Apple Confirms More Problems For iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro Buyers - Forbes

iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models are suffering from a bizarre occupation that causes horizontal lines to flash crossed their displays. Apple has present confirmed the contented and revealed it is moving connected a fix.

In an interior Apple memo seen by MacRumors, which I person verified, the institution admits that customers whitethorn “report that erstwhile they powerfulness connected oregon unlock their phone, they concisely spot horizontal lines flash crossed the screen.”

Crucially, Apple has ruled retired a hardware flaw that whitethorn person prompted a recall, saying successful the memo that it “is alert of the contented and a bundle update is coming soon that volition resoluteness the issue."

When is “coming soon”? The evident reply would look to beryllium iOS 16.3, which is presently successful beta testing, but that seems unlikely. This large update has lone conscionable entered its 2nd nationalist beta, and Apple typically releases 4 to six betas arsenic good arsenic a ‘Release Candidate’ earlier launch. Consequently, I would not expect iOS 16.3 to get earlier precocious February.

More likely, is iOS 16.2.1. While iOS 16.2 was comparatively stable, determination are inactive bugs from the troubled iOS 16 launch, which Apple is addressing successful a bid of ‘minor point’ releases. It is uncommon for Apple to publically beta trial insignificant constituent updates, truthful a dedicated hole could motorboat arsenic soon arsenic the institution is ready.

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max person had a buggy commencement to life. For those keeping count, you tin adhd this show occupation to a database that includes iMessage and FaceTime activation issues, CarPlay, information migration and iCloud bugs, shaking camera lenses, random restarts, lock surface and Dynamic Island glitches and excessive artillery drain.

With exciting iPhone 15 leaks already appearing, anyone inactive sitting connected the obstruction whitethorn similar to propulsion their upgrades a generation. But for iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max owners, astatine slightest you cognize the latest successful a agelong enactment of fixes is not acold away.
