iOS 16 Screen Flickering

Nope. All the screen related issues seems to be fixed now. Did not noticed nahi any screen related issues after updating to 16.1

Same here on Iphone 11 Pro u can see the flickering in about half or less than half brightness and it can be clearly seen when trying to set an alarm on the clock app if ur not sure if the screen is flickering or not go to the clock app and try to set an alarm when changing the time u can see the flickering(try it on a dark place with low brightness)plz help with this issue.(ios 16.0.2 didn't fix this)

I bought my iPhone 13 3 months ago and i updated to iOS 16 on the release day. I am facing the same issue as well. Screen flickering especially in darker areas at 40% brightness. The brightness flickers as the screen refreshes, what I mean to say is, when any data gets changed on the screen, it flickers. Very noticible while typing, changing the time while setting an alerm, uploading a file to google drive etc.

I contacted the apple customer support. They couldnt help as the issue was not visible to camera or screen recording. So they suggested me to visit a Apple service centre. I will be going there tomorrow.

BTW I have tried resetting to factory once but the problem is still there. I have also updated to iOS 16.0.2 and that did not solve the issue.

Pretty weird issue TBH. I lot of people I know, have iPhones, but none of them are facing this issue or maybe they havent noticed very closely.

I will keep this thread updated.

i have the same issue, it is driving me crazy. and it keeps increasing. i was trying to convince local authorised support and friends to see it but all called me crazy untill finally a friend noticed it on his iPhone 13 as well.

for those who want to see it clearly , lower your brightness to around 40% and open clock app. try to set an alarm and you can see the screen flicker as you scroll through the timer.

Apple must fix this ASAP. it

Guys in addition to posting the concern over here please go to apple.com/feedback and please send a feedback to iOS team about the issue so that they can fix this in the next update.

the Genius Bar do some regular inspect on my iPhone, they change a new screen module but the problem still exists, so I require a Factory Repair, it usually take several weeks, I hope the problem can be solved😔

Purchased a brand new iPhone 13, facing the exact same problem.

The device came with iOS 15 and it didn't have this issue. I have also reported the same to apple as a bug report and spoke to

Apple customer support. It's disappointing that iOS 16.0.3 didn't fix this issue.

this is an issue that you don’t notice until you actually pay attention and it happens under specific circumstances only, that’s probably why a lot of people even though are experiencing this issue aren’t noticing it enough to report it. I myself didn’t notice it for more than a week until I heard about this issue and only found out when I paid attention to it, and once you notice it you can’t un-notice it, don’t say this issue doesn’t exist widespread because it definitely does exist and it IS a software issue and not a hardware one.

Please get Apple aware about this problem! It’s getting more frustrating and I feel like nobody cares about this situation in Apple community

Who are you addressing this to. YOU are the only one who can make Apple aware of your issue. Just asking other users is a waste of time, yours and ours. Product Feedback - Apple

I’m using a iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 15.6.1 and have the same issue.

For me it’s most notable in the message app where there is dark background. Circumstances: dark room, dark mode, brightness @ 25%. True Tone or Night Shift don’t make a difference.

It seems to be reproducible by scrolling in the messages. If you collapse the keyboard (no cursor blinking) and scroll: while moving the background gets a little brighter, after stopping it goes completely dark again.

It seems like the OLEDs get turned on slightly. I guess it’s to prevent some kind of ghosting, where pixel don’t turn on quickly enough so scrolling through completely black segments can look weird and slushy. So they just turn on the pixels if they expect movement (eg while scrolling).

but the weird flickering (eg while the cursor is blinking or whatever the reason might be) is very annoying.

there has to be a way to fix this :/

just give them a feedback.

what is strange is that they deleted my answer to youu.

ios 16.0.3 will rollout end of these week to fix these bug. Just read about it.

the issue is supposed to be fixed in the latest 16.1 update coming end of this month, the comments are being deleted because you can’t discuss fixes on the non-stable version of IOS on this forum

with ios 16.0.2 my iphone 11 pro make the same. on low brightness and grey fundal screen is having fluctuation keeping same light.

Is very annoying and furthermore you cannot make a downgrade via iTunes to ios 15.6 that was stable.

IMO iOS 16 was released too soon and not enough QA testing was performed. But yes better to wait it out for the next updated. I’m now left with a phone that has mangled pentalobe screws from Apple opening it 3 times 🙃
