iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen Occasionally Displays Glitch Lines

18.2 didn't solve the problem .... after 3 months with iphone 16 pro max 512... nowadays apple is a joke

This is exactly why I’m not bringing my phone into Apple. They don’t know what’s going on yet, so techs are going to start with a wipe and I have no interest in starting over.

Patiently waiting for “glitch-gate” to become more mainstream so Apple addresses this problem publicly.

I’ve experienced the same issue as described since launch day. I’ve restored the device and set it up as new as well. I’ve been on public iOS releases all the way up to Apple seed releases 18.1 and the issue persists. The glitch usually happens shortly after unlocking the device but not always. The flash of lines varies on the location of the screen and usually measure 2-3” tall and finger or so wide. Just wanted to provide my experience in case someone else is seeking misery amongst company.

I’ve had the same thing happen with mine. The update 18.0.1 did not fix the touch sensitivity issue and I noticed the exact same thing with the screen glitching. It’s truly for an instant, I see the lines and then they disappear. I think they haven’t fully resolved the software issues. I’ve had my iPhone 16 pro max since the release date.

I also saw that thread. I think it’s ridiculous that to fix the problem we have to disable one of the main selling features for the iPhone.

On the most recent update 18.2

still having the line glitching. Anybody find a solution.

My iphone 16 pro max is also showing very occasionally glitch lines . Its just one month old. I am worried as in its a display issue or software bug? Or is it because of always on display? Kindly help

Still the same after the update to 18.1.1.

I had the same issue took it to apple twice. 1st time they said my backup was corrupt. Made me start my phone from fresh and not use the backup. Still was happening. 2nd time they replaced my phone. and guess what... still happening only worse now. Before it was small lines now the whole screen glitches out. Hopefully they come up with a update fix soon.

Same here. I talked to apply support

he told me to reset my new iPhone 16 pro max again! I told him i will not. This is clearly should be updated by apple in software update

I’m on 18.4 and iPhone 16P Pro Max and still get random vertical line glitch on wake. Glad I’m not the only one in 2025 and I’m surprised apple hasn’t fixed this yet. 100% software issue based on how many effected in this forum.

I have also been having this problem with my 16 Pro Max since launch, and it started happening almost right out of the box. Hopefully Apple gets this fixed soon!

I had my phone replaced and it still does it.

Been there done that. They replaced my phone and it still does it. Has to be a software issue. Hopefully an update soon will fix it.
