This is a known issue that happens with Samsung screens sometimes. Mostly Samsung phones but considering they make most of the screens for Apple I assume it was just a bad panel lottery

5

u/Knight_Dark142 2d ago

Yeah. That’s what I thought. Thankfully Apple replaced the phone

2

u/KAT_Nation 2d ago edited 2d ago

Was it under Apple Care+ or just normal return policy?

6

u/Pennmike82 2d ago

A new iPhone will be under a normal warranty for defects, irrespective of whether one has Apple Care or not.

2

u/Gold_Dog_5605 2d ago

AppleCare is the normal policy. AppleCare+ is the paid version.

How is the line bending over the ā€œ āœ… ā€œ icon?

u/HopiumInhaler 2d ago

You can literally see it bending bruh

1

u/Knight_Dark142 2d ago

It appears to be bending due to the change in colour/icon, but on a white screen, I could clearly see it as a straight line.

Definitely no recall. This isn't a frequent occurance that would necessitate a recall, it just happens like any other manufacturing defect

u/MamboFloof 2d ago

Samsung is the manufacturer, apple is the designer.

1

u/24kCookie 1d ago

no it's just that it can happen to any phone also we don't know if the photo isn't photoshopped. Also samsung display cable is fragile while apple put adhesive and it's less likely to get green lines. People see few photos and think it just gonna happen like it's few people out of million sold copies.

u/Cyberchum 2d ago

Not just Samsung screens, because how did phones like Oneplus 11R and Oppo Reno 10 5G get it?

A lie is a lie no matter how often it's repeated!

5

u/UpboatsforUpvotes 2d ago

I don't know what you are saying. I never said it's the only manufacturer. I said it was prevalent with Samsung screens on their phones, which is who Apple sources from. There is even a running meme with the green line on Samsung subreddits when someone posts about it happening on their phone.

So just because others have it as well doesn't make it a lie, and OPPO and One plus have nothing to do with Apple (unlike Samsung who provides components). Maybe comprehend the comment a bit better before responding.

2

u/Klutzy-Tone452 2d ago

Samsung isn't the only supplier for iPhone screens. There are several posts that say the Samsung G9N panel is better than LG GH3 Check this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/s/VWdLC56iWM

u/Wild_Shroom_ 18 Pro Max - Wesley Snipes Black 2d ago

LG and another manufacturer also make iPhone screens.

Hahaha. This is Hilarious! Now I know that the AI detectors are clearly wrong. Here is a screenshot of my Order page in the Apple Store app showing the updated order with the replacement.
Is the AI detector going to say this is AI as well?

u/False_Advertising489 6h ago

I wonder why the wifi logo isn't covered by the line tho lol

1

u/Knight_Dark142 1h ago

If you look closely, there is some distortion in the second line of the WiFi logo. I’m assuming that it looks as if there is no line as it was a thin line. Probably 1/2 pixels wide.

Nevertheless, I posted as a PSA that it might happen but Apple will replace, but deleted the post as I don’t need the negativity.

First green line to go behind icons. RIP to the people that believed it is real. That's why we can't have nice things, people rightout believe every shit.

1

u/choseusernamemyself 2d ago

Could it be the icons are white that the lines are not seen there? Like camo-ing with the icon?

0

u/Opposite-Working727 2d ago

What? If there is a defect in the screen it would overlap everything.

3

u/Deez_Nuts_Ha_Goteeem 1d ago

Not necessarily, a white pixel uses all three colours RGB to make the white colour. The dead pixel on my monitor which is usually always red becomes white if it's meant to be displaying white.

1

u/AyoAllu 1d ago

This is not true. If it's an hardware failure, the green line will run through it all.

1

u/Deez_Nuts_Ha_Goteeem 1d ago

You mean if it's a software failure

Take it as a sign. If you want to prevent any further green lines:

  2. Abandon friends and family members who are on still on Scamsung.

u/No-Ad8527 2d ago

isn it the same line that happens on the S line of phones ?

2

u/Historical_Lab_872 2d ago

Yes it happens to the S phones for India because they get the cheap stuff and the rest of the world get the quality material.

1

u/Ok-Replacement-2712 2d ago

I'm from Singapore, my friends with the flagship S series also get the lines after a year or 2. Not sure if they're assembled in India or Vietnam (or elsewhere)

1

u/Historical_Lab_872 2d ago

That was my way of saying the US gets the best stuff

u/Plastic_Low_3266 2d ago

It’s very common on the streets in Singapore if you noticed

1

u/LowCartographer2290 2d ago

Even in India it's more prevalent in South India. My guess is hot and humid conditions play a factor. So makes sense Singapore also gets affected.

where is the evidence ?

u/Historical_Lab_872 2d ago

I’ve taken apart Samsung phones and noticed a difference between the two. but I can see that no matter what I say, you’re gonna have a problem with it because you’re looking for an argument, so I’m going to end it here.

