Reports have surfaced shortly after the release of the latest iPhone models, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, regarding potential display issues. These models were officially launched on September 18, following their introduction on September 9. Some users have reported seeing colored lines on their screens, which could indicate a hardware problem. While many issues with new devices are typically addressed through software updates, hardware-related problems often require more extensive solutions such as device replacement.
On social media platforms like X and Reddit, users have shared their experiences with the new iPhones. On X, two videos showed a Bordeaux-colored iPhone 18 Pro with a vertical pink line and another with a thick green line on the screen. These videos sparked concern among users. However, some skepticism arose after a Reddit user noted that the green line appeared to pass behind the Wi-Fi icon, which is unusual for a hardware issue. If the line were due to a faulty screen, it would likely cover the icon as well, leading some to suspect the image might have been manipulated.
Despite these doubts, experts on social networks have not found any suspicious elements in the videos, and the thickness of the lines matches known display defects. However, the issue does not appear to be widespread. The reported problems are isolated, and the reasons behind the screen issues remain unclear. It is difficult to determine how the devices were used before the lines appeared, which complicates the analysis of the cause.
In addition to the display problems, some users have reported issues with Face ID, Apple's facial recognition system. Some users say Face ID fails during specific actions, such as unlocking apps, leading to device freezes and automatic restarts to the lock screen. Others have encountered messages stating "Face ID is not available" during setup. The "Require Attention for Face ID" feature also appears to have problems. While the cause of these malfunctions is not yet known, Apple may address them through a future software update.
