People get so excited with brand new hardware designs that they forget about bendghazi, holdgate, etc. Comes with the territory. It doesn't mean the phone wasn't tested, or was rushed, or people are beta testing it. It's just brand new hardware and stuff pops up. There's a reason the iPhone 8 had no issues. The good thing for Apple, I suppose, is that none of this stuff sticks, as long as they don't start exploding I suppose.

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? o_O
Sure, if you feel the need to send all your data to China.
 
That’s the Kylo Ren Edition

Yes you should. Buy yourself one of those great Huawei phones. They never, ever have any defective ones...ever!! They are perfect in every way. So much so that I suspect they may actually be manufactured by some advanced alien culture and teleported to the final packaging area of the factory. o_O If you can't understand that ANY time you make millions of something, you are going to have ones with problems, then yes please buy something else. This is only more true with ever more complicated devices.
 
Count me in as another victim. Wife's phone has same line out of the blue last night. Spent 2 hours on phone with chat support. Screen is now completely black, though haptic underneath still works, alarm works. Will have to show up to Apple store which is 45 min away from me. Wow!

Interesting. Luckily Apples customer service is excellent! I wouldn't mind having a green line on my X in about 8 months so I can get a brand new device
More or likely as Samsung makes the display screen or so I've been led to believe...
 
Cracks me up seeing all the people who don't own an X bashing it every chance they get. "Oh no! 20 out of 3 million phones have a defective display! So glad I didn't ruin my life by buying one!" Lol, do these people even hear themselves?
They’re so bitter that they couldn’t afford one, that they want to hate on anyone that could. People these days...
 
As someone who had to get his iPhone 6s Plus under Apple Care replaced twice and the 3rd unit still has issues, I really hope my X doesn't get a green line. These "new" phones they give out as replacements are garbage.
 
I had a dead pixel on my first 6S that may have been a scratch and Apple gave me a new one for free. I’m sure they’ll replace the defective units.

It still sucks and hopefully it’s not a wide spread problem.
 
Oh my, 50ish reports out of what? Millions? News flash, hardware fails, and new hardware sometime fails almost immediately. Those who don't have X's can thank their lucky stars, while the rest of us few million X users will have to fret over our perfectly working phones, knowing that Apple would replace them the moment we experienced a defect like this. Now, back to my life.
