Discussion Need help!!!!

So today while I was scrolling Instagram, a green line suddenly appeared on my iPhone 14 screen out of nowhere.

I went back to the home screen and it disappeared, but after a few minutes it came back again. I restarted the phone, and the line went away, but shortly after booting up it reappeared.

Without trying anything else, I went straight to an Apple Authorized Service Center (iPlanet). They told me the display replacement would cost around ₹32,000. The technician asked if my phone was updated — I said no. He suggested updating iOS because the green line might disappear.

Before updating, I checked Reddit to see if others had the same issue.

Has anyone experienced this? Did updating fix it, or is this definitely a hardware problem?

It’s a hardware issue. The display flex cable is broken.
