SO i got iphone 12 pro about a month ago. i heard about the flickering raised blacks and green tiny issues bu ti decided to get it anyway. luckily i had no problems for a month now. i love this phone, the form factor, the camera, everything. Last night i was watching netflix on my phone in a dark room in the evening. I had trouble loading shows so i rebooted the phone, and bam! at the boot screen with apple logo, the phone was flickering every second between pure black background and grey. Then back to netflix, the black letterbox bars on top and bottom flicker between pure black and grey. so distracting! loaded up youtube pure black test video, the whole screen is grey, not black. when i flip to portrait mode, it goes pure black, but full screen is not black lol. the flickering is different on different brightnesses. on max brightness its not as flickering. Does anyone know at this point if its a hardware or software issue? the fact that it was perfect until last night makes me think its software? idk. has anyone had this issue and it went away?
EDIT: after more testing it seems to do it all the time in youtube, but less in netflix, and almost not on safari. pure black works FINE on background of messages app in dark mode. BLack image on google is perfect black when i DONT zoom or scroll, if i zoom or move image it shows grey and then when i stop it shows black. related to motion somehow? also if i open control center and close it, it shows grey for a few moments and goes back to black. software issue maybe?
