iPhone 16 Pro Max Screen Occasionally Displays Glitch Lines

Issue gone by disabling always on display.

At this point we are pretty sure it is a software problem.

Now we just have to make Apple understand it. ^_^;

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

Even after the update 18.1 it still occurred... I hope it will be solved...🤔

Pls keep us posted. They also told me bring it in to Apple Store

Same here. It just happened to me twice within 5 minutes.

it’s happening more frequently even though I’ve updated to latest firmware.

I’m having the same problems. Glitching and on/off unresponsive screen. Hopefully they fix this in next update.

Same thing here, got my iPhone 16 pro max a week ago and it’s very laggy and glitchy. Supposed to take it to apple tomorrow, ans I’m hesitating now that I’m reading y’all comments. Should maybe wait for the 18.1 update, maybe it’ll fix everything

I have purchased my phone last week and have also faced this issue 3 times. Unfortunately it’s random and I can’t reproduce it. Took it to Genius Bar but they mentioned there’s no issue with the phone. Now I don’t know whether it’s hardware or software issue and if I need to replace my phone .

Yep I've had this issue from day 1, happens at random times. Apple Support did a check but iPhone 'seemed fine' and no software issues, suggested I book a genius appointment but looks like it's a bug! Please sort it out Apple!

I called sales team and explained the problem so they said they will fetch the faulty device and dispatch me a new one. You should request the replacement as early as possible because later may be they will not replace it

I have experienced this issue before 2 or 3 times very occasionally 2 weeks ago and never noticed it again until last night when I was in an indoors concert which it did it around 5 times in the span of an hour roughly… it was always when waking up the screen from “always on display” or when pressing the camera control button.

my phone was fairly hot because I had it on my hand while taking raw photos and recording in 4K. That’s what leads me to think it happened that often during that time?

Since then I’ve kept locking and unlocking my phone and the lines are not coming back…

but for the looks of it if it’s only happening when using “always on display” and in the scenario for all of us so I really hope it is a software issue that gets fixed soon and not hardware related

I just received mine in the mail brand new yesterday. Once it did the update after transferring everything from my old phone I can’t even put in my passcode. Also, the phone won’t do a hard reset with button combinations. I’m stuck on the hello screen and it won’t even let me restart it. The screen flashes past the pass code entry right back to the hello screen. I talked to Apple Support and they said I have to take it to Best Buy as an authorized place to work on Apple devices. I’m hoping this will fix my issue considering I can’t even use the phone. It sure has been one expensive paper weight up to this point.

Leider habe ich dieses Problem auch nach dem IOS Update 18.1 noch immer. Ich bin hier etwas überrascht, dass es kein aussagekräftiges Statement von Apple gibt. Es gibt ja hierzu einige Eintragungen mit dem gleichen Problem. Da ich zum ersten mal ein solches Problem mit dem I phone 16 pro max habe ist für mich die Frage, ob hier noch gehandelt wird.

Same issue, called phone support and they did a remote diagnostic and my phone hardware was fine.

they scheduled me to an apple store to have my phone replaced as an option but from the looks of it, that wont solve the issue.

turned off my always on display, hope issue will disappear

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
