Stunning OLED screen was big-time addition to Apple iPhone X giving away the iconic home button. Though shortly after releasing the iPhone X, Apple released a statement mentioning issues like “Image Persistence” in OLED display.
Here “image persistence” or “burn-in” could occur on your Apple device with static images (for example App icons). Technically, the static images may get burned into the display permanently. It could happen when you leave your device screen display ON for long period of time.
To fix this iPhone X problem, keep the auto lock time shorter. To do this, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto Lock. You should also reduce the screen brightness to deal with this issue by pulling up the Control Center from the upper right of the screen and adjusting it.

3. iPhone X not working in cold temperature
As reports suggest, iPhone X may not work well below 0-degree temperature or above 35-degree temperature. Though the problem lasts for few seconds or more, here you can fix the issue quickly by locking/unlocking the screen multiple times. In addition to that, you could also try restarting your device.
4. Green line appearing on screen

5. iPhone X 3D Touch Problem

6. Crackling speakers at high volume
This is another iPhone X problem that has affected many users globally. Here, if simple restart doesn’t work then you may also need to hard reset your device (as mentioned above).

Further also check if iPhone X’s receiver isn’t blocked due to screen protector etc. (Receiver is a small slit located near the front-facing camera).
7. iPhone X Live Photo Problem
If you are facing distortion in Live Photo and videos captured from your device then it is possible that you have missed iOS 11.1.2 upgrade. To fix the issue, simply upgrade to iOS 11.2.1 version now.

Conclusion
Similar to any other smartphone device, iPhone X wasn’t free of glitches and some common problems. Despite putting best of the efforts to bring revolution to iPhone series, Apple could not satisfy users completely with its iPhone X device.
