You feel bad for customers who have to deal with it? You mean, take the phone back to be exchanged, free of charge, for a working, great device? Yeah, seems terrible!
Stuff happens with things like this. So what. It's a minor inconvenience at that, for most people. Apple will take care of it. Now if Apple blew everyone off and said tough titties, that would be a different story. However, thats not the case.
Move along.
I'm so glad I did not.
I am very grateful to the beta tester for reporting it 
I cannot wait a year or two when Apple perfects it! Again thank you!

That's normal guys. Just don't look at green line and you should be fine.
What's next? Multiple Face Id failure??? This is embarrassing... Steve would be really pissed! Guys at apple! You should really do better than this. Shall I get a Honor/Huawei device instead of my iPhone?
Why is it most likely?
For OLED displays, Samsung is definitely the „most likely“ suppliers, and every report I have seen so far claimed that the iPhone X display comes from Samsung.
It’s prettier than that line at the bottom of the display.
Actually, it is pretty. Too bad it’s a defect and not a touch interface leading to some cool new feature. Someone had a video of a Pixel 2XL that would produce a green line like that when he would touch and hold his finger down on the display. It looked like a cool new game, but it was a defect of some sort.
Sadly, the Pixels 2, which I was interested in this fall and which I am in the process of returning, have also had a rough rollout. But the Pixel 2/2XL design is a relatively simple and time tested one. The iPhone X is a new design and a bit more complex than what they’ve done before. So far I don’t see any indication Apple has been lax or careless in the way Google looks to have been on some of its missteps. It is not always easy being an early adopter. I hope Apple is able to resolve this soon and keep customers happy.

It is that easy if there is an Apple Store in your country. I live in Portugal now and here it would take at least a week or two to get a new iPhone.
Uhm Samsung supplies all the OLED displays of the X.

"If you like your green line, you can keep your green line."
If you don't like it, get a replacement unit.
I get it now...these phones are actually the super special Jedi Edition!

The envy among of some these posts are overwhelming!
It's like buying a lottery ticket. If you don't buy one you have no chance at winning.
