iPhone Apps and Icons Flickering

I bought my iPhone 7 plus 2 weeks ago, with an iOS 10.3.1, and it's the second time I noticed that the icons flicker from one icon after the other when I plug the charger to my iPhone. The first time I noticed this was 4 days after I bought my iPhone but I ignored it, I thought it's just a normal thing but this time it flickered a lot and I am a lil bit worried.. I had been using iPhone since 5 to 6plus and went to android for nearly 2 years and just got back to iOS, and this is the first time I have encountered this, is this is a big issue or problem..?? Anyone??

I faced a very similar issue, but not only in "charging time" but also during standard use. I bought an IPhone 7 Plus, only 4 days ago but I had this issue since the start up.

Images and icons softly disappear and long grey/ Blue/red lines cancel all what on the screen.

You need to wait 5-6 minutes and telephone starts working again. Absolutely a NOT Acceptable mess in a smartphone that cost 950 € .

My iPhone 7 Is new and total memory available is still about 90%.


I hope Apple will fix this soon. I never had similar problems with all my previous Android phones.


be careful to consider IPhone 7 Plus as the best smartphone: my actual opinion is much different and I will not recommend anybody to purchase it.


Kindly everybody that faced this issue should share his point of view about.
