iPhone 14 Pro, Pro Max users are facing screen glitches
A dozen of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max users, on Reddit, have reported sporadic screen glitches on their devices. According to them, the issue arises without any apparent cause, and one or more green and yellow lines flash across the screen on wakeup. However, the lines fade away after a while. The users assert that the issue started after the iOS 16.2 upgrade.
Why does this story matter?
Green screens, glitches, and dead pixels have been troubling users for a long time. Whenever a new update comes out, several individuals are noticed reporting these issues. The companies then patch the flaws with a subsequent update. Following the release of iOS 16, many users reported display issues with their iPhone 14 Pro. With iOS 16.2, it appears to be a somewhat similar situation.
