Some iPhone X Displays Plagued By Mysterious 'Green Line of Death' (thenextweb.com)

Some iPhone X owners are reporting a random green line appearing on their displays. According to The Next Web, "the defect has already started to take on the endearing 'Green Line of Death' moniker." From the report: Several users across Apple forums and social media have reported the error -- I've counted over a dozen accounts, and MacRumors mentions it's read "at least 25" such reports. Oddly, the issue doesn't appear to affect users immediately, only showing up after some time with regular usage. In some cases it alternates with a purple line, for variety. It generally appears towards the right or left sides of the display, and sometimes it simply disappears altogether. Weird. Either way, it appears to be a hardware defect affecting a small number of users, and Apple appears to be replacing affected units. Mac Rumors first reported the issue.

That's how it's supposed to be.

You're just looking at it the wrong way!

Well, sure

Green line of death, but only because the Slashdot effect was already taken.

It should be named something like "Minus 5 Green Line of Obscured Vision".

It’s just a thin line, jeez.

I agree, these allegations about faulty iPhone X displays, if true, could be bad. But I heard that the sites reporting on this once used Microsoft computers, so it's probably #fakenews. It's a shame that product flaws are being ginned up by SJWs to try to smear a righteous and godly company like Apple.

Nothing to be alarmed about
