IPhone 12 Pro Max flashing a teal blue color?

So I’ve had my phone for about 2 weeks now and occasionally, when I’m on an app or something, every white part of the app turns a neon blue. I thought it was the apps fault but I’ve been seeing it across all apps that I use and also the notes app. When this happens, the battery, time, wifi, and everything else in the top bar turns teal as well. I tried to take a screenshot but I think it’s an issue with something else because the teal color doesn’t show up in the screenshot. I don’t know if that makes sense. The keyboard and everything turns into a bright teal/neon blue color for about 30 seconds. This has happened 8 times.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

i went to the store where i bought this "expensive" phone (we dont have applestore here), they told me to update ios (seems like they dont want to give replacement) , and untill today 29 january 2021, this blinking thing still happens.


this problem first arose at ios 14.2 , then i update to ios 14.3 as told, this problem still appears, 2 days ago i update to ios 14.4 and it is getting worse. i hope apple has solution for this and i believe this is not software problem, this is the screen fault

My phone just flashed the teal color on my home screen. I thought I had accidentally made the phone go into high contrast mode or something. I was tapping the back of the phone thinking I accidentally turned on that setting where tapping the back of the phone toggles on a setting but it wasn’t that. Next I tried going into settings to see if high contrast mode got turned on somehow, but by the time the settings screen came up the teal color turned back to white, and I went back to the home screen and everything was normal. iPhone 12 Pro Max here on iOS 14.4.

I just experienced this today 04/22/2021 as well. I thought I was on a wrong website or I accidentally clicked on a bad web link. Currently on 14.4.2. I will be resetting my phone to default and restoring it from iTunes. I wonder if this will help. I have not reached out to Apple Customer Service yet. I think I will though so they can have it on record on my phones serial.
