Hi I have an iPhone XS. There is a weird jumpy behaviour in Dark Mode in Settings/Twitter wherever there is a gray content and a pure black background. It looks like bouncing up and down.
See the video below:

When the brightness is increased it goes partly away. What causes that?
Thanks

I had this problem too, and it is an OLED issue, it is reproducible with other high-quality OLED phones as well.
BUT it is definitely an UX / UI bug - the fix for OLED screens in this case is NOT to use true blacks, as some designers have already figured out long before - it seems Apple has not yet picked up on that and not fixed it in their UI for e.g. dark mode and icons...
It's a bit sad, since Apple seems to have always put emphasis in great design but seem to be unable to fix this issue in their UI for over three years now.
Blog which explains the issue really nicely:

If you think you’ve found a bug, I’d recommend reporting it to Apple at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/
I don't think this is a bug per se. Maybe it is a behaviour of the OLED screen. I really don't know. That's why I posted here. Plus from all the bugs I have reported I got exactly zero responses.
Thanks. A really good article by the way. Apple really needs to address this issue!
