Last weekend I bought an iPhone 16 Pro Max 512gb, and I’ve noticed that sometimes when I tap the display while it’s in Always-On mode, a few glitch lines briefly appear before disappearing. This happens randomly and not every time. So I’m concerned that the screen might be failing. What should I do about this?
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
I've experienced the same issue on my iPhone 16, with occasional glitch lines appearing on the screen. I consulted a professional, and they mentioned that iOS 18.0.1 didn’t fully fix the touch sensitivity issue. Some devices have this glitch with iOS 18.0.1, while others don’t. Even after updating, I was still seeing those black lines occasionally, which seems to be a system bug—pretty frustrating! I tried other solutions and eventually tried a reapir & updated to the latest version of iOS 18, which completely fixed the problem. So you can give it a try, hope everythings goes well!😄
Yes, I made a backup and they gave me another phone. I have Apple Care. I'm going to wait a few more days to see if the fault appears again.
I have the same thing
As far as I understand, the flickering happens under some special lighting. When I'm at work, the flickering happens a few times. At home, I don't notice it. I don't understand what's wrong.
The same thing is happening to mine, I don’t know if should make an appointment or if it will resolve itself on the next update. I will read the comments…
when you say special lighting, is it in low light conditions? Because that’s when it happens most of the time.
and is it when you use your phone normally or right after waking it up?
Ive had the same issue. I thought i was imagining things but then it happened frequently. Just turned off my Always On display for now, lets see how it goes. - 16 Pro Max
