iPhone 15 Pro Max screen flashes white on wake/notifications

Hello, I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and I’m experiencing a strange screen issue.

When I press the side button to wake the phone, the screen flashes completely white for a moment. The same thing happens when I receive notifications/messages — instead of showing the normal screen, it flashes white.

The phone itself seems to be working: I can hear charging sounds and notifications, and there are no visible signs of damage.

Has anyone experienced the same issue on an iPhone 15 Pro Max?

Thank you.

Expressing or conveying visual experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. The underlying visual issue on your iPhone cannot be accurately diagnosed online. Factors such as your iPhone's specific settings, visual defects, and potential hardware problems cannot be assessed through this method. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.

When you encounter issues with your Apple devices, the Genius Bar at Apple Retail Stores is the go-to place for expert assistance. The Genius Bar is staffed by knowledgeable Apple employees, often referred to as "Geniuses," who can diagnose and resolve a wide range of hardware and software-related problems. To ensure personalized attention and a convenient visit, Apple provides the option to schedule a Genius Bar Reservation.
