iPhone 18 Pro Users Report Display, Face ID, and Camera Issues
After the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max launch, users reported green or pink display lines, a Face ID bug, and variable aperture lens problems. The lens issue appears to involve a six-blade mechanism being affected by magnets that pull the blade and close the main camera sensor. In India, the iPhone 18 Pro starts at Rs 1,64,900 and the Pro Max at Rs 1,79,900.
After the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max became available, Apple shipped units and released iOS 27. Buyers then began reporting three main concerns. Some saw green or pink streaks on the screen. Others described a Face ID fault that could freeze or restart the phone.
A camera issue involved the variable aperture’s six-blade design, with magnets—including those in third-party MagSafe accessories—potentially pulling a blade shut over the main sensor. In India, the Pro starts at Rs 1,64,900 and the Pro Max at Rs 1,79,900.
Early buyers and premium smartphone shoppers in India may encounter inconvenience, returns, or service visits if these reports continue. Apple could face added support and reputational pressure, while accessory makers may need to consider magnetic compatibility. The reports may also lead some consumers to postpone purchases or wait for software or hardware fixes, though the actual scale remains unclear.
