Home Screen on my iPhone 14 Pro flickers after updating to iOS 18

After the update, whenever I close an app , the bottom part of the home screen flickers for 1 second. Who else has this issue?

I have a 14 pro.

I have seen these issues in the past. There were 2 possible options.


1 hardware defect. This means you will need a screen replacement. The problem is that this hardware defect might become present when updating and having a non-original Apple screen installed. At that moment I have seen cases where the screen bricks and basically stays bricked no matter what. The downside is that you can't replace your screen at Apple anymore if it has a non-original part if I remember correctly.


2 The more likely one, is a software bug. In that case, I recommend the following.


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button
  3. Press and hold the side button and hold until the phone turns off
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the button and let the phone boot up
