Issues with brand new iPhone 12 Pro Max

Just picked it up yesterday and it worked all day. Plugged it in to the charger for the evening and around 3:30am I was awakened by the room being lit up with this bright pink glow! I tried to reset it but it is completely non-functional. It follows a pattern: the Apple logo comes on with a black screen, it then goes blank and the Apple logo comes back with a backlit screen, then that goes out and a solid pink screen comes on for a few seconds and then it starts all over again.

None of the buttons work and it can't be turned off or switched to anything. It is completely non-responsive.

Waiting for 10:00 am EST to take it back to the AT&T store!

Sucks!!

Hey I had the same issue, my phone just made a weird electronic noise and froze with pink squares/rectangles all over the screen. It restarted and went to the black apple screen and seems to be working fine as of now. What should I do though?

That sounds like a sample defect; exchange it with your retailer or directly via Apple Support.

Same here. My issue started when the phone updated to ios14. None of the side buttons work, won’t turn off, won’t do anything at all.

Ha, thanks but I won’t need the luck. It’s going back tomorrow. Should’ve known better then to grab from the first batch.

That’s an easy fix friend. Go into Apple wallet settings and click on double click button to launch Apple Pay to the off position . This will solve your issue

I had the same issue today. Exactly as you described it. My phone is working fine now. Tell me if your phone gave any trouble again or is it now working fine?
