Has anyone ever noticed that when they use their volume buttons (power button also) it looks like a moving fluid spot in the display?

I’m attaching a video to show what I’m talking about.

I have never noticed this on any of my phones before, and am wondering if I just missed it, or if it could be an issue with my display. I never even noticed it on this phone until yesterday, which is why I’m curious as to whether it just started or I have just been clueless.

Thanks for any input.

Wow thank you - I had no idea, and not sure if I love it or not - makes me feel like my display is weirding out on me. Lol

At least I know there’s nothing wrong. ;-p

How do you know that it's not there to hide the fact that your display does weird out on you when you press the buttons?

Not sure I understand your question, but I’m assuming if it’s something that has changed with the update, then it’s gonna be the norm on everyone’s devices, and not just mine.

It was a joke, implying that Apple purposely alters those pixels programatically in order to hide a defect where pressing the buttons affects the pixels physically. There is zero evidence for such a defect except for this feature.

Oh sorry. lol. I’m usually not that slow to catch things. ;-p
