iPhone 16 Ultramarine Display Turns Pink Randomly

I’ve recently noticed that my iPhone 16 Ultramarine display occasionally turns pink while I’m using it. It usually happens randomly during normal use, and the screen either stays pink for a few seconds or until I restart the phone.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is it a software glitch or a potential hardware problem? My iOS is up to date. Any advice or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone 16, iOS 18

My educated guess is likely a hardware problem. But do you mean the whole screen, or just the edges, which would mean that Apple Intelligence has been activated?

It’s the entire screen that turns pink, not just the edges. It usually happens suddenly during normal uselike browsing, messaging, or even on the home screen. The pink screen stays for a few seconds and then either goes back to normal or requires a restart.
