Is the Rainbow effect on my iPhone 16 Pro screen protector normal?

I have an IPhone 16 pro with a go to screen protector. I notice rainbow effect when the screen is on specially on white background and on the wallpaper .Anyone else?

When I tilt the phone from side to side the rainbow effect is noticeable and is diagonal . Idk if it’s normal or not or just the screen protector.

I have the similar issue, don't think it's screen protector related, because it seems to happen with only some apps (e.g. Safari) when keyboard is initially activated an goes away as soon as you start typing. And happens with multiple wallpapers. You can see the "shadow" around w/e/s on the keyboard. Not sure if it's some software feature or a defective screen. I'd expect to see it all the time if it was defective screen or screen protector though.
