iPhone 16 Display Flickering – Seeking Community Insights

I’ve been experiencing intermittent display flickering on my iPhone 16 since purchase, affecting both native and third-party apps. Over the past three months, I’ve taken several steps to troubleshoot the issue: submitted logs, restored iOS, and completed hardware diagnostics. Unfortunately, the flickering persists.


Apple Support has reviewed the case but hasn’t been able to pinpoint the cause. I was advised to reach out to third-party app developers, though the issue also appears in Apple’s own apps, which makes me wonder if it’s a broader system-level concern.


I’m posting here to ask if others have encountered similar display behavior and whether any effective solutions or workarounds have emerged. I’m hoping to gather insights from the community that might help guide next steps or clarify whether this is an isolated or widespread issue.


Thanks in advance for any input or shared experiences.

iPhone 16, iOS 26
