An unknown number of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users report seeing green and yellow horizontal lines across their devices' displays.
It's not clear how many users are affected, but in the last ten days there have been a series of social media reports and requests for help from Apple. The company's support team is aware of the issue, but has not yet released a specific recommended fix.

Apple appears to believe that it's likely a software issue. Users on Reddit have been told this by Apple support, but restarting the iPhone and updating iOS does not appear to help.
The lines do disappear once the iPhone has completed starting up, however.
This apparent software issue comes after a combined hardware and software issue that saw blurry and shaking video footage in third-party camera apps.
