Some iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users are reporting a horizontal line flashing on the iPhone display when the device is turned on, but there is no clear reason or how to fix it.
In a Reddit thread, dozens of iPhone 14 Pro users reported that one or more green and yellow lines may blink on the screen when the device is turned on and disappear after a few seconds. According to these users, Apple support has informed them that the issue is not the result of a hardware defect, but rather a buggy iOS 16 bugs.
The problem appears to have started after the iOS 16.2 update, although some users have reported that the issue even occurs on older versions of iOS 16. One user on Reddit said that an Apple engineer told them on the phone that Apple is working on a software patch for the issue, but the details are unclear.
Apple is currently testing iOS 16.3 for developers and public testers, but the update is not expected to launch until early next year. iOS 16’s latest official release is iOS 16.2, which includes several new features, including Apple Music singing, a new Infinity Notes app, and more.
