Vertical Lines on my iPhone 16 Pro Max display

i got the iPhone 16 pro max and the same thing is happening to me. it’s like a screen length black and white barcode that appears for like 0.1s and disappears with a blink of an eye. im glad im not the only one but im so frustrated bc it actually low key bothers me. I thought maybe i broke my phone but not after reading all of you guys’s comments. @apple pls fix this.

Hi.I don’t know anything else; Apple Support said they would fix the issue with a software update. They downloaded the log file for analysis… Unfortunately, the issue still persists for me with version 18.2. I will contact them again in 2025 if nothing changes! You should do the same; if we stay silent, they won’t do anything!

I’m experiencing the same issue with two vertical lines on my screen. It started last night when I plugged in my phone to charge, took a shower, and returned to find two vertical white lines had appeared. I tried restarting the phone by pressing and releasing the volume up and down buttons, then holding the side button until the Apple logo appeared, but that didn’t resolve the issue. I reached out to Apple Support via Chat and followed the same steps as instructed, but the technician eventually advised that an appointment with Apple would be necessary. I’ve only had the phone for about two weeks. This is the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Attaching screen:

My apple iphone 16 Pro Max is also a new one.I bought it on this october and I met with the same problem. But the problem is It’s so hard to prove this matter.It just appear for like 0.1s and then dissapears with a blink of eye.@apple please fix this

I have experienced this issue before 2 or 3 times very occasionally 2 weeks ago and never noticed it again until last night when I was in an indoors concert which it did it around 5 times in the span of an hour roughly… it was always when waking up the screen from “always on display” or when pressing the camera control button.

my phone was fairly hot because I had it on my hand while taking raw photos and recording in 4K. That’s what leads me to think it happened that often during that time?

Since then I’ve kept locking and unlocking my phone and the lines are not coming back…

but for the looks of it if it’s only happening when using “always on display” and in the same scenario for all of us so I really hope it is a software issue that gets fixed soon and not hardware related

I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max. I am getting split second vertical lines across my display too! Apple replaced the display on my phone after saying the lower part of the screen had a dead zone, which is what was causing the vertical lines to appear. However, even with the new display, I am experiencing the same issue, frustrating!! When you pay this much for a phone, you expect everything to work seamlessly without such issues.

I returned my first IPhone 16 Pro max because of these issues as well. To my surprise the replacement does it too!!!… My Wife’s 16 pro max doesn’t have this issue… Very frustrating and feel like I shouldn’t have upgraded from my iPhone 13… this has seriously made me a think about exploring android.

Same issue here. Multiple times a day and for a fraction of a second.

I have the same issue. Apple please fix.

Same for me!

Yes same with me
