iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max Users Complain About Horizontal lines on Display: Report

iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users are complaining about horizontal lines appearing on display after powering on their devices. As per user reports on Reddit and Apple’s community forum, a considerable number of users are finding green and yellow lines flashing across their iPhone screen when the device is being turned on. A few users say that Apple has clarified that the problem with flashing lines is not a hardware issue. Instead, Apple reportedly said that it is an iOS bug. Some iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users claim that the issue started with iOS 16.2, while others state that it was present in older iOS 16 versions.

Some iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users took to Reddit and Apple community forum to complain that their devices are showing horizontal lines across the screen when waking up from sleep or starting up. As per a Redditor, the colours and numbers of the horizontal lines vary, however, green and yellow lines are the most common. Some users claim that the glitch doesn’t happen every time. Another user says the lines had disappeared after a second.

The issue is said to have started following the iOS 16.2 update, while others claim that they have seen flashing lines on the screen in previous iOS 16 builds.

Some Reddit users say that they have taken their higher-end models of the iPhone 14 series to the Apple store and have been told that the issue is not a result of a hardware fault but is a bug in iOS. Few claim that the issue persisted after booting their smartphones and updating the device to iOS 16.2.

Apple is aware of the ongoing issue. The company’s Support team earlier this week tweeted asking affected users for more details about the problem and what version of iOS their devices are running.

Affected users have also checked for a workaround to fix the problem from their end. Some say that turning off the Always On Display feature has helped them to resolve this issue. Some iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users have reported that resetting the device also works.

A user who goes by the name Cab1X, citing an Apple engineer, claims that the problem will be addressed in an upcoming iOS 16.2.1 update. Gadgets 360 has also reached out to Apple for a comment on the matter and will update this story when the company responds.

Last week, the Cupertino giant released the iOS 16.2 update with Apple Music Sing feature, Freeform collaboration app, and Apple’s Advanced Data Protection. The update also enables 5G network support on compatible iPhones for users in India.

Apple launched the iPad Pro (2022) and the iPad (2022) alongside the new Apple TV this week.

Apple Has Fixed iPhone 14 Series iMessage, FaceTime Issues in Latest iOS 16 Update: All Details

Apple has revealed that iMessage and FaceTime might not work properly on the recently launched iPhone 14 series due to some bugs. The Cupertino tech giant has said that the issues have been fixed in the latest version of iOS 16, and thus recommends iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro model users to update their smartphone to the latest iOS version. According to Apple, the iPhone 14 series users might not be receiving iMessages and FaceTime calls, or see a Green bubble instead of a Blue bubble while sending a text to another Apple device.

The Cupertino-based tech giant has highlighted via a support page on its website that iMessage and FaceTime might not be working properly on the latest iPhone 14 series smartphones. According to Apple, this could be because of multiple bugs. The company has published a list of issues that the users might be facing after setting up their new smartphones.

Apple further noted that users might be facing one or more of these issues. First, iPhone 14 series users can’t receive iMessages and FaceTime calls. Second, users are seeing a Green message bubble instead of a Blue bubble while sending a message to another Apple device. Third, a single conversation might show up as two separate threads. Lastly, the person receiving the message might see a user’s message coming from a different account, according to Apple.

For example, the messages might show up as being received from a user’s email ID instead of the phone number. Apple claims that this issue has been fixed in the latest iOS 16 update. Hence, the company recommends iPhone 14 series users to immediately update to the latest available version of the operating system as soon as they are done setting up their smartphones. To update the iPhones, users should head over to Settings > General > Software Update.

The Cupertino-based company added that if iPhone 14 series users are still facing the above mentioned issue, they can go to Settings > Cellular > Select the phone number you wish to use. Make sure the phone line is turned on while following the steps. Then head over to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Select the number you want to use. For FaceTime, go to Settings > FaceTime > Select the phone number you want to use.

iPhone 14 Pro Successor Could Feature TSMC’s 3nm SoCs, May be Most Powerful Phones in 2023: Report

Apple iPhone 15 Pro models will be the most powerful handset on the market in 2023, a recent report claims. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, commonly referred to as TSMC, will soon reportedly enter mass production with their rumoured 3nm SoC. The company stated that Apple would be its main customer for the 3nm processor in 2023, as per the report. The N3E version of the mobile processor is said to be available only after Apple launches the iPhone 15 Pro models, while Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC could be the first 3nm chip to power an Android phone in 2024.

According to a report by DigiTimes, first spotted by PhoneArena, iPhone 15 Pro models will be the most powerful smartphones in 2023. The report cites TSMC’s N3E production schedule to share that Apple will be its main customer for the 3nm chips in 2023. Meanwhile, the company will reportedly deliver the new chip to other smartphone brands in 2024.

The report suggests that Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro lineup that could succeed the iPhone 14 series that is expected to launch on September 7, will be the first major smartphone lineup to feature the 3nm chips with the Apple A17 Bionic SoC.

Android smartphones could be powered by the first 3nm chip in 2024, in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, according to the report. Unlike Qualcomm, MediaTek will reportedly launch 3nm processors made by TSMC by the end of 2023. The report added that the new N3E version will not feature in smartphones before Apple unveils the iPhone 15 Pro models. The new 3nm processors are said to enter mass production soon.

Recently, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared that the iPhone 15 is expected to be mass produced in India and China at the same time in 2023. Kuo also said that the iPhone 14 series production in India is about six weeks behind schedule than China, but the gap is narrowing.

Apple is set to host the ‘Far Out’ event on September 7. The iPhone 14 series is expected to be unveiled during the launch event. The series is said to include the vanilla iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max Unified Pill-Shaped Cutout Could Display Privacy Indicators: Report

Apple iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature a single pill-shaped cut out to display privacy indicators on iOS when the camera and microphone are in use, as per a new report. Recently, a report hinted that the purported pill-shaped and hole-punch cutouts on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will appear as one when the phones are in use. The Cupertino-based company previously announced that it will be hosting the ‘Far Out’ event on September 7. During the launch event, the company is expected to unveil the new iPhone 14 series.

According to a report by 9To5Mac, which cites a source with knowledge of Apple’s plans, the single unibrow-like pill-shaped cutout on the display of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be used for displaying privacy indicators when the camera and microphone are being used.

The decision is said to enable Apple redesign the Camera app, by moving some of the controls to the top of the screen, located on either side of the unified cutout, as per the report.

On Wednesday, it was reported that the pill-shaped and hole-punch on the display of the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max would appear as one, wide pill-shaped cutout. Since, the phones are tipped to sport OLED displays, Apple could turn off the pixels located between the two cutouts.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman stated via Twitter that the one pill-shaped cutout on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Max Pro has been adopted as the separation would look odd while using the smartphones.

Apple is set to host the ‘Far Out’ event on September 7. The iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max are expected to debut during the event, which will be livestreamed from the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park.

As per a recent report, the purported iPhone 14 Max could be launched with the iPhone 14 Plus moniker. The company has reportedly opted this branding for the 6.7-inch iPhone model that is tipped to replace the iPhone mini form factor. The report added that the tech giant had asked the protective case manufacturers in July to refrain from using the iPhone 14 Max branding.
