iOS 16 Screen Flickering

I agree and we should only wait for apple to clear this issue out as this has nothing to do with hardware. After a lot of effort i could connect my apple watch to the new iphone. They should fix all the bugs before and only release the software later

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 🙃

What is “enough?” It was beta tested for 3 months by over a million users. Do you think another few days would have made a difference>

Hey, I am facing the same issue. I bought 13 on 24th September and I immediately updated to 16 before transferring my old iPhone's data and when I start using, I noticed the flickering. It flickers intermediately at mid brightness level and while typing. Specially noticeable in dark mode. I went to the apple service center, and they did nothing just reinstalled the iOS and gave back to me, saying that the MRI Diagonostic test is passed and shows nothing and the flickering they were not able to notice. It feels they don't even want to. If the device was out of warranty, I am sure they would have noticed as they get some commission. Not sure, if this is some hardware specific issue particular with the display panel or some iOS glitch. It doesn't seem to me an iOS glitch because, if it would have been then there should have been much greater number of users who would have faced this issue. Apple should take care of their customer's concerns seriously. Can't say how much this flickering thing bothers while using the phone. Still no solution.

Had the same thing, even got my screen changed from an apple authorised service centre and yet no change. The issue still persists and I'm not even sure if I should update to iOS 16.0.3. What if it has more bugs than before or the flickering issue aggravated.

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.

15.7 is still being signed, it’s just not listed on ipsw website because it was released as just an OTA update to phones but the 15.7 official ipsw does exist and i would send you the link but idk if i can post links on here

It is flickering on your phone, but not on many millions of phones, so you need to troubleshoot the problem with your phone. As it is only a small number of phones it isn’t something that Apple can fix globally; you need to get tech support from Apple.

5 pages topic, lol

Is it a "small number of phones"?

Check youtube "iOS 16 Dev Beta flickering screen iPhone 13" and look how many views this video have, 1.7k - is this not enough to investigate the problem?

Well, but still agree, it’s stupid to ignore the problem EVEN ON A SMALL number of devices, because there is a problem and it is a fact. Or should I contact the service and demand a refund or replacement of the device? But, as already mentioned above, this problem did not exist on versions 15.x.

If it’s on a small number of devices it is not a generic problem that can be fixed by waving a magic wand. It is necessary to evaluate devices that have the problem to see what is causing it. That’s why you need to contact Apple support rather than just post in this user-to-user forum. Start with Get Support at the top of this page.

What makes you think that Apple Support is helping out with this? Even they don't know what the problem is! They reinstalled iOS on my device which didn't solve the problem, even changed the screen too and yet no fix. What am I supposed to do now then?

EXACTLY. They don’t know what the problem is, and the only way they will find out is to see it on multiple phones, which is why you should take it to a genius bar, where every incident is logged. It isn’t even clear that it is a single problem; it is a symptom, and the symptom can have multiple causes. Every genius bar visit and every contact using the Get Support link is logged, and when they see a pattern they can address it. Clearly, they haven’t been able to reproduce the problem in their lab or they would have fixed it.

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.

and the issue that you keep denying to be existing on “millions of phones” is also not a device specific issue, it’s happening on 11 PM, all the 12s and the non proMotion 13s, so this issue seems to exist on non-promotion OLED displays and it is most definitely a real one
