There is a flicker happening on the iPhone 12 black panel on both sides while watching videos on YouTube or Prime or Netflix… very disturbing and not able to view any movies or clips… it’s a nÉw phone and not able to understand what the issue is.
iPhone 12, iOS 15
Hello Mastersoftheuniverse,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with watching videos on your new iPhone 12. Which exact version of iOS 15 are you updated to under Settings > General > About? If you haven't updated to iOS 15.0.1 yet, we recommend creating a backup as described here: Back up iPhone
Then, update your iOS as outlined here: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue persists, or you've already updated, are there any updates for these apps in the App Store? This link goes over how to update your apps: How to manually update apps on your Apple device
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
Software is updated to the latest and yet issue is faced.
if brightness is kept at 100% the side black panels has no grey flicker … if it’s below 100% the side black panels has a grey flicker in amazon prime, YouTube , Netflix when seeing the movie in a dark room.
Thank you for letting us know Mastersoftheuniverse,
We released iOS 15.0.2 since last we spoke. Did you install that update as well? If so did that resolve the issue? Does this also occur with videos you recorded with your iPhone as well, or only in the three apps you mentioned? Also, to confirm, did you install the available updates for those apps as well?
Cheers!
