I’ve had a 10.5” iPad Pro since they first came out. Recently (maybe right after I installed the iOS 11 GM), I’ve noticed that the screen seems to be flickering at a rapid pace, although it’s a bit subtle. I thought maybe it was True Tone or Night Shift, but the effect remains even when they’re disabled.

I asked two people to take a look, and they both confirmed that they notice it, too. It’s most noticeable when I’m reading at night indoors in a medium-light setting (I have dimmer bulbs in my room).

Has anyone else noticed this on your iPad?

I was thinking about resetting and restoring it, but I’m not sure if that would help. I have AppleCare, but I usually like to reserve that for when bigger issues like cracked screens or whatever.
 
My 10.5 doesn't have this. However I've had other iPads and iPhones that have had a flickering or "interlacing" on the screen. I would try a clean install first, which would save you the hassle of a swap. If that doesn't resolve it, take it to Apple. You are in your first year warranty and it's not an accidental damage replacement, so AC+ won't come into it... standard warranty replacement.
