iPhone XR Screen with Faint Black Outline

Have you encountered this screen issue where there’s a faint black outline at the left part of your screen? It’s not dirt or smudge. Checked this also with iPhone XRs of friends and they have this also.

iPhone XR, iOS 12

Hi nates_05,


​Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand you have a question about your iPhone display.


It looks like you may have a case or screen protector on your iPhone; do you see the same outline with the case/protector removed?


Does it persist after you Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?


If you see the same outline after restarting and with any protectors removed, I recommend getting in touch with Apple to look at your options: Contact Apple Support


Take care.
