iPhone X display with a nasty glitch: the green line of death?

Many people on Apple’s forums, Reddit are reporting a glitch on their iPhone X. There seems to be a green line runs down the left or right edge of the iPhone X display, regardless of what’s happening on-screen. Moreover, some of iPhone X owners say they restarted and even restored their devices but it didn’t work — the pesky green bar remains on the screen no matter what you do. This situation is making the user frustrated and prompting them to take to Twitter to share photos of the issue.

Since its release, Apple iPhone X’s design has revolved around its all-encompassing OLED display. Imagine if you’re using the smartphone with its nice display, and out of nowhere, a weird green line appears. How frustrating and angry would you feel?! The iPhone X green line problem is even dubbed the “green line of death”. Fortunately, this problem doesn’t appear to affect the iPhone X functionality.


From our observance, the issue could stem from an electrical flaw that messes with the way the phone displays pixels, as TechCrunch notes. This has affected similar OLED devices like the Samsung Galaxy S7 in the past. So it can lead to the theory that this is likely a hardware failure in the iPhone X. Apple seems to be aware of the issue. As the company’s official support account has interacted with some of the iPhone X owners on Twitter. One of those owners said that Apple replaced his phone for free at an Apple Store. They didn’t specify if anyone explained what might have caused the flaw.

Should Apple continue with an OLED screen display?

As iPhone X is Apple’s first phone to use an OLED screen and a custom panel, it looks like Apple still has a lot to develop if it wants to continue with this display style. For now, with a price tag up to $1000 ~ Rs.83660, iPhone X users have all the rights to complain and demand a detailed explanation from Apple for this problem. What do you think about this?
