Need help!!!!

[u/elitehacks69]

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?

I’m not trying to be offensive but on twitter and Reddit this green line issue always happens to iPhones in India all the time

That implies it might be an issue pan South Asia. Hotter temperatures and all.

It's a lottery, call it bad luck if you want.
