Pink line on iPhone 14 Pro screen

Hi, does anyone know why there’s a pink line on my screen? I’m using an iPhone 14 Pro.

A vertical pink line on an iPhone 14 Pro screen indicates a hardware issue with the OLED display panel or its internal flex cable connection. This symptom occurs when a specific column of pixels in the display matrix loses proper contact or sustains physical damage. It cannot be resolved through software adjustments.

To confirm that this is a hardware failure rather than a temporary software glitch, you can perform a force restart:

  1. Press and quickly release the Volume Up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button.
  3. Press and hold the Top Power button until the Apple logo appears.

If the pink line remains visible on the screen while the white Apple logo is booting up, the issue is definitively a hardware fault. The entire display assembly will need to be replaced to resolve the problem.

If the device has no signs of physical impact, accidental drops, or liquid exposure, it may be evaluated for an isolated component defect. You should schedule an appointment at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider to have a technician inspect the phone and provide repair options.

To help determine your next steps, please let me know:

  • Is your iPhone 14 Pro currently covered under AppleCare+ or a consumer warranty?
  • Did the line appear immediately after a drop or exposure to moisture?


Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


There appears to be a problem with the internal display panel. Only a certified Apple technician can determine the cause and offer a complete solution.


Therefore, I recommend service.
