These are the most common failures of the iPhone X

 

And since they are not few, we are going to make a list of those that have been reproduced the most so far, unfortunately not even this fantastic phone is going to be able to escape from this type of unpleasant mass-manufacturing consequences, although as long as units that do not pass quality control or are missing the operating system (as has been happening so far with the Google Pixel) we can be satisfied.

Green line on the side of the screen

It is clear that the iPhone X screen is extremely delicate, in fact the vast majority of the errors that are being found so far in the phone end up affecting this component. An example is that some users are appearing as out of the blue and without previous accidents is a green line appearing on the entire side of the screen, a rather intense and annoying green. To get to this problem, it has not been reported that it has gotten wet, beaten or anything like that, they seem to be the result of nothing, although this type of error usually occurs when connection failures are known as flex cables that connect the components to the motherboard.

This failure affects the 64 GB iPhone X and the 256 GB units indistinctly, and they are not limited to runs either, since it has been reported in different places around the globe. It is nothing new, in fact it is common in OLED screens and it has already happened to many units of the Samsung Galaxy S7, although it was shown in another color. Obviously Apple is giving replacement units instantly to those who suffer from this malady.

GPS is inaccurate

A large number of users are reporting that GPS is extremely inaccurate In any circumstance, both with regard to the official Apple application and using third-party browsers, the location point places you in unlikely places and does not follow the path correctly, Apple has not yet ruled on the matter, but this GPS imprecision is precisely one of the errors that is affecting a greater number of iPhone X users. It could be due to the implementation of new telecommunications chips that have been unified and miniaturized to the extreme. Be that as it may, we do not rule out that it will be solved in future updates, neither has Apple's SAT offered any kind of solution to the issue.

Bubbles under the screen

Another problem that has spread like foam on forums like Reddit it is precisely that many users are seeing how your phone starts to show some strange bubbles under the screen, right between the glass and the OLED panel. As if air had entered, something that those who use tempered glass or normal silicone protectors will have observed on more than one occasion. Although most of those who suffer from this problem indicate that the problem appears on the sides of the screen, there are also those who have found it in the entire center of the OLED panel that mounts the iPhone X.

Users have indicated that we can generally make these bubbles disappear by exerting pressure on it (although they usually return a while later). However, this failure can hide a higher problem, the lack of sealing that makes the iPhone vulnerable to water. If you find this fault in your iPhone X, the ideal is that you put it in the hands of the SAT to make sure that it works correctly.

The screen does not work in cold weather

Incredible but true, until now we had talked at length about the problems that can occur in the event that you subject your phone to extreme heat temperatures, for example we have been able to see in the Apple Store itself how their devices are roasted. What is not so common is that a phone stops responding when it is a bit cold. That's what happens to the iPhone X, when subjected to cold, not extreme temperatures, the touch panel on the screen becomes unresponsive until the iPhone enters a more intermediate temperature.

Something totally implausible but that is not a replacement for the terminal either. Apple has promised to fix this problem using software in a future update., something that leaves us totally perplexed, since it seems to be due more to hardware issues. Be that as it may, we remain alert to this curious event.

Loss of oil-repellent coating on the screen

As many users are realizing that their iPhone Xs are not that good at resisting fingerprints. This failure is generally due to the use we give it, who tend to clean glass with abrasive substances As a window cleaner, they should take into account that generally this type of method ends up making the oleophobic layer disappear.

However, it is not the first time that Apple has problems with this type of material, in the case of the MacBook Pro between 2012 and 2014 there were already serious losses of this type of material over time, although Everything indicates that the material used in the iPhone X is not exactly of the same quality as in other units.
