What are your thoughts on smartphone firmware updates in light of the mysterious vertical lines on smartphone screens after a firmware update?

I stumbled upon an intriguing news article yesterday that got me thinking about whether to avoid updating smartphone firmware.

​

The article highlighted an issue where hundreds of users in Singapore reported mysterious vertical lines on their smartphone screens after a software update. Now, I'm grappling with the decision of whether to hit that "Update Now" button or not

1. Potential for Vertical Lines on OLED Screens: The article suggested that there's a possibility of vertical lines forming on OLED screens post-firmware update. OLED displays are used by various smartphone brands, and the fact that Samsung is a major OLED display supplier to companies like Apple, Oppo, and OnePlus has me concerned.
2. Universality Across Phone Brands: Given that Samsung provides OLED displays to multiple phone brands, this issue might not be limited to one specific manufacturer. It raises the question: Could this happen to any phone after a firmware update?
3. Free Screen Replacement for Samsung Users: On the brighter side, Samsung phone users experiencing screen issues can reportedly get a free screen replacement. However, there's a catch—the labour fee for this service is around $50 or more.

What are your thoughts on smartphone firmware updates in light of these concerns? Have you faced similar issues, or do you think it's a risk worth taking for the sake of keeping our devices up-to-date?
