iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen Occasionally Displays Glitch Lines

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

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

I have purchased my phone last week and have also faced this issue 3 times. Unfortunately it’s random and I can’t reproduce it. Took it to Genius Bar but they mentioned there’s no issue with the phone. Now I don’t know whether it’s hardware or software issue and if I need to replace my phone .
