iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen Occasionally Displays Glitch Lines

I’ve had the same thing happen with mine. The update 18.0.1 did not fix the touch sensitivity issue and I noticed the exact same thing with the screen glitching. It’s truly for an instant, I see the lines and then they disappear. I think they haven’t fully resolved the software issues. I’ve had my iPhone 16 pro max since the release date.

This is exactly why I’m not bringing my phone into Apple. They don’t know what’s going on yet, so techs are going to start with a wipe and I have no interest in starting over.

Patiently waiting for “glitch-gate” to become more mainstream so Apple addresses this problem publicly.

18.2 didn't solve the problem .... after 3 months with iphone 16 pro max 512... nowadays apple is a joke

Still the same after the update to 18.1.1.

I’ve experienced the same issue as described since launch day. I’ve restored the device and set it up as new as well. I’ve been on public iOS releases all the way up to Apple seed releases 18.1 and the issue persists. The glitch usually happens shortly after unlocking the device but not always. The flash of lines varies on the location of the screen and usually measure 2-3” tall and finger or so wide. Just wanted to provide my experience in case someone else is seeking misery amongst company.

I also saw that thread. I think it’s ridiculous that to fix the problem we have to disable one of the main selling features for the iPhone.

I had the same issue took it to apple twice. 1st time they said my backup was corrupt. Made me start my phone from fresh and not use the backup. Still was happening. 2nd time they replaced my phone. and guess what... still happening only worse now. Before it was small lines now the whole screen glitches out. Hopefully they come up with a update fix soon.

but my wife has also started to see it on her iPhone 16 Pro Max which is on the public release 18.0.1

Been there done that. They replaced my phone and it still does it. Has to be a software issue. Hopefully an update soon will fix it.

Same here. I talked to apply support

he told me to reset my new iPhone 16 pro max again! I told him i will not. This is clearly should be updated by apple in software update

I had my phone replaced and it still does it.

Same. Turn always display to off. It will fixed the issue

Mine is like that too. I had the problem since purchase all the update didn't fix a **** thing

I’ve got the same phone and I get that glitching issue every time I go to use my phone from always on. I thought my phone could have a dodgy display connector but it doesn’t appear any other time. I’m hoping it’s just a glitch they can fix and not a bad batch of 512gb models because as for most I don’t have time to go to apple and get it fixed nor go without a phone
