Hi Randynsr,


Thanks for reaching out to us here in Apple Support Communities. Based on what you're describing, it sounds like there could be a possible hardware problem with the display on your iPhone. Before we start exploring service options, can you let us know if the line persists after restarting the iPhone, and does it appear in screenshots? If you're not familiar with the screenshot process, the resource below will walk you through how to take one.


Take a screenshot on your iPhone


Please let us know what you find. We look forward to learning the results.


Take care.
