Screen partially flash vertical lines when the phone is picked up or unlocked. I was wondering if anyone else’s screen was flickering with white lines on the screen randomly.
I have tried to see if there’s any way to trigger it but it seems to happen at random.

I am experiencing this too.. What did you do? Ask for replacement or wait for the next update that might fix the issue?
Did you consult it with the apple? or Are you planning to replace your iphone with the apple store?

Troubleshooting a Flickering iPhone Screen:
A. Boot Loop:
Have you just installed an update? If so, it may be stuck in somewhat of a Boot Loop. This commonly occurs when you go about installing an update, and it stalls while in the process. So, try my User Tip: How to Fix an iPhone in a Boot Loop - User Tip
No Succes?...
B. Get this iPhone Serviced...
Contact Apple, and setup a Genius Bar Appointment or see an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your local area. Be careful as to where you get this item, ask you may get an error of an unofficial screen. So, to avoid this continual message, it is best to have Apple replace a screen.

Hello Everyone,
I'm also having this issue on the iPhone 16 pro max. I got the phone replaced and exchanged for another unit and the issue still persists. It’s a sudden ‘flicker’ of black and white lines that last about a second. I rang apple support and they recommended putting the iPhone in recovery and reinstalling another OS in case its a software bug. But since I got the phone replaced anyway, is it really worth doing that? I’m hoping an upcoming update fixes this as I can’t keep replacing iPhones it’s clearly not hardware related. Any advice on this is much appreciated. Thanks guys.
I had this issue and returned the phone for replacement. Replacement phone does it too.
Yes mines Doing the same thing only a month old updated software still the same
did you manage to get a resolve
Ho il vostro stesso problema! Ho provato a catturarlo con la registrazione schermo e non appare nel video e da come so, se succede questo vuol dire che è hardware! La cosa bella è che è il secondo che fa così! L’ho cambiato già una volta.
I’ve had issue now a while after receiving 18.3.1, the problem still persists, I’ve reinstalled firmware, Apple Store checked it out and found nothing wrong, my screen also goes black for a while and won’t come back in for sometimes 45 minutes, I’m ready for shell out the money for a Google pixel Pro XL and be done with this bs, all the money spent on this device and this is what I get?
This is happening to me too, barcode like likes randomly throughout the day and sometimes green barcode lines, I’ve called apple and they tell me the same sh** update the phone and then reinstall as new, why would I reinstall my iPhone as new? What a waste of time, my phones always updated and it’s still happening, I don’t know what to do? My iPhone 14 Max was amazing I wish I didn’t change it, this new iPhone is disappointing, I’ve tried screen recording and it never catches it !!
so annoying what do I do?
The software update fixed the problem for a good week but it’s back again
It is absolutely shocking how can they sell us these phones ? The should refund us. I might write an email to the daily Mail
Had screen replaced, still happening.
Had screen replaced again, still happening.
Had phone replaced, still happening.
Maybe I think I see what you mean, what I see is some lines over the grey bag but as far as I know that is normal. I’ve seen similar stuff happening in pc monitors.
when I click in that specific bag and make the screen larger the lines don’t show up anymore
I’ve received a replacement today and kept it at 18.2 software so far seems to be ok not had the screen flicker yet. Wouldn’t bother going into store next to useless advisor I spoke to the other day had to go through apple care
Without a shadow of a doubt Iphone16 pro max is the worst phone I have ever purchased from Apple. As a loyal Customer from the very first iPhone. I can put my hand on my heart and say this. How can they charge £1200 for something that hardly works. I visited the Apple Store twice, diagnostics say everything is healthy. Everyday randomly my screen flickers with either barcodes or lines. It is an absolute joke!
I’ve tried that as the level 2 Apple support person suggested, and it did not work. I was also informed that this issue is widely reported by customers. Why they have not fixed it yet is the better question…
iPhone 16 Pro Max's screen is flickering
