When I am in certain applications, mainly shopping apps, I sometimes get these white horizontal lines appearing whilst scrolling up and down. I have attached a video of the issue. I have taken it to Apple and they completely replaced the screen but I am still getting this issue. Has anyone else had this problem?

in that video it seems a bit "stutter" choppy, but no white lines I can see, what did apple say?

Thanks for the responses, for some reason on the version of the video I uploaded they aren’t that visible. But I’m my camera roll they appear clearly, I showed the same video to 2 Apple employees and they both concluded it would be a display backlight issue, after changing the display it’s still there. Maybe a software issue? I know iOS 16 has had quite a buggy launch.

It's an oled screen not a lcd, there is no backlight. Each individual pixil operates independently... As I stated if it's only happening on specific 3rd party apps it's an app issue not hardware.. Contact the developer of the apps effected

I came here to say I have this same problem on my 14 pro max when scrolling on Tweetbot and Amazon especially. I’ve noticed anything that interweaves- like this sweater or the sonos speakers I first saw it on is the main thing that throws this off. It’s tons on horizontal white lines. Super annoying on a $1700 phone lol. It’s not visible on my wife’s 13 pro max.
