Some iPhone X Users Are Reporting a Strange Green Line on Their Displays

Posted November 10, 2017 at 5:17pm by iClarified
Some iPhone X users are reporting a green line that runs from the top to the bottom of their displays. Numerous customers have complained about the problem on Twitter, Apple Support Communities, and MacRumor's forums.

"So I was playing with my new phone and all of a sudden, this happened," said one MacRumors forum member with the alias tmiles81. "It's a really bright line going down the entire right side of the phone."

The issue doesn't resolve itself with a reboot or restore; however, the line can apparently move to a different area of the screen. It wasn't present at the time of unboxing and has affected users with different model devices.


If you're experiencing this problem let us know in the comments and contact Apple Support.

Check out some photos of affected units below. You can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

At least it does not explode. That is a very good thing.

This exact issue happens all the time on a wide range of phones with AMOLED screens. Just one of the side effects of having the latest AMOLED technology. Thin, curved etc...

Iphone X is Dead... Apple will just cover it up like what they did on iphone 4 antennae issue. And Im sure apple fanboy will just ignore it.

Samsung manufactured it but it was Apple’s custom design.

This is what I'm talking about!!! I chose right waiting some months until Apple gets its shit together, and sorts out all problems with the iPhone X... Wise thing to do for a radically redesigned iPhone with many more potential defective parts, might as well let the current one pass by until the iPhone XXX/X-2/Xs/XxX comes out :P

Well that's exactly what I was doing all those years, I got Classic in Sept, then 4 in Dec and 6 in January. If it were a geometrical progression I might come full circle and buy in Sept again, an XS lol. But most likely I'll get mine in Jan-Feb. what's wrong with that?

Apple should come out and explain why. I’m very sure they knew about this issue long ago.
