iphone 16 screen blinking purple on the edges when display dims before it turns off

I noticed my iphone 16 I purchased 3 days back, the display started flashing purple on the edges of the screen when it dims before turns off. But the flashing goes away when you touch the screen on press a button as u usually do to stop it from turning off. It only happens during that dim state. Maybe it has something to do with the 1 nit brightness on the new screens. Anyone else experience this

I too observed something similar - The purple-ish tint across the screen (not opaque), more like a purple layer above the current screen with continuous blink/flicker. No lines seen. Remains for about 5-6 seconds before vanishing.
