iPhone 13 screen flickering/blinking after viewing HDR content (Video & Photo)

My iPhone 13 screen flickering/blinking after viewing HDR content and Instagram Reels too. I have upgraded to iOS 16.5.

Does anyone know why this could be and what I could do to fix it?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

For me too. I am using iPhone 13 and I think this issue is for many people or it is normal. Maybe a software issue or that is how OLED screen works with PWM in iphones.

  2. Select: "Bug Report" for the "Feedback Type"
  3. Comment: that this all began after installing an update. Include the URL of this thread
  4. Proceed from there as necessary


B. Set this Up Anew:

[…]If I drop 1200 bucks on something it better work perfectly, and if you’re not going to replace a defective item watch how fast I switch to Samsung.

Fine by me!


No one here works for Apple. These are just user-to-user forums. We’re all everyday Apple users like yourself. No one here has any say in Apple’s ultimate decisions.

is It working fine now? The new phone? Because they’re trying to bs me about screen replacement and it’s not even been a month since I got this phone. No way I’m getting it opened. I paid for a new phone and I’ll be replacing it no repairs or parts replacement.
