Screen Flickering on waking up on iPhone 14 Pro Max ?

Hi there. First at all you are not alone, there is many of us having the same problem. Look at this forum on reddit and write something. We need to come together to be heard. I made a few topics too but no response so far.

I know the culprit already. It's something you can't affect but wait for update (if they are capable to fix it). I had this problem for 5 weeks and ended up replacing my phone. Now I am ok. But follow this reddit forum, you will know when fix is on the way.

Well guys, as a proof here are links to thread of people who experienced the same issues.

So what is it that’s causing it then, if I may ask? Sorry but it’s just so frustrating having to see it happening on BRAND NEW PHONE.

Can you please paste the link to the page where Apple acknowledges that it is a Software issue? Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem. I noticed that it only happens during 'wake-up'. At first I thought it was just a minor glitch but it kept appearing/happening on a random fashion. It so bothersome. I tried resetting the phone and even restoring through iMac but I ended up experiencing it again. I hope Apple resolves this immediately.

Yes I have been closely following this thread too, thank you for that.

I’d be more than glad if I get a replacement. My concern is I got my phone through a plan from Vodafone. Can I go straight to an Apple shop/store and request for a replacement? I reckon they’d be more aware of the issue and would be more keen on replacing my phone as opposed to Vodafone whom i’m assuming would only offer a repair instead.

You should always go to person from which you have the phone. And if you missed out on return period it's up to seller if he decides he gives you a replacement.

I guess the best solution to do now is to wait for fix which hopefully comes within next few weeks.

Btw, does you phone work fine otherwise? I had LG based display before and I had problems with haptic feedback. I also heard a crackling sound when I was accepting a call.

I have the same issue, my phone was purchased from Apple Store Miami Beach location on December 17th 2022. I noticed it about a wake after, every time I wake up it flickered white lines through the display. Hopefully it was a software glitch but I’m here reading that I’m not the only one with this issue. Hopefully apple fix it soon.

Thanks for this.

I’ll pop in at Vodafone then.

Other than the annoying and bothersome flicker, my phone’s all good. How’s yours since the replacement?

Much appreciated. Thank you for helping out.
