Part 1. Why Is There a Pink Line on My iPhone?

In order to fix the pink lines on the iPhone screen more effectively, you should find out what exactly causes the pink lines on your iPhone. After collecting feedback from Apple users, we have analyzed the following causes.

Cause 1. Outdated Software

If you haven't updated your iPhone's software in a while, outdated iOS versions or apps may cause system glitches that result in pink lines on the screen. Regular updates can help resolve these issues and improve display performance.

Cause 2. iOS Problems

Bugs or glitches in the iOS system can interfere with the phone's display, often causing visible issues like pink lines. These bugs can be fixed by updating your iPhone's software or performing a reset to restore normal function.

Cause 3. GPU or Hardware Issues

When the GPU (graphics processing unit) associated with the phone's graphics becomes abnormal, it can cause display issues, such as pink lines. This problem is typically related to hardware malfunction or internal damage affecting visual output.

Cause 4. External Damages

Dropping your iPhone or exposing it to hard impacts can cause physical damage to the screen, resulting in pink lines. Similarly, exposure to water or humidity can damage internal components, affecting the display and causing visual defects like pink lines if moisture reaches the circuitry.
