Reply to comment by [deleted] in Is this a dead pixel? by gimsum

Single dead pixels happen too commonly to replace the entire screen for that (and that's the ONLY solution -- replace the entire screen). If there's enough of them a replacement is in order though.

Apple may be more stringent than other manufacturers and put the minimum at 3, some others can have it above 10.

That’s asinine

It's how the industry works. A single pixel isn't worth replacing the entire unit, but that's the only fix.

On iPhone just replace the screen?

Well yes but doing it for a single dead pixel is too expensive even for Apple. Well, kinda (individual representatives MIGHT choose to do it anyway for you, but no guarantees; it's probably fine if the store has a good profit that day for example)

It should be covered under apple care

A single pixel might not be covered even with Apple Care+. See if the representative will do it anyway, as there's some chance.
