Display issue on Apple iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max? Apple may soon bring a fix

Users took to Reddit and Apple community forum to complain about the issue. For some users, the issue started following the iOS 16.2 update, while others claim that they have seen flashing lines on the screen in previous iOS 16 builds as well. One of the Reddit users says that he took his iPhone 14 Pro Max to Apple. After running diagnostics, the technician told him that it is not a hardware problem. Instead, it is a software issue.

As per various posts of the users on Reddit, colours and numbers of the horizontal lines vary. Green and yellow lines are the most common. Some claim that the glitch doesn’t happen every time, while other users say that the lines disappear after a second.

The company is aware of the issue and has offered support to the affected users. “We’re here to help with the display on your iPhone 14 Pro Max. Use the following link to join us in DM and let us know if you’re seeing multiple horizontal lines, along with the iOS version shown in Settings > General > About. This will help guide us through steps,” wrote Apple Support in a post on Twitter.

Apple released the iOS 16.2 earlier this month. With the latest iOS 16.2 update, Apple has timed the AirDrop’s ‘Everyone’ option and restricted it to only 10 minutes once it is turned on. Recently, it was reported that the time limit feature of the AirDrop has been rolled out in China as the protesters in China have used the Airdrop to spread anti-government messages to masses. It also brings 5G support for eligible iPhone users in India.
