Do I need to change the screen if there is a green line running down the middle?

I dropped my iPhone X last night and while it shows no damage other than a very small dent close to the charging port, there is a green line running down the middle of the phone. Facial recognition, touchscreen, camera... all capabilities are still functional

Perform a hard reset and if the problem persists you’re likely going to need to have the phone serviced.

Welcome to iMore

Sorry to hear about the drop.

It will function for a short time but the screen might need to be changed out. Have An Apple Store near you do a diagnosis on it first to make sure it’s only the screen. Sounded like a nasty fall

If you have Apple Care +, consider taking the device to the nearest Apple Store and have them diagnose the issue.
