How do I fix bright light flashes after iOS 18.5 update on iPhone 13 Pro Max?

Subsequent to updating my iOS, I have encountered an issue characterized by random flashes of bright white light on my screen, reminiscent of taking a selfie. This development concerns me greatly. What course of action can I take to address this?

You just described a possible hardware failure that occurred just prior to a software update.


While this is unfortunate, it is not uncommon.


My friend Iafeef suggested to Restart your iPhone, which could help resolve this anomaly.


However, if this anomaly continues, then this could possibly mean screen failure.


If that’s the case, then only an Apple Genius can review the cause and provide a complete solution.


Therefore, I recommend service.
