Screen flicker on iPhone XS

Seems to be related to the brightness slider. When I go to the brightness settings and enter a room that is brighter or darker, I see the slider move as normal. As soon as is passes under the letter S in “brightness” it flickers once. I tried moving it manually, and I get the same issue at the same spot. It’s annoying, since it constantly goes up and down as I move around, and causes the flicker every time. Never had this with my 9 iPhones before this one. I hope it’s software related and there’s a fix on the way.

Anybody else having this issue?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

Ours (2) flickers for no apparent reason. I could go into my bank account app, or any other app and it’ll do it. Or I can just unlock it and it will do it. There is no rhyme or reason as to why it flickers. I just hope they do an update to get rid of this issue. I’ve had every iPhone since the iPhone three and Apple is not keeping up with the many issues of owning an iPhone. It’s very disillusioning especially since this iPhone cost me over $1500.

Is this flickering very noticeable? I have something like this, but it's more at 40% of brightness. When I have True Tone "on", and I put phone near window and then back to darker part of room, I see the True Tone change (from cold to warm) and with this change I see a little bit of flickering at Apple photo app (during watching pictures) 😟. A I said, it's more at 40% of brightness, and don't know if this screen problem or software. Would be nice if Apple said something, if they working at update...
