iPhone 16 Pro Max's screen is flickering

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.

Hi, I have the same issue. I went to apple genuis bar to replace my screen. It was confirmed a hardware issue on the screen. The technicians were able to replicate it as well and confirmed Screen Hardware issue. You might want to give it a try for screen replacement.

Mine is doing this more frequently now I’ve been into apple and it’s got worse so I’ve been on chat tonight again and I’m going to go in and return the device for a 1200 pound phone it’s not good enough Apple could easily solve this which leads me to think is something they know about and aren’t saying.

I am also experiencing this issue with my 16 pro max. The 18.2 update was run during the activation process of the 16 pro max. Randomly, black and white vertical lines will flash on a portion of the screen for about a second. It doesn’t last long enough to capture. I also think there is some sluggish responsiveness in the touch interface. I only recently upgraded to this model, and I used iOS 18.2 for a few days on my 15 pro max prior to the upgrade and did not see the issue there during that time. As my experience with the new 16 pro max has been exclusively on 18.2, I can’t speak as to how my device would have behaved with previous software versions. I see that several people have had their phones tested and found no hardware issues. Hopefully, a future update will resolve the problem.
