Summary
Multiple iPhone 18 Pro owners reported green and pink vertical lines on their displays within a week of the Sept. 18 launch, a problem resets did not remove.
The lines point to a likely hardware fault in a subset of display panels, making the issue different from launch bugs Apple addressed with software.
iOS 27.0.1, released Sept. 28, fixed three other problems: Face ID-related reboots, a 2x photo color artifact and a touchscreen freeze tied to Notification Center and Control Center.
Apple had not publicly commented on the screen-line issue as of Sept. 29, leaving affected buyers of the $1,199 phone facing a problem a software update may not solve.
