iPhone 16 Pink flashing screen

Hello, my first iPhone 16 suddenly did random screen flashing in pink color.

Swapped it for a new one, and noticed that this one has it too.

It occurs when the screen is idle and is dimming, and not always...

Its so strange.

When i touch the screen its gone, and the screen is normal.

Read a thread on Reddit where more people have this issue.

Pink tint on the edge of the screen I woke up this morning to reply some messages and i noticed a pink tint on the right edge of my screen. It only shows pink on dark grey backgrounds with low brightness, but since i only use night mode and low brightness it's always there. The phone is a month old today, it's basically brand new. Since it's a really expensive phone i've been extra careful, never dropped it or anything like that. I don't know how long it's been like this since i just noticed this morning. It's my first iphone ever and it i'm really frustrated with this problem. I've changed the wallpaper and hard reseted it, but it's still there. Is this a common issue? Would a replacement apply in this case?

iPhone Screen Pink after iOS 16 Update Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with their iPhone SE 2020 (or any other iPhone for that matter) after upgrading to iOS 16. I occasionally see flickering pink blocks or glitches on the screen as I navigate around the UI. Its very prominent when I open the Home app and scroll up and down through my smart devices - sometimes it even causes the UI to temporarily freeze or pause as I scroll up/down and significant chunks of the screen show this pink blocking or distortion. It also fairly obvious on the new lock screen customisation screens. Other apps seem to be affected to a lesser extent. Just to be clear - the whole screen doesn't go pink - just random portions of it - and only for fractions of a second - almost a flickering effect. I've not observed this behaviour at all on previous versions of iOS - but it started happening immediately after upgrading to iOS 16. Firstly I tried doing a hard reset - no joy - followed by erasing and restoring my iPhone to see if that would help, but unfortunately it didn't help. I turned on screen recording to see if I could capture a video of the behaviour but when I open the Home app and the pink artefacts appear, the phone freezes up and has to be reset.

This happens to me too, exactly as you described. I’m going to get a replacement phone tomorrow. It seems software related but not worth the risk even though it’ll probably happen again. Should’ve just kept my old phone😞
