iPhone 12 Pro Max purple lines / purple ghosting

Hello there! I just bought an iphone 12 pro max and i just realized when i am recoding a video on the dark "purple lines" appears on dark objects like a dark chair/jacket or tv controller. Also purple lines appears on setting menu when you are scrolling up/down. Is that a software or a hardware problem? Should i replace it?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hi!

I have same problem on my 12 mini. I notice that when brightness is set on max. I hope this is software problem an Apple can fix this. I have read few blogs about it, and everybody say it is a OLED problem. Week ago I checked all iPhones (12) in local resellers in Poland. Every single iPhone had this problem. It’s annoying, but I hope apple will release some update. I think replacement iPhone will not help you now.
