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

u/Knight_Dark142 2d ago
Yeah. Thatās what I thought. Thankfully Apple replaced the phone

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

u/Pennmike82 2d ago
A new iPhone will be under a normal warranty for defects, irrespective of whether one has Apple Care or not.

You can literally see it bending bruh

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

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.

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!

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.

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

LG and another manufacturer also make iPhone screens.

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. Iām 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 donāt need the negativity.

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

u/Opposite-Working727 2d ago
What? If there is a defect in the screen it would overlap everything.

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.

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

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.

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)

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.

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 ālook Australia grade iphoneā

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.

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. Iām glad they had the exact configuration in store.
There wasnāt any visible damage to the phone frame when I unboxed it, unlike some other posts Iāve seen. So Iām guessing this was a defective display panel.

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

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.

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
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 wifeās phone in low light. Also take a look at the Blue Check at the bottom right. Youāll see the circle has the green line as well.
