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 .

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

Small detail that I’ve noticed maybe is worth pointing out.

I’m not sure if it is coincidence but the last 3 occasions that have happened to me on my phone has been when I was inside a car.

Other uses have said how it might be related with automatic brightness and maybe I see why?

since when you are inside a moving car the lighting slightly changes inside specially at night with street lights and traffic, but it has also happened during the daytime with cloudy weather where lighting is almost never changing.

it has happened to me also in a concert with lighting changing all the time.

I don't know, I don't understand. I'm on the weekend now and this hasn't happened. I also noticed that this happens more often when notifications come.

but this doesn't happen at home. no matter what the lighting is

I hate iphone 16 now. Its so annoying. Cant even type correctly and keep missing words. I have to type it very slowly to keep my words correctly. I called apple support and didnt help anything. I went to the store, they took off my screen protector and told me to buy one from them which is $40. Thats ridiculous! I had ip13 with no problem with any screen protectors. I hope apple can help this problem soon bc im so frustrated and I paid too much on the phone too 😡

I have the same issue on my 16 pro max.

I bought it just a week ago and I started to notice that after waking up from sleep mode with AOD, sometimes lanes appear on the screen. Current iOS version 18.1.1, so they still haven’t solved the issue…

As I had just bought the IPhone 16 pro max 265gb it to has had some screen glitches with lines and randomly plays YouTube whenever it connects to a Bluetooth item like my car even when I don’t have YouTube in the background or pulled up I went and switched it out for the same Verizon or phone but this one is also doing it but worse than my first one!

This happens to me since the iphone 16 pro max delivery, kept waiting for updates but 18.2 still does not resolve it. Went to the apple store and of course did not happen there and they said not even a recording would work for them, they need to see it happen. Any suggestions on making it reproduce at the apple store?

I bought a one terabyte 16 Pro Max and transferred to green my data from my 14 Pro Max. The glitches started from the get-go. Would be totally random and very quick. But still very annoying. I messaged apple and they said to return the phone since the new update didn’t fix anything. I returned the phone transferred my new data and the glitches are still happening. Must be a software thing. I will try to turn off the always on display.

I am facing the exact same issue right out of the box, and I was in the Facebook Messenger app when I first noticed it. My brain straight away went to thinking this is a hardware issue. Later, I realised it could also be caused by bugs in the display driver. I had a chat with Apple support. They asked me a bunch of questions and told me you could take it to an Apple Authorised Repair Center where they could inspect it and maybe offer a replacement. I am not very keen on getting the display replaced on my brand-spanking new phone. It hurts my heart. If they are going to give me a brand-new replacement, I am okay with it. I was waiting for a software update to fix it. Yesterday, I completed the 18.2.1 update. While the phone software feels smoother, I have today noticed on two occasions random flashes of vertical lines. This time, white in colour. I have seen in the past all colour combos. Green white, mix, etc. I am still unable to pinpoint if it’s a hardware or a software issue. A software issue doesn’t bother me so much.

I purchased on the 15th of October 2024 and November it started showing me same glitch, I chatted with apple representative and discussed over call to one if them the same they started saying its something to do with my icloud space etc. I was using IPhone 6plus for past 8years and I never had any issues. This is something with the software I feel like iPhone has become a joke now.

18.3. There is still a glitch. 16 pro max 256. Now I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem. The work is not affected by what visually insenses. There is no possibility to replace the phone, so I resigned myself and I'm waiting for the 17th series.
