Serious Problem Suddenly Strikes iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max - Forbes

Apple’s iPhone 14 motorboat has been acold from smooth, with sales and stock issues and numerous bugs ranging from the bizarre to the serious. Now different large occupation has struck owners.

Out of nowhere, ample numbers of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max owners person abruptly started reporting horizontal lines appearing crossed their telephone screens. Apple has confirmed the problem, but determination is presently nary fix.

The lines chiefly look erstwhile iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models aftermath from slumber oregon footwear up, occurring repeatedly. While it is hard to gauge the standard of the problem, complaints tin beryllium recovered crossed Reddit, Apple Support Communities, comments sections and societal media (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 etc).

Numerous affected users person besides written up their experiences speaking to Apple enactment online and successful stores. Despite fears to the contrary, Apple claims the occupation is bundle alternatively than hardware related, but their recommended fixes are not working. Here is simply a emblematic example:

“I already took it to Apple twice, and they told maine the aforesaid happening some times. They told maine that it’s not a hardware contented cos everything came backmost good erstwhile they ran diagnostics. They told maine that it has to beryllium a bundle issue. The 2nd clip I went, which was yesterday (12/17), they reset my telephone done their machine cos seemingly it’s antithetic than resetting done the phone. The contented inactive continues.

It has besides yet to beryllium determined if the bug affects each oregon lone a peculiar SKU of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models, with Apple sourcing displays from LG and Samsung. It is besides chartless whether it tin origin semipermanent damage, arsenic happened with the iPhone 14 Pro camera shingle bug.

Ultimately, if you person yet to bargain an iPhone 14 model, my proposal would beryllium to wait. Apple’s 2023 iPhone plans are far much ambitious.
