Apple could release an update for the iPhone 14 Pro that will fix a reported problem of horizontal lines on the smartphone. Some iPhone 14 Pro/ Pro Max users had reported horizontal lines that appear on their screens on startup. The lines appear randomly and disappear after a few seconds. These horizontal lines also appear when the iPhone is waking up and this was widely reported.

Apple claims that the problem is not a hardware issue but an iOS bug. Some users have reported taking their smartphones to Apple Stores for the resolution of the problem. There is also speculation that the bug is tied to iOS 16.2. However, it was also speculated that the problem extends to the previous iOS builds.

An Apple Support Representative reported on Reddit, Apple is aware of the problem and it will be resolved soon with an upcoming update. Part of the official Apple statement said that the issue was due to the drivers and it was not a hardware issue.

While the horizontal lines problem is not very prevalent, it creates concern for users. Some users have suggested some ways to get over the problem. Multiple users have reported on Reddit that turning off the AOD will resolve the problem. Another suggestion is to turn off the phone manually and reset the device. These suggestions are at best, stop-gap measures and a bug fix via an update remains the surest solution.

Apple is expected to provide more information on the issue and subsequently release the software update to fix the bug. It is unclear whether the horizontal lines issue is specific to Apple smartphone users in a particular region. If that is the case, then the update may be specific to the affected regions.
