Last weekend I bought an iPhone 16 Pro Max 512gb, and I’ve noticed that sometimes when I tap the display while it’s in Always-On mode, a few glitch lines briefly appear before disappearing. This happens randomly and not every time. So I’m concerned that the screen might be failing. What should I do about this?
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
18.2 didn't solve the problem .... after 3 months with iphone 16 pro max 512... nowadays apple is a joke
My first iPhone 16 PM had touch responsiveness issues and it wasn’t because of the screen protector and sometimes i would get vertical lines one the display when it wakes from the always one display, At first i thought it was a software glitch specially after reading many complaints of the same and many people getting the same problem even after getting a replacement iPhone, For me my replacement iPhone 16 PM had no such issues screen is very responsive just like any iPhone I’ve owned in the past and the vertical lines are gone as well, So i’m 100% confident it’s a hardware issue.
Still having the problem on 18.3.2. I had this screen issues since September 2024 when the darn phone came out with the added benefit of the glitch. Apple not gonna fix it. Updates haven't fix any problems. I spend 1200+ for this junk. Fix it apple or I am done with iphone
Hi Natty,
Did you find out any solution? are you still facing this issue?
I’ve turned mine off too now and seems to be OK. Sounds like software bug so hope it’s fixed soon as like to have always-on display on
Issue gone by disabling always on display.
At this point we are pretty sure it is a software problem.
Now we just have to make Apple understand it. ^_^;
I’m having the same problems. Glitching and on/off unresponsive screen. Hopefully they fix this in next update.
I have the same problem with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Turning off AOD solved it.
Now in 18.2 I’m experiencing glitches again. 2/3 daily
Me too. it is driving me crazy.
I’m now on version 18.2, and I’m still experiencing battery drain.

A replacement solved my issue and from what i read in Reddit there are 3 iPhone 16 Pro Max display suppliers LG, Samsung, And third one, The problem happens with iPhones with LG displays.
I’m 100% confident it’s a hardware problem with the display, My replacement iPhone has no such issue.

I am on 18.3.2 and still facing the issue. I don't know if this is a Software Issue. It should have been fixed by now.
Maybe I should take it to Apple support.
