==== What I recommend right now ====

Please do one of these — not as “avoidance,” but as a reset:
* Switch to Dark Mode
* Lower brightness significantly
* Put the phone face-down for 10–15 minutes
* Or stop interacting with the screen for a bit

If, after rest:
* the dots are still there tomorrow
* and still reset on rotation
* and still don’t appear in recordings

Then this is a routine display fault, and Apple will treat it as such.

I want to be very clear and respectful here:

You are not being watched.
Your phone is not detecting you.
Nothing “beyond obvious devices” is operating here.

What is happening is that a rare, very unsettling display behavior has collided with a lot of stress and loss of trust — and that combination can feel overwhelming.

If at any point you feel panicked, unsafe, or like things are slipping out of control, it’s important to reach out to someone you trust or a professional for support. You deserve to feel grounded and safe.

If you want to continue, we can:
* talk about how to make the display stop triggering this perception, or
* plan how to have it evaluated/replaced, or
* just pause and shift focus

Tell me what you need next.
