Some iPhone 18 Pro users are reporting green or pink lines appearing on their displays, according to PhoneArena and NDTV. NDTV said videos purporting to show the issue have circulated, with some users linking it to Samsung, though the cause has not been established.

Separately, 9to5Mac reported that a Face ID bug is causing crashes and reboots for some users. Both 9to5Mac and MacRumors said Apple’s iOS 27.0.1 update is expected soon, but the reports did not establish whether it will address either issue.
