The bar is there to let people know you can swipe down on that side when the phone is on the lock screen.
Got a tip for us?

Why wouldn’t it...? A screen shot shows what’s on the screen. His screen’s status bar elements don’t line up, so certainly a picture of it would show that.

OP’s are definitely not lined up. Look at the pics I (and others) have posted in this thread. Bottoms are supposed to line up perfectly.

There must be sometime causing it, as multiple people in this thread have said their Max lines up perfectly.
I wonder if it’s a particular app, or API, or maybe even rotating the screen to landscape and back, which causes the bug. But I don’t have a Max so I can’t test any of this.

Looks lined up to me at least with the status side.

It’s not about whether people would notice it or not. Steve Jobs wants all parts of Apple products to be great, even the inside where nobody would see it.
I’m guessing some misalignment in the UI scaling? Hopefully Apple fixes this.
The icons fluctuate to prevent burn in from the static icons. One of the things apple has done throughout iOS to prevent burn in. Can’t believe y’all don’t know this...smh
Yea it’s so obvious even a caveman knows it
But seriously that makes sense, looks like the mystery is solved now.
No. They have never moved on my X. And there wouldn’t be burn-in, because they reset (or even change colors) every time you switch apps. Not only that, it’s just not a thing.
My phone is an XS Max.
It is not an X.
It is not an XS.
It is an XS Max with a 6.5” screen.
(This is the same phone that you have)
My battery, WiFi, and time indicators are perfectly level. ON MY XS MAX.
M. A. X.
The max, not the X or the XS,
(It’s the bigger model with a bigger screen.)
And level symbols (in my case), as I have shown.
Oh yeah I got that. Just clarifying.
Plus thread was begging for a link to the spirit level App.
It's something very minimum which can be neglected easily. I had to look at it hard to see the flaw. Sorry what do you mean by this: however the forum does not have an XS / Xs Max option yet.
The tag at the start of the thread title. "[iPhone X] Xs Max: Argue about...."
The tag (which says [iPhone X]) should say [iPhone Xs Max], but that is apparently not yet an option when starting a new thread.
Of course not, but I very consistently notice that they’re lined up. I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to symmetry, and always easily notice when things are off. It’s one of my quirks at work.
They have code since iOS 11 to help prevent burn in. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-x-oled-burn-in-mitigation,news-25813.html
Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for the clarification. Forum should have that tag by now. Probably moderaters didn’t like their Xs’s.
The issue happens only in the 3rd party apps, not the apple developed apps coming with iOS.
