Mysterious lines appearing on screen - iPhone X

[Davydd]

I went to bed last night and woke up to a mysterious green vertical line on the screen. That was an iridescent green or the thicker line which the photo shows as washed out. Subsequently several other thinner lines appeared throughout the morning. If I take a screen photo they don't appear in the photo. So I had to take a photo with another iPhone.

I hadn't dropped the iPhone. I turned it completely off and rebooted it but that didn't help. Anyone else had this problem? I am assuming I will have to take it to Apple.

The display is damaged for whatever reason. Does the phone look like the screen is being lifted off? Quite a few forum members have had the battery bulge which could possibly damage the screen. I'd take it to Apple for a diagnosis to see what your options are

Thanks. I checked for the battery bulge and it is definitely the problem.

Maybe, Apple will show some grace to you. Out of warranty, that is a costly repair.

For the record for others, this is a photo of the iPhone X battery bulge.

Take it or send it to Apple. It’s very possible they will offer a replacement device for the cost of battery replacement which is $69..

iPhone X battery swollen

Hi there, just today I discovered that my iPhone X screen is popping up from the case. Upon further inspection it appears to be a swollen battery. I am going to the apple store tomorrow but I was wondering if I will be getting a new replacement or would Apple replace the battery? And what would...

For some reason it is always the X with the swollen batteries.
