iphone 13 screen flickering after ios 18.2.1 update

-I have iphone 13 and I saw this flickering issue which happens in light mode and not noticeable in dark mode. It is minute and noticeable at low to medium brightness and not in full brightness. I saw reddit posts, posts in apple support community that many people having this same issues.

-Flickering happens in photos app (while seeing photos) instagram (while exiting after seeing reels and while seeing or leaving HDR content.) Flickering can be noticeable in white background outside the photo/image in the photo app and you can notice this flickering in white background in other apps like safari and notes too. If you notice keenly it happens while switching between apps like Instagram, whatsapp, photos app, settings, etc…

-I noticed flickering more in ios 17 and after updating to ios 18 I felt flickering was not that much but again after updating to ios 18.2.1 I can see the flickering more. I tried reducing white point in settings > accessibility > display & text size. Now I don’t notice this flickering. Maybe I am PWM sensitive (PWM sensitivity is a condition where a person is sensitive to the flickering of a display that uses Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)).
