iPhone 6 & 10.0.2 bottom of screen is flickering

I've just updated my iPhone 6 from 10.0 to 10.0.2 - and noticed that on the highest brightness intensity, the bottom of the screen has an irritating flickering. On a lower brightness setting, this doesn't happen.

Does anybody have the same issue? Any fix to this?

Hi there, zigginl!

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. After reading your post, I am understanding that you see a flicker at the lower part of your iPhone 6 display when the brightness is turned up. I definitely want to help make sure that everything is working as expected!

I've got some troubleshooting I can suggest. Before you begin, please create a backup as detailed here: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Once you have your backup, try the following steps, in order. Test the display after each step, stopping when the issue is resolved.

Restart your iPhone by following the steps here: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Reset your iPhone settings by going into Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This will not remove any of your personal information (contacts, pictures, Calendar events, etc) but will revert customizable settings (wallpaper/screen brightness, alert sounds/ringtones, Date & Time settings, etc) back to their factory defaults. It will also remove any saved Wi-Fi networks and passwords, as well as previously used APN or VPN settings.
Restore your iPhone to factory settings, following the steps in this article: Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to factory settings

After the restore is finished, set your iPhone up as a new device (without using the backup you created earlier, at least temporarily). Test the display; if it works as expected with full brightness, restore your backup using the steps here: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup

Cheers!
