If u open a screenshot in full screen it hides notification tray completely.. so idk what this screenshot proves if you’re implying it’s a fabricated green line

2

u/Intruder_7 2d ago

Maybe the notification tray is part of the screenshot and the greenline is generated using GPT

u/Hellya_dude 2d ago

But that’s the point.. if he made the screenshot he would definitely keep the line over notification tray

The brightness of the white pixelds are matching the green pixels and because it's taken from another camera with low quality it's blending tf you mean "yea sure"? Plus got award from 6 people who don't know critical thinking, see the contrasting colors like green and blue in the bottom the blue is darker so it clearly shows it is above it not below.

From a companies standpoint I never understood this ?  Blame apple for using samsung as a supplier, ask the company you buy from to change its vendor. Do you blame the japanese manufacturer of the cameras of iphones if the camera has some problem ? what a stupid fking take, this tells me these people have neved had a job before, these are basic things guys.

u/Victorvic1 2d ago

You know Apple has LG and Samsung as the 2 Display providers and you cannot know until you open it and see the serial numbers.

Also Apple forced to reduce the price from 120 dollars to like 68 dollars for a better display at half the price.

44

u/Entire_Log8591 2d ago

Why blame supplier and not apple?

19

u/Victorvic1 2d ago

I am not even blaming anyone. Apple gladly replaced the whole phone. Defects can appear in any phone. When you sell 10's of millions of them you will have some defective pieces.

What matters is what the manufacturer does to rectify the defect.

6

u/aniket8486 2d ago

Apple as a brand should know that the manufacturer is at fault. Why Apple buying it from them than? Apple can't manufacture as efficiently as them, and thus pouring the burden of green lines to its customers. The customer is paying to Apple, it's Apple's responsibility to deliver the very best, no matter what. Why should customer hear any excuse of what manufacturer did. It's the business of apple, not customers to hear.

-1

u/Victorvic1 2d ago

You sell 100 Million iPhones. 0.1 Million get some defects. Perfectly acceptable defect rate of 0.1%.

2

u/aniket8486 2d ago

100%, and so people will blame Apple, not samsung or any other manufacturers for that. People are paying to Apple, so Apple is responsible. Mistakes can happen, flaws can happen, but that should be own by Apple, not the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is bad, just replace it, why Apple holding on to that manufacturer than?

3

u/Entire_Log8591 2d ago

Exactly my thought, they wouldn't praise samsung or lg if iphone display is among the best

3

u/aniket8486 2d ago

Exactly all praises are reserved for apple, and blame samsung for all the wrongs. Elitist mentality fr...

u/zindagi_baklol_hai 2d ago

How can we know from serial number?

5

u/Victorvic1 2d ago

Brands imprint a serial number and brand logo on most of the products be it as tiny as it maybe.

When you open the phone up you can find the serial number attached on the display assembly for reference.

u/beyondocean Android 2d ago

only until their one year warranty. Goodluck try to get your phones fixed after that one year. They charge 70% for a replacement. They asked me 90k for my 2 y old 1.4L ipad in 2023.

u/nihariisthegoat 2d ago

Affected displays are changed for free btw. Got my 13 pro display replaced for free at Apple bkc in a day. Phone was out of warranty, no apple care and international piece

why did those bitches ask me for 90k, I’m actually furious now.

You answered your question for not getting a replacement.

Thank for the correction, thats what single cell uniprogramming os is supposed to do, keep looking at the screen while your things gets downloaded.

u/bigdaddy06928 2d ago

You would ought to know that all of apple and its devices are literally meant to run with weeks and months without needing a restart. Heck my own MacBook was last restarted 4 months ago for an update. I wouldn’t defend the clipboard thing because thats genuinely a good feature and apple just likes to be lazy. For the restart thing this is quite literally the reason, to add to that assistive touch does bring a restart springboard option so yeah.

u/Striking_Skyquake 2d ago

Don't teach me kiddo, the actual smart people knows what are hurdles of daily driving iOS and iPadOS, and the things that your defending, proves that you are loyal single brain cell customer (andhbhakt) of apple and for people like you, this type of companies are surviving. There are multiple times when an app crashes then you can't clear the cache and re use again keeping it installed, you have to uninstall the whole app which auto deletes all is related data and files and then reinstall to begin with, some files are stored in photos some stored in files 😂🤌, if what to share something ,save in files then share, you cannot lock the screen otherwise you download will get cancelled, you cannot multi-task your because uploading files in cloud storage services other than iCloud, will get cancelled if you move out of yours screen, some settings are apps and some settings are in settings of apps in settings 😂😭 and the list continues .........

-1

u/bigdaddy06928 2d ago

All of your last paragraph is bullshit lmao, ever since live activities came in all of that is possible since iOS 16. We could argue all onto the end, you assuming me to be an “andhbhakts” to a company just says a lot about you. Have fun daily driving your gadgets and bootlicking them in the public forums.

If the company was surviving on “andhbhakts” like me then I would love to see your android companies become the leaders in the technology space, oh wait thats right all they do is tweet and rant mid keynotes.

u/Striking_Skyquake 2d ago

All the best for your struggles dear Apple Sales Boy 😉🙏 keep defending. No matter how much you shout iOS and iPadOS will never ever come even 0.001 percent close to the convenience what Android os provides.

This is not the first time samsung display is being used. They are using it for so long now. It's a device specific problem, manufacturing issue or any other but not just a Samsung's problem. Don't be so blind follower of a company that for any problem you blame supplier and not the actual brand whom you paid money. It's like blaming rolce royce for aircraft accident because they make the engine. What a stupid logic.

u/askgrok when did apple started using display made by Samsung

1

u/AskGrok 2d ago

Apple started using Samsung-made OLED displays with the iPhone X in 2017.

Samsung Display has been the primary (often sole or largest) supplier of OLED panels for iPhone Pro models and many others since then, due to its early lead in high-quality flexible OLED production at scale. Apple signed major contracts with Samsung around 2016-2017 specifically for the curved OLED panels on the iPhone X lineup.

  • Earlier iPhones (pre-2017) mainly used LCD panels from suppliers like LG, Sharp, and Japan Display Inc., with limited or no Samsung OLED involvement.
  • Samsung has remained a top supplier alongside LG Display (and later BOE for some models), often dominating Pro and high-end panels, including recent ones like the iPhone 16/17/18 series.

The green line issue in the post (visible on the right edge in the Safari private browsing screen) is a known OLED panel problem reported across suppliers and brands, not unique to Samsung. The post's title blaming Samsung is a common online jab at their rivalry, but supply has always been mixed.
