There's a white line on my new iPad Pro's lock screen

In the end changing wallpaper worked for me after talking to support. Added a new wallpaper, checked it didn't have the line and then changed back to the original wallpaper and it was fixed. Def a software issue and I suspect some weird widget related thing.

There’s been some people posting here this issue since January 2024. I initially thought it was an iOS update, somewhere in the 17.x series since that’s when it started for me on my old iPad and now on my new iPad.

In one search I found reference to a feature in the accessibility functions. I can’t recall what it was but I checked and that feature was already shut off. It still may have to do with the iOS but might depend on one feature being on when another is off and this conflict creates the vertical line. I cannot remember what changes I’ve made over the years they’ve added so many I have no use for.

Can I ask, did you get to the bottom of this? My 2024 iPad Air has just started doing exactly the same thing. It isn't a major thing as it is just on the lock screen - so far. As I swipe down on the left half of the screen a thin white line draws down on the right.

It does it in landscape too so it isn't a hardware screen issue - probably.

Weird glitch or sign of a future failure?

This was happening to my iPad Air gen 4 (3.5 years old) when I swiped up to access the passcode. It was running the latest iOS, which I think was 17.5 or 17.6. I did a quick search and the issue appeared to be hardware, specifically the screen. So I figured it had something to do with the age and amount of use of the iPad over the years (probably 8 hrs a day).

Time for a new one so I bought the new iPad Air 2024. Same problem. I think it shipped with iOS 17.5 as it required an update. It doesn’t happen every time and it disappears too quickly for me to grab a screen image.

I hope they resolve it soon.

I’m now having a problem with controlling the audio from the Lock Screen. I tried to post here but I kept getting an error message and having to log back in. Here’s the link to my other post. If someone could double check and see if they get the same error that would be great.

Did you consult it to the apple technicians? I have also the same problem as yours.
