Several iPhone X Owners Encountering Green Line on Display Due to Potential Hardware Defect

[DeepIn2U]

Dude you're making yourself look stupider by the second. Their obviously (just basic economics lesson here for you, but that's your level) making a new contract (or already have that) when they get on the end of their current contract, just like ANY other business would do. Their not giving a blank cheque to Samsung (again for obvious (for educated people) reasons) to make them as much panels as possible...

Again Samsung makes 100% of the OLED panels for the X with their proprietary OLED making technics according to Apple's specs. LG has other proprietary OLED technology their using, which you can't just interchange in the iPhone X.
So unless you're suggesting that Samsung is lending LG their proprietary OLED making technics (which would make you look even dumber than you are now), then you're just wrong. Just accept it, instead of trying to defend your wrong position that's based on lack of knowledge...

Stop talking nonsense about **** you got zero point zero knowledge of. Just makes you look dumb...

Right. And you work at Apple?

So by not signing a “blank check to smasung” you’re stating that is video June for iPhone X sales can surpass 92 million units for OKED screens - which is a LOT even by Apple’s sales, that a contract in 2018 cannot or will not go to LG? LG has almost completed a new OLED manufacturing plant which is to be dedicated to Apple’s contract (supposedly) daccordinn to facts featured inMacrumors articles here.

What’s Stopping Apple with going to LG to make the iPhone X screens? Nothing by your supposed facts. Right now yes Samsung makes their OLED panels explicity - which is what I stated in my last post. I posted an article after researching as you’ve suggested. I also rated here is nothing stopping Apple from going to LG; and nothin. You’ve stated not anyone else has thus far either suggest Apple will not and cannot.

There is nothing dumb nor stupid understanding a supplier hange to a juggernaut with Apple.

You seem to like to insult those that trunk being basics, even if they agree to the facts. Go ahead and enjoy yourself doing that. I guess that’s your job as a hater in life. Wow I didn’t have the facts, I researched and posted yet also entertained the POSSIBILITY of another supplier and for that you insult me? You need a life man seriously.

it is me or the phone today look as big as tablets, lol, my first iPhone was an iPhone 4s, right now I have an iPhone 5s still running strong, is good for what I need it, phone calls, text messages, read emails, for everything else I use my 5,000 dollar hackintosh tower. but I understand some people like phones the same way I like my extreme computer parts.

"Hardware defect"

So this is Samsung's fault, right?

No, it this were Samsung's fault, the whole damn phone would catch fire and explode in their hands.

This happened to me on day 2...

Stripey!

Did they replace it for you?

it seems like Apple doesn't control the OLED Technology yet

It’s gonna happen to thousands. If this is a defect that requires something to come loose, like the previous LCD display thing they had going - it might take some time for the lines to appear on thousands more devices.

Quote this post for posterity - there absolutely will be a recall / replacement program (since Apple never titles them “recalls”, a brilliant marketing strategy)
[doublepost=1510627739][/doublepost]

17 Pages of comments on a few phones with defects. I love it.

Do you know statistics at all? “A few phones” is easily HUNDREDS of phones across all online forums. That equates to thousands because many people will just take it back and have it swapped and no big deal, they don’t go online for attention or to whine.

Soooo depending on what is CAUSING the lines, if it’s hardwsre based it may eventually happen across them all and these are just the first ones that were easier to fail. This is definitely a problem...

 

[raghu8912]

funny because that number of Note7s that catched fire (20 out of 3 million) made samsung recall them

There is a difference though, Note 7 was a safety risk it could burn some ones home or bring down a flight, green line on a display is not safety risk. Green line is just ugly looking.
Occurrence & Risk will be evaluated before deciding how to deal with a quality issue.

It’s fine if you love it, but I get annoyed when fans suddenly proclaim anything other than the newest tech is all of a sudden Stone Age and inferior.

That’s pretty much the same way I feel when folks bash anything that’s new b/c being stuck in the past is apparently a good thing. Tbh, I don’t mind Face ID. I’ve been using it for a while now and it works well enough for me. Are there quirks? Yeah. Were their quirks with the first generation Touch ID? Yep. Will Face ID continue to improve? Yep.

I’m actually happy Apple got rid of the home button. The full screen look makes the iPhone actually look modern. It breathed some much needed new life into the device.

Pair that green line with the red dot on the digital crown of your Apple Watch, and you've got yourself a nifty Christmas display.

Ahhhh, so now we know that Apple Watch LTE and iPhone X are being built by Santa's Elves at his workshop in the North Pole.
But you think they would have discovered the non responsive touch screen in colder weather before they left the workshop!! Unless.....I think the elves want to make everyone think about who the hard workers are that build the iPhone X's and how cold it is where they work.

Two day old X. TrueDepth camera failed earlier today, disabling Face ID. Made a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow.

Bright pink (not green) line appears on the left side of the display just now, progressing rapidly into several pink and green lines. Display starts flickering and changing to a yellowish color, then becomes entirely green. Display has completely failed now with just a single green pixel illuminating when I click the power button.

Annoying. Hopefully they will have replacement devices in stock.

have pics?

 

[Bawstun]

Yep. Just as I’ve thought...it’s an entire bad batch. Just like the battery of the 6S’s. They (Apple) must be FREAKING out hoping that this is limited to just a few hundred thousand devices.

Did any one get the green line after they started wireless charging? I just got a wireless charger and don't want to use it if it will cause the issue.

 

[cmaier]

Well no green line on mine which arrive a day and a half ago.

Really?

If wireless charging causes display failures i would have mine on a pad 24/7 to soak test to make sure my device was sound.

If you genuinely feel this way you should return the phone.

Had mine sitting on a wireless charger (cheap one from anker) all day yesterday. No issues.

 

[lilbukka]

I had the green line appear. but when I did factory restore and powered back up again. the green line was gone. I got my iPhone X yesterday. I'm taking it to Apple on Monday.

This has just happened on mine, 20 days after it was working perfectly. Today I was shooting a longer video, and then when I went to play it back half an hour later, I noticed the line at the right side of the screen.

5 days past the return period, so I guess it's gonna be refurbished phone for me when they replace it... Scarier still is how well it worked for all these days, and that it just happened after a longer time. Phone hasn't suffered a single drop or even a stronger shake or anything. I can't stress enough how much I was babying it.

Apple said to me mine was not a warranty issue and have asked for £500 to fix it.

As you would expect I am not amused, when a phone is 4 weeks old.

Call Apple. You went into store right? They never treat me right in there. I've had to call them to get things done like 99% of the time.

Call them or go on an online chat support. I went to chat, explained the issue, send him the photos to show what it looks like, and he said they’ll replace it - there wasn’t even a hint of resistance.

Funny thing is, today the line has almost disappeared even though was blindingly strong yesterday. Now it’s only really visible on darker/gray backgrounds.

 

[Dreamer2go]

My dad’s phone got affected last night. Order date: October 22, 2017
Shipment date: November 22, 2017

We live in Hong Kong. My phone is fine so far, and I received my phone earlier than his by 2 weeks.

 

[greenmeanie]

But seem to be the worst at introducing new hardware without any problems.

Well at least Apple is one of the best in the business for customer service
