I rebooted mine 5 time in the dark... no issues, but Samsung OLED so not surprised.
Got a tip for us?

Started with green text, switched to white text, finally had amber text (over many different brands and models). Amber was easiest on the eyes. Before the CRT terminals, used a teletype machine with paper tape (early 1970s), or 80-column punched cards with a card reader. Finally had a color CRT before switching to Windows or Unix clients on mostly minicomputers. Some of the Unix clients were BSD, which is what Mac OS and iOS are based upon (by way of Steve Jobs' NeXT Computer Company).
I started with a Timex Sinclair 1000 connected to a 12" B/W TV, then got an Atari 800 and 130XE(?) then a Tandy Co-Co, and finally a Tandy 1000 PC, which was more advanced than the IBM PC being sold at that time.
So I had a 16-color CRT before Windows became more than a Runtime for Aldus Pagemaker.
So it was basically IBM DOS, then MS DOS.
Good thing I didn't have to deal with punch cards.
Coding was done MASM 1.0 and Lattice C 1.0 (later bought by Microsoft).
My editor was Sidekick.
Good thing my Dad got me an Epson 132-column DMP. I think he paid a over $1K for it.
Those were the days.
These lines are the most innovative user interface additions I've seen on iOS for a long time!
A couple years ago we had modem lottery.From what I'm reading, it's affecting devices with LG panel:
I said it in the past/other topics: LG display < Samsung display.
Now, welcome to display lottery.
What’s next? NAND lottery? (DRAM-less vs DRAM)
Oh.. the phone still boots up! I thought it was them lines, and then the phone fails to load. That's entirely different!
Most of my friends are generally considered to be some of the most successful people alive. Many are on the NY Times Best Seller list on a regular basis. Quite a few of them have PhDs in one field or another. Some have more than one and are professors at some of the worlds top universities. The thing about the best of the best, they don't take things seriously. If you are not willing to laugh at the universe, they most certainly won't take you seriously. I strongly suspect that you are the kind of person we all dread being around.
The kind of people that would be turned off by juvenile and pointless posts are not the kind of people who contribute anything of value to anything. Be enough of a grownup to act like a kid. You might just accomplish something with your life.
You kids today with your fancy monochrome displays! I didn’t even have a screen I had yellow paper on a teletype, and had to use oily paper tape to store programs.
UPDATE FROM APPLE SUPPORT
Customers experiencing issues with flashing lines on the screen when booting an iPhone 14 Pro should follow the following procedure to resolve the issue:
1. Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn the iPhone on
2. Close eyes
3. Count to 20
4. Open eyes
Should this not fully resolve the issue, Apple Support will be supplying a hardware fix. Users who continue to experience this issue should make an Apple Store appointment or contact Apple Support to request an "iBlindfold", a new product developed by Apple engineering. iBlindfold will initially be exclusive to iPhone 14 Pro owners at a discounted price of $9.99, but will soon be available to anyone at the regular price of $29.99.
iBlindfold is also being recommended for those users experiencing graphical glitches and poor UX design in macOS 13.
Because with the amazing power or clairvoyance you know that the iPhone 15 wont have any bugs at all hardware or software wise? I don't suppose you have the lottery numbers for the next 9 months too do you?
Well... since Apple can't deliver iPhone 14 PROs at the moment (orders from November are likely going to be delivered in Jan only) there won't be too many people impacted by this anyway.
if apple support says it exists and it will be addressed, why is this a big deal that deserves any more attention like this comment I just posted?
There is a WORLD of difference between a cosmetic issue that occurs only on boot, and has zero affect on operations - versus something that affects reception on the phone if you hold it wrong. This is a non-issue, they'll fix it when they fix it and until then, it causes no one any problems.
Instead, I have other graphics problems with the iPhone 14 Pro max. It happens that notifications are square, and only after a while they become rounded on the corners. Have any of you experienced this too?
You know you could always take your own advice and ignore such comments.....
Yeah I’m sure a redesign and completely new port will be without issues🤣 Good luck.
Blast from the past for sure, remember the first ever "transportable" computer, Remember the Osborne 01?
I had one ( dad did )HAHA. CP/M operating system.
