Every smartphone has issues, even Apple’s $1,000 iPhone X. Here’s a list of the iPhone X problems, and how to fix them.
The iPhone X is completely different from any of its predecessors. It’s the first iPhone to boast a stunning OLED screen, as well as the first to do away the iconic home button.
But like any smartphone, there are always a few issues that crop up. We’ve compiled a list of iPhone X problems, after scouring through support threads and forums, and we also have fixes and workarounds to make sure your new iPhone keeps working perfectly.
Shortly after the release of iPhone X, Apple released a statement about OLED display used in the phone. The company noted that over time, “image persistence” or “burn-in” could appear on the phones.
Burn-in occurs when a static image on a screen that’s on for a while gets burned into the display permanently. For example, if you leave your iPhone X screen on for quite a while, the icon of an app may get burned into the screen, so much so that you can see its faint outline when watching a video.
It seems like Apple is being proactive here and warning users that burn-in could occur on the iPhone X in the future, as OLED screens are often prone to the problem.
Workaround:
A number of users on Reddit have reported that the iPhone X stops working when they are in cold temperatures. The problem typically only lasts a few seconds though some users have experienced a longer freeze-up. Luckily, Apple is aware of the problem and is working on a software update that should address the issue.
Workaround:
Apple Insider reports a small number of iPhone X users see a persistent green line on the left or right side of the screen. People who have experienced the issue say the line does not appear when you first turn on the phone, but after using it. Samsung, the manufacturer of the iPhone X display, had a similar problem with the Samsung Galaxy S7, leading people to believe this may be a hardware problem.
