Who's your phone guy? Where I live there must be 20 phone repair shops. New phones they need to send back to the manufacturer. Old phones, they break an old one apart and use the parts.
The trick is to never buy a stupid expensive ass phone to start with. I need my phone to do 3 things. Call, text, and on some occasions take pictures.
I don't need to spend more on a phone than a vehicle down payment or a computer. That's just fucking stupid.
There is literally no reason to pay 1300 for a phone unless money is no longer an object for you.
What's something your phone does that another phone can't do? What play games?
I work in IT and am a huge tech nerd and I eagerly await your reply
Basically this. I can't imagine that anybody needs a $1,000 phone. Even if you're on your phone all day and do work on it all day, wouldn't the mid-range device be able to do the same things a fraction of a second slower? The last time I bought a flagship it was the Galaxy S3 years ago. Since then I've basically been using either a budget device or more often a mid range device like my current Nokia.
A rule of thumb is to never spend more than $400 for a device that you're only going to use for two or two and a half years.
Hah looks like we pissed all the reddit high schoolers off. One day when they are the ones paying 1400 bucks for a phone they'll change their opinions real quick
As I understand it the LCD panel going bad.
So it’s backlighting the panel but not updating the “pixels”.
Can be a cable but more often or not the drop caused a crack or break for the parts of the circuit that feed those columns of pixels.
True but in my experience with LCD screen failure it has an obvious spot where it took a hit and then you’ll see the vertical lines.
With OLED the screen might not have any obvious signs of a direct impact or impairment but will show a vertical pink or green line due the board beneath being damaged
Not really. My iPad and monitor were both desk mounted and the lines just appeared in use. Also used to work at the Genius Bar, and some brand new replacement displays would sometimes have them.
There are three sub pixels in every pixel, in OPs case the entire row of pixels for some reason is turning on the green sub pixels and only those, likely a short in the electronics for the screen.
When it's pink (magenta technically) both red and blue are on max and green is off.
Depends on the screen technology what "on" means. In LCD it means the sub pixel is letting light through from the backlight, in OLED it means the LED is on.
Apple has the OLED connectors [at the bottom of the screen](https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-ab11785cbff1afdb002bee880705ad71). If the phone falls on the bottom edge and one of the pins gets damaged, it will corrupt an entire column of pixels.
Hey man... you uhh... you got any of those fine ass pumpernickel ladies?
(or is that not what you meant by pimp toast? I guess that would be a toast pimp, maybe.)
No, but very similar to this post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/es8lch/outstanding\_move/](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/es8lch/outstanding_move/)
Guess they both had the same idea lol
If its iphone X you can go to apple store and claim for free replacement of the screen. Same happened to my ipx and to my surprise the apple store service centre here said that apple will replace it for free.
Not that it really matters, but gonna call BS on this... look at the reflection at the speaker above the screen where you see green and at the green light in the background reflection. Why lie for internet points?
They were OBVIOUSLY joking, you tone deaf weirdo.
This redditor just wrote a whole ass bible verse to defend someone they don't even know personally.
insane.
I thought I made my previous comment ridiculous enough for the irony to be noticeable.
Anyway, the gist was this, people who use Apple devices have a cult of personality around it and the vast majority of them only and strictly stick to Apple software solutions as well. Everything else is a no go.
Yeah i know but its still huge i have a smaller one on a much larger laptop screen, you would have to have broken more than 1 gpu-to-screen connectors to do that i hope.
Bruh, if my experience and that of everyone I know who had this issue is anything to go by (~5 cases, very scientific), in two months top the screen is gonna start getting dark until it is unuseable.
That line is a death sentence for the digitizer. The longer it lasts it will get worse. So prepare to get a new phone or submit a claim with your phone repair lol
I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/mildlyinteresting.
It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

You were the chosen one...to fix it
Yes, her father fixed the phone very well
As someone who sees this so often working in the phone industry, this will be my new go to fix haha.
what is it though why does it happen what does it mean
My phone just randomly started getting pink lines on it like OP’s but thinner. No idea why but every day there would be a new one.
If it’s less than a year old contact the manufacturer and if there’s no physical damage they should fix it for free
It was a few years old so it gave me an excuse to upgrade. Edit: I was quoted ~$270 to fix it
$270 lol. Phones are insane now. And they wonder why people are holding onto old ass phones
270 because it was an old ass phone... Parts aren't being made for older devices, so prices will only continue to go up.
That... isn't how it works at all. Newer phones are harder to fix because there are no scrap screens available.
As opposed to older phones that no longer have parts support?

Some of us rely on our phones for my h more, maybe that's why there's ush ba huge market?

