iPhone 16 Pro Max display glitch

Hello everyone, I bought new brand iPhone 16 Pro max last week and I am noticing a problem with the display. When I activate it with always on display on, at the moment I unlock it, small vertical lines appear mostly at the bottom of the screen, sometimes even in the middle and it lasts for a split second, sometimes they also appear while I open an app. These lines are not big but really thin and last a blink of an eye. Version 18.2 updated and it persists. Does anyone else have this problem? Could it be a software bug? I hope it won’t hardware problem😭

I really think it’s a sim-related bug.

Since I inserted a new eSIM into my iPhone (in my case, Vodafone Italy), I started experiencing random vertical lines at the bottom of the screen. This often happens when I wake up the phone or use apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram. If I disable mobile data, the glitch disappears. iOS 18.4 hasn’t fixed the issue yet.
