Apple released iOS 27.0.1 on September 28 with three listed fixes, but none addresses the green and pink vertical lines reported on some iPhone 18 Pro-series displays. Some reports say the lines persisted after a full reset; their cause and scale remain unconfirmed.

What owners have reported

A news segment summarizes reports of colored display lines alongside separate Face ID, restart and touchscreen complaints

Reports describe green and pink vertical lines on some iPhone 18 Pro-series screens. In some reported cases, a full reset did not clear the lines. A hardware fault has been suggested as a possibility, but the cause has not been confirmed.

What iOS 27.0.1 fixes

Apple’s update lists three repairs:

  • Restarts triggered by Face ID failures on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
  • A color artifact in some 2x photos under certain lighting at f/1.48 on a small number of those models. This concerns captured photos, not a colored line on the display.
  • An unresponsive touchscreen caused by opening Notification Center and Control Center at the same time.