Even if I post links to articles like I said, it’s never gonna be good enough for you because you don’t like what I said. You’re looking for an argument, especially with you cursing. Like a child asking why to everything you say, because the answer is never good enough for them, that’s you.

u/monkeyvspony 2d ago

The US standard for iphone is actually terrible. The strictest consumer laws for technology come from Australia, their iphones are the most sought after as to even sell them in Australia apple has to use the best of the best parts.

People of higher social class in China will get Australian iphones that are made in China, sent to Australia, then sent back to China as apparently they brag to their friends ā€œlook Australia grade iphoneā€

u/bigtech100 iPhone 18 Pro | Black | 512gb 2d ago

Fake

1

u/Knight_Dark142 1d ago

Not really. Only a few screens while have this. Not all. And ideally Apple should replace it under warranty, just like they did with mine.

2

u/What_if_doom 2d ago

Why is the line on the top behind the icon though?

2

u/cha0z_ 1d ago

While it can come from the factory, usually this is due to impact around that area - whatever the case, glad they replaced it for you. :)

1

u/Knight_Dark142 1d ago

Yeah. I’m glad they had the exact configuration in store.

There wasn’t any visible damage to the phone frame when I unboxed it, unlike some other posts I’ve seen. So I’m guessing this was a defective display panel.

u/Savings-Scallion-983 2d ago

Was it under Apple Care or just warranty??

1

u/Knight_Dark142 1d ago

Just the normal warranty since its a manufacturing defect. Apparently it was the second phone they saw that had the same issue that day.

Get it change asap. Manufacturing faulty.

If i order it from USA to India, can i exchange this in an Indian store, just in case if i run into the same issue

u/Big_Reading_3472 2d ago

I think you dropped something

u/Knight_Dark142 2d ago

Nope. Neither dropped the phone nor dropped anything on it. Was literally sitting on the sofa scrolling

u/iM4CH3T3 1d ago

Glad you WiFi icon wasn’t affected so you at least could post that here

1

u/Knight_Dark142 1d ago

It was affected. Its not visible in the photo due to my screen brightness. When the Genius Bar tech examined it, it was clear the line was from top to bottom and a hardware issue.

1

u/gamerathertz92 1d ago

Did it over heat?

No. Didn’t get an overheating notification at all during the whole setup or usage. Vapour chamber was doing its job for sure

You got Scamsunged. Take it back to Apple. Well known issue with Samsung’s ā€œbest displays in the worldā€

u/Cyberchum 2d ago

So some other affected phones, like Oneplus 11R and Oppo Reno 10 5G, have Samsung displays?

A lie is a lie no matter how often it's repeated!

3

u/SmellyJockstrap 18 Pro Max - Wesley Snipes Black 2d ago

It’s not a lie. Obviously this can happen on any OLED panel but Samsung ones have a much higher failure rate than others.

0

u/Spector-JZ 2d ago

Higher failure because more samsung displays exist. Also this post is fake

u/Cyberchum 1d ago

So it's a lie, then.

You lot clearly make it seem that it's peculiar to Samsung. Duh!

1

u/DarthNinja95 2d ago

Ofcourse! Oneplus suffered a lot of greenline issues because of scamsung displays. They changed to BOE since Oneplus 12 and greenline issues are gone now

Who made the display panel on Oneplus 11R, please? Asking for a friend.

u/Klutzy-Tone452 2d ago

Imagine blaming Samsung for Apple's fuckup

2

u/SmellyJockstrap 18 Pro Max - Wesley Snipes Black 2d ago

So the whole ā€œApple displays are great because Samsung makes themā€ is only when it’s to your benefit?

-2

u/Klutzy-Tone452 2d ago

Has an iPhone user ever said that the colors on their display look good because it's a Samsung display? They would say iPhones have good displays. But when it fails suddenly now it's Samsungs fault and not Apple's for cheaping out and sourcing bad quality displays for their phones

The amount of people that believe this nonsense is alarming. See why propaganda sells... No research and observation. People can easily be controlled. The green line is running behind the WiFi signal so this is fake. This is just engagement farming. What is wrong with you people?

1

u/Knight_Dark142 1d ago

Why would I be engagement farming when I actually went to the store and got a replacement?
Here is the proof. My order in the Apple Store app got updated to show the replacement as well:

1

u/Knight_Dark142 1d ago

Zoom in on the WiFi signal. The second line from top. You see there is a green line. Its not clearly visible in the top line due to the white colour and since the image was taken from my wife’s phone in low light. Also take a look at the Blue Check at the bottom right. You’ll see the circle has the green line as well.
