The Display Issue:
Many users reported facing iPhone 11 Pro & iPhone 11 Pro Max touch screen issues. The problem is mainly described as the touch screen being heavy to use and lags when it comes to responding to the users' touch. One user on the MacRumors site also said that his iPhone 11 Pro's screen is washed out in a green-ish tint when he tries to unlock the iPhone and this lasts for a few seconds before his able to unlock the iPhone & use it normally. The MacRumors user said that this problem happens for about 25% of the times when he tries to unlock his iPhone11 Pro. In addition to this being a high percentage to have this issue appear repeatedly, the same or similar issue were reported by several other users and was initially thought to be caused by the OLED panel that Apple used in the iPhone 11 Pro.

Suggested solution: While in some cases the Apple iPhone users believed the problem to be caused by the OLED panel, a simple iOS upgrade to iOS 14 took care of the issue and it went away. For others however, the problem of the green tinted screen persisted. Those who managed to take a screenshot of the green tint on their screen while it lasted for 2-3 seconds, found the screen shots to be looking normal with no tint. This meant that the problem indeed was in the hardware of the screen panel itself. To solve this problem, Apple provided free screen replacements for iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max with touch screen issues.
The charging issue:
