Screen Flickers 11Pro Max

It seems like a wide spread issue among many users on MacRumors Forum. To sum up, many iPhone 11 Pro Max devices have screen flickers in photos app when Night Shift (or True Tone) and View Full HDR enabled.

Many of us had the exact same problem reproduced when getting a replaced device (iPhone 11 Pro Max) so it would seem to be a software problem. But nothing is sure for now as we're still having the problem even now at iOS 13.1.2. @Apple please release another update soon to fix this.

Hi Liam710,

Thanks for posting! I understand you're seeing some display flickering on an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

It sounds like it happens when using multiple apps. Have you tried removing any cases and screen protectors to see if that makes a difference?

Have you updated to iOS 13.1.2? How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you find the issue still occurs after updating and testing without cases/screen protectors, you might try restoring your device to factory settings to test it while set up as new. Be sure to back up first using the steps above: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings

I hope this helps get you started. Take care.

I'm getting the same issue on my iPhone 11 Pro Max in the photos app mostly, but also see it in a couple other apps here and there. I'm hoping it's a software issue. Phones at this price shouldn't have issues.

I get a quick flicker sometimes when scrolling in Safari on my 11 Pro Max. I've heard that this has something to do with a security chip?

I have the exact same thing on my MacBook Pro 2018 as well, when scrolling in Safari, especially after switching through tabs, it has a flicker line over the screen.

Although my GF doesn't experience it on hers MBP 2018 (but only 256GB vs. 512GB on mine)

Im having the same issue on my iPhone 11 pro max.. I also noticed, and hoping if it relates to this, that tapping on the screen is not as responsive as before. I notice sometimes i have to tap almost 3 times to get a response. Is everyone else experiencing this?

Don’t think it’s related. Screens don’t typically just lose responsiveness unless they become delaminated. My guess is you’re overly worried about your display and analyzing every part of it (trust me I am too). Hopefully 3.2 fixes this nasty flicker bug.

It’s possible that your eyes aren’t matching up to your hands. That brain wiring gets set in pretty quickly. When in doubt, take it to Apple, they’ll swap it out if you’re under 14 days. 1 year if it’s a hardware failure issue.

I had the same issue with my 11 pro (256gb). I exchanged it for a new one and it does the same thing. Must be softwear. However my wife has the same exact phone with same settings and both are on same IOS 13 version and she doesn't have this issue.

Hi!

I had the same issue with mine and, after having exchanged it for a new unit twice, it seems I have found a possible solution.

on the last unit, even with the same problem, I dowloaded the beta for IOS 13.2. and problem was solved!!!.

Later on after having installed the beta, i downgrade to IOS 13.1.2 and problem with the flickering screen wans’t there anymore.

so until official 13.2 realease, that coold be a solution that seems to have solved the problem.

Although my phone is iPhone 8 plus, but i faced the same issue. my phone's problem started with screen flickering and then phone started getting overheated and then the screen failed. Is your phone getting overheated as well?

I am also having same scene flickering issue in my iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 13.1.3 while using Photos app with HDR/Live photos.

The screen tries to adjust brightness when you view/zoom the photos. That is why this flickering is happening.

As a temporary solution, I turn off Auto-brightness in "Accessibility > Display..." settings then flickering stopped.

But, I prefer to keep auto-brightness on. I think Apple should fix this next iOS release.

I thought it was just me with this issue.. have you managed to find a solution? I also purchased this phone for work use and am so disappointed in the constant flickering, Apple refuse to take responsibility, today they said it is “normal behaviour” .. so this afternoon I contacted watchdog as this phone has been sold worldwide faulty, such a shame I just wondered if I’d had any luck?

Very long time ago that I needed to post something here.....but now I need help and/or suggestions boys and girls! Same issue here when playing 4K movie on my iphone 11 pro max! Very annoying flickering screen. Most probably a bug in the software? Apparently this is happening a lot and it's probably not a hardware issue. I hope it isn't, because I don't like the idea of having to exchange my phone. Please fix this issue in your next update Apple!
