Apple iPhone X display showing green line of death to hardware defect: Report

One of the iPhone X owners has reported that Apple exchanged the faulty unit, meaning Apple certainly knows the issue. This also indicates that the problem cannot be solved through a software update.

Flaws like these are increasingly becoming common with recently launched flagship smartphones. Since the availability of the Pixel 2 XL, Google’s premium smartphone has faced a number of issues with the display. And earlier last month, iPhone 8’s battery swelling issue was widely reported.

Apple acknowledge the issue by releasing a statement. Last year, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 was in the center of storm due to explosive batteries. Not only did the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco cost the company billions of dollars, it badly tarnished Samsung’s reputation.
