Hello there,

I suggest you bring your iPhone X in for repair. Apple will mosy likely replace the device free of charge, since this seems to be a widespread issue.

www.support.apple.com will give you repair information.

Cheers!

I had this same issue as well with a bright green line going down the right side of my screen 2 weeks after having the phone. I called it into Apple Support and I took it into the Genuis Bar the week after (earliest appointment available). They were willing to repair the display for free but needed to keep the phone overnight. I couldn't leave my phone overnight so they ended up giving me a replacement phone instead. I am located in Toronto, Canada.

Hi all

Same issue popped up on Jan12 after very normal (boring) use of the phone ie no shocks, no falls, no extreme temperatures, phone in a case and with a glass screen protection since day 1

Took 7 days to get an appointment at a 'Genius' bar where they offered to replace the screen when i asked for an exchange for a new unit ... 1 hour wait seemed acceptable anyway but i had to wait 2 hours to have the 'Genius' tell me they have to give me a brand new one ... problem solved but this is a first in my 20+ years of owning Apple devices that i experience poor quality manufacturing AND poor quality service in the same instance - disappointed

I was at Apple store in Berlin too last Friday, they had no iPhone X there but next morning they had luckily one for "repair / replacement" and some for people who wants to buy the new iPhone X.


First on Friday one Engineer in the store told me that this issue with the green line "is a known software bug“.
And will be fixed with an IOS Update.

But i don’t know, I can’t believe him personally.


I have now since Saturday my replaced iPhone X and I hope it not come to the old problem.

Are you annoyed by the posting of the pictures ?
In this way people encountering this issue recognize the problem and act accordingly.
The phone was exchanged today by apple acknowledging the issue at hand, nonetheless this doesn't absolve a company like Apple putting on the market a very expensive product without proper testing and quality !


So minimizing the problem by saying - " Some iPhone X displays have experienced failures; when a device is new is the most likely time for this to occur.

If it happens to you, simply visit your local Apple Store or other servicer and arrange for repair/replacement. " -

doesn't make it better or more comfortable to customers paying 1000 $ for a phone .


All the best !
