Will do, hoping others can chime in if they have the issue.

Checked my 7 from numerous angles with different brights and no lines.

I checked my 7 plus and I don't see it. I know this is a stupid question but, are you sure this is not some oil from your fingers that was left on the screen?

Yes, I'm sure

I have it on my iPhone SE, which I bought about six months ago. The line is about 1/16" inch thick and looks a bit like something behind the screen. It goes exactly from the lower left corner to the upper right. It may have been there all along, as it's only visible on a bright white screen. I noticed it today when upgrading my OS. The phone was sitting next to my computer with a bright white screen after it restarted.

After seeing photos of other peoples' phones, I'm concerned it may get worse with age. Luckily I have AppleCare+, so a replacement will be free.

I must say I've gotten my money's worth with AppleCare+. First my 4s went into the wash the same week I bought it. Then my 5s screen went crazy just before the extended warranty expired. The power in my Apple Watch went squirrelly a mere two months before the extended warranty expired. Mind you my stuff gets the best care possible. Always a case on it and also a screen protector on the iPhones and iPads. They're never where they can get wet, not even into a steamy bathroom. You'd be hard pressed to tell all my iStuff isn't brand new.
