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
iPhone 16
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.

I noticed the exact same thing, sometimes the screen turnes purple before it turns off.
Similar issue on my iPhone 16. As the screen dims before going to sleep, it will suddenly turn purple. You can still see a little bit of the wallpaper, but all around it is purple. Then the phone goes to sleep. When I tap to wake it's back to normal. This doesn't happen each time, seems to be random.
I found another message board with someone saying it's an issue with the stock wallpaper. Since changing it off the stock, I haven't encountered the issue. Disappointing as I really like the stock wallpaper this year.
This happened to me also on my 16 plus, just about it was going to auto lock, during the dim state, it flickered pink. I changed from the stock Ultramarine wallpaper to another one and it has not happened again since. Seems to be a bug with the new wallpapers. I really liked the new ones also though. Hopefully they release a bug fix for this.
I’m having the same problem. I just bought a iPhone 16+ like a week ago and every now and then I’ll look down and my whole screen will be purple and flash and then disappear my phone‘s never cut off but I don’t know what it is, I thought. Maybe I had been hacked or someone was mirroring my screen. Not sure if anyone knows what this is. Could you please help out? Thanks.
Yes, it also happened to me already with 2 new iPhones 16, the first one I bought 10 days ago and it presented this problem I went to the store where I bought it and they changed the device however the new one they gave me also has the same problem, even the new one overheats when I put it to charge
Hi all,
I too got the same issue when My mobile is getting to dim mode, little afraid now because it’s just 3 days after my purchase of the brand new iphone 16
I too am also having a similar issue with my iPhone 16. So far apple has launched the iPhone 16 with many bugs and not too mention a key feature of the phone not even being available at launch!
Hi all, coming back to this thread for some update. Since updating to iOS18.1.1 on my 16 plus, I haven’t experienced this bug anymore with the said wallpaper. It seems like Apple has fixed it for this update.
Same here 🤚🏻

I’m currently experiencing this issue. I noticed a few weeks back, updated to latest version 18.1.1 and just noticed it again. Anyone have any potential suggestions for fixes?
Im also having the same issue with my new iPhone 16 plus and the issue seems to be due to the stock wallpaper animation which is glitching on ios 18…Apple you need to fix this ASAP in the next update!!!
Something similar, but no flickering, the screen dims with a purple tone or layer before goes off but it’s static.
I’m thinking this may be related to the iPhone 16 Plus that has the “always active screen” (I think that’s the name) and maybe this is a bug for the iPhone 16 that doesn’t have that capability.
