Edge glow (halo-like) around iphone 12 pro screen

Hello, so there's a glow around the edge of my iphone 12 pro when I woke up today. It already happened 3x already. The last time it appeared was around 3 weeks ago. The same scenario happens. I woke up, then I find the edge of the screen of my iphone glowing.


After 30 mins of using, it fades until it completely goes back to normal. I'm not sure if its a software bug or hardware issue, but i haven't experience anything unusual after that.


The one thing in common for three instances was that the first two scenario, I left my phone fully charged in the evening, and find the edge glowing when I woke up in the morning. I charged my phone with low power mode on and on airplane mode. last night, I slept at 40% battery with low power mode on, I woke up in the morning finding the edge glowing again.


I'm not sure if temperature is a factor but the phone wasn't hot when I slept. The case isn't that tight also.


I never put my phone in my pocket nor drop it from a high point so Im pretty sure I didn't damaged the screen nor the phone.


Here's the photo of my phone last morning:

Did you try another wallpaper, maybe a default one from Apple?

To rule out a software issue, set it back to factory settings, using your computer:

Have any parts of the phone been replaced in the past?

Yes, as described in the blue linked article.

But if you create a backup on your computer before you start, you can use this backup to restore your data from, after you have testet the iPhone, without using the backup as a first step.
