I experienced a display flashing issue when I lock the screen. This happened right after I installed iOS 16. Furthermore, under accessibility, when I switched on Smart Invert option, screen is almost flashing significantly. This happened only with my iPhone 13 Pro Max phone.
Please provide a solution. And please correct this issue with iOS 16.1 update.
Hi udithawijayarathne,
We’re happy to provide some assistance.
Based on your original post, we recommend the troubleshooting steps via the link below since your display is not working as expected after updating to iOS 16.
If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad
1) Restart your iPhone or iPad.
2) Make sure that your screen is clean and free of any debris or water.
3) Disconnect any Lightning or USB-C accessories. If your screen works after removing an accessory, try using a different outlet, cable, or charger.
4) Remove any cases or screen protectors.
We’re recommending the steps above because they directly address the issue you initially reached out to the community about, which is that your display isn’t working correctly on your iPhone after updating to iOS 16.
If the original problem persists after trying our suggested troubleshooting steps, provide us with specifics on what you see for more help, and we will continue from there.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers!
Hello.
This reply doesn't help cuz I've done all these including a full restart.
After iOS 16, smart invert is not working properly. I've seen many iPhone 13 Pro Max users are experiencing this. When you click on the power off button, white displays flashes and then turn off. Sometimes it is white display flash and some times it is grey display flash. Phone is used less than 3 months and less than 20 full charging cycles.
This is right after iOS 16. Even my iPhone 10 performance is greatly depreciated. I feel that, now apple is not really thinking about their customers, they just want to put a new model and for the sake of having a new iOS they are releasing. Very poor service now. Please fix this bug and release iOS 16.1.
Apple seems no longer reliable now. Very very low attention to detail.
Thanks mate for replying.
I did full restart with erasing the contents. This is right after iOS 16.
I didn't do restoring my phone via MacBook. I'm afraid doing that. BTW this is Singapore version. Model number ending Z/P. I bought from authorised apple agent. Most of such phones are having this issue. May be not for other models.
Thanks.
What steps did you use for the full restart?
Did you also try restoring your iPhone via your computer?
My 13 Pro Max didn't do any of that.
