2016 MacBook Pro 13.3 with touch bar screen has lines across the top

Yours is not at all the same problem, but it certainly looks like a screen defect.

You should seek service right away.

I have exactly the same issue since 10 days today I have to Apple service Center, instead of changing the machine they are simply informing me that they will change display ...annoyed as it’s basically machine problem

My Mac has the same problem.

It only happens in the winter when I leave it for a long period of time next to a window and it gets really cold! after a few minutes working with it, the computer worms up and the lines disappear!

To solve the problem, I started leaving the computer overnight in a drawer with a scarf underneath and another one on top.

Sometimes I also rub the area with my hands repeatedly over the area with the lines (both the screen and the other side) to warm it up and the lines disappear quickly

I have the same issue, have to Apple service Center in India and their reply was oh we change the screen however as much as I read is machine problem and keep happening even display is changed. Quite annoyed as the MBP touch bar is only 4 months old.

Just had my screen replaced because this issue

Hi Lisa,Can i ask you a question about Macbook has a black stripe on Screen,My Macbook now as the same as your.Apple will replace or screen or main board or give a new Macbook,i need your information to bring my Macbook to AASP,i live in Vietnam,and doesn’t have Apple Store or Ginius Bar,thank you and sorry about my English is not good

I also have the same issue with you. In my case is the worst than you.

My Mac Pro is late 2016 13.3 with Touch Bar. I bought it from USA in November 2016. I have got it with me 1y and 6m. Now, I am in Thailand.

While my Mac is high temperature.

Some keys on the keyboard do not work properly such as " ] ", the arrow left, the arrow right keys.

Then I also got the horizontal red line on the top and bottom of screen.

This one with the same problem, I called Apple Support and they told me that my computer is not under warranty. Apple is losing a lot by selling expensive, unprincipled computers!

I'm having the same issue (image attached). It just started 3 days ago. For now it is intermittent, and seems to mostly occur when the computer has been asleep for a good amount of time, and then clears itself after a few minutes of operation. But from everyone else's comments here, it sounds like this is only going to get worse. I think I'll have to wait until it is more persistent until I make my visit to the Apple Store, but it seems clear I will have to head there pretty soon. Makes me sad.

Quick question for lisa1011 and All: Is it cold at the moment where you live? I think this is a problem with the physical coldness of the machine/poor thermal insulation of the display.

I thought mine was getting worse and worse, and then we came out of the cold snap where I live. How bad this symptom is depends for me on how physically cold the lid of the computer is. I have the space gray and I have to say that the metal gets exceptionally cold compared to the silver machines I have had in the past (as you might expect because of the color). Now that it is warmer where I live, my machine gets less physically cold on my way to work, and I am not seeing the lines. If I am being objective, I have no lines as long as my machine is at or above the published operational temperature (10ºC/50ºF). This is not to say this is okay, because I have never seen this in any of the *many* Apple powerbooks/macbooks I have had before, but I wonder if the lid is now so thin, that the thermal insulation on the display is less than it should be and it is basically malfunctioning due to cold until the operational temperature gets up.

Same problem here

Mine is getting worse and worse. It has become a black stripe.

this is also happening to me, same place, looks the same as the other posts here. going to take it to get looked at this weekend. what was the resolution for the other folks who posted here?

Same problem with me, I only noticed today that I have this horizontal grey line on the bottom of the screen, I’m going to Apple premium reseller shop to see what they can do..

I have the same problem with my screen... 😟 How did you solve the problem?