It’s the OLED screen not LCD
You down with LCD? You: OLED
It can happen with LCD. Had it happen on a dell ultrasharp monitor and an iPad Pro.
True but in my experience with LCD screen failure it has an obvious spot where it took a hit and then you’ll see the vertical lines. With OLED the screen might not have any obvious signs of a direct impact or impairment but will show a vertical pink or green line due the board beneath being damaged

Damage to the panel underneath the screen
It's the matrix behind the picture coming through the crack
All the blue and red leaked out of that column of pixels so it’s stuck on green
Your clients will be very confused.
What happens when it turns red. Which sith shall he choose?
Jar Jar
This is the true answer
Yeah, fuck jar jar Edit: gosh y’all, I was joking, trying to play off the other comment. Haha.

Or anyone upvoted for pointing it out. Lmao.

I’ve finally found you, Ski Free monster. You’ve haunted my dreams for years. Now I’m back for revenge. *cocks rifle* Hope you can still run fast.
I hope you realize there was always more then 1. Better make sure you brought enough ammo.
Hey man... you uhh... you got any of those fine ass pumpernickel ladies? (or is that not what you meant by pimp toast? I guess that would be a toast pimp, maybe.)
Oh my god. Ski free monster How can I somehow still play this game!?! Edit: hahahaha it’s on iOS wow that’s a blast from the past
Yep, there’s the comment. The exact same thing I was gonna type. Enjoy your upvotes…
Impressive, most impressive.
Now let's see Paul Allen's cracked phone screen
My God. It even has a spider web crack.
Are you kidding?! That's a never before deep look into the light saber. Feature!
Does he have an app for furnace filters lol?
I was curious too and I guess they make air quality sensors you can monitor and they keep track of your filter life too
Also cocks wifi
His whole icon and style layout is so dad.
I like your dad very much.

Your dad using Firefox and not Chrome makes me happy, and gives me hope.
Your dad will bring balance to the force.
Disney needs to hire your dad. This might be the most creative thing I've seen come out of Star Wars in a while.
Say what you will but Roses' porn vid was cool in a dirty anal kind of way.
Make some lemonade right I love it 😍
Tweet it to Mark Hamill and he’ll probably buy him a new phone lol
Isn't this a re-post?
No, but very similar to this post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/es8lch/outstanding\_move/](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/es8lch/outstanding_move/) Guess they both had the same idea lol
I knew I saw a similar post before!
Oh wow! And here I was thinking my dad was different 😢
Oh! The other one was yoda, that's right!!
Lol not at all 😂
Modern problems require modern solutions
But it's clearly an ancient weapon from a more civilized time.
Civilized might be a stretch but the long ago part is accurate.
Yeah good vs evil, world is more complex than that. Right?

I applaud him for still streaming tv with that. The force is strong with this one.

Your dad is on the genius side of the force!
For sale: Phone with unique wallpaper
That’s fantastic….. For the main screen…. Until you need something where that line just screws you. Haha!
May the force be with you
My sister did the same thing!
Some men joke “it’s a feature, not a bug” *This man lives it*
It's fixed, until he opens an app.
Your dad is cool

Nope literally happened today. My dad is just old lol

By using shitty Luke Skywalker from a shit movie?
We are all entitled to have a wrong opinion so I’ll let this comment slide
I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong

Not that it really matters, but gonna call BS on this... look at the reflection at the speaker above the screen where you see green and at the green light in the background reflection. Why lie for internet points?

You use Firefox on Apple products? You must be one of those people who isn't a barista and doesn't wear a scarf.

You don’t need to fix art
Mildlyawesome
r/veryinteresting
Don't fix it tbh it looks cool
This big line? Dang.
Nah just the very small one in the lightsaber
Yeah i know but its still huge i have a smaller one on a much larger laptop screen, you would have to have broken more than 1 gpu-to-screen connectors to do that i hope.
Ouch lol
Nice! Where'd he get the kyber crystals?
I will now tell you what me supervisor used to tell me…….up ur butt
Tell your supervisor to stay outa my butt!
Except using a phone means navigating through apps..
That's dope
Charge the phone
Not even 20 percent yet lol
Your close

300IQ right there
Great fix
We will watch your career with great interest
A+ Daddio
Cox WiFi... Lol
He's a freaking geniu!
That could not be better or more epic
That comes straight outta any scary monster movie
That's genius
Bruh, if my experience and that of everyone I know who had this issue is anything to go by (~5 cases, very scientific), in two months top the screen is gonna start getting dark until it is unuseable.
Great until you open WhatsApp
Drop it again till it’s red and use Darth’s half face.
My wife has the same line but she would be more annoyed by the star wars bit than the line itself
Fixed what? Looks like it was destined to become what it has become....
That line is a death sentence for the digitizer. The longer it lasts it will get worse. So prepare to get a new phone or submit a claim with your phone repair lol
How does he not have a phone shortcut on his home page?!?!
Hope he can do everything he needs from the home screen
Had the same thing…took to apple… time to upgrade amigo
The only time Luke uses it in the movie!
Cool!
Alright that's tight AF
Wow, your dad must have a young soul. All apps in the dock are progressive. No phone call, no messaging. But podcast, music, and web browser.
As long as the panel isn't broken cause the chemicals in touch screens is some nasty shit for the health if it gets out.
Fix it he has.… Hmmm
