iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen Occasionally Displays Glitch Lines

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.

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 .

I called sales team and explained the problem so they said they will fetch the faulty device and dispatch me a new one. You should request the replacement as early as possible because later may be they will not replace it
