iOS 16 horizontal line issue has been around for weeks
Last month, some iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users reported that green and yellow thin horizontal lines appeared on the screen when the screen was turned on or locked. This line is not constant on the display, it disappears after a few seconds. After an investigation, Apple said the issue was not a hardware defect, but a pure software issue. The company now has a fix that takes care of this issue.
In addition to fixing the horizontal green or yellow line defect, there are reports that iOS 16.3 also includes some new features. Some of the new features include the option to use a physical security key as a two-factor authentication for an Apple ID account. This will provide a wider global advanced data protection for iCloud encryption. It will also support the new second gen. Apple HomePod as well as theĀ new Unity wallpaper.
