You were probably outside the exchange date for a new device. The one they gave you is typically "new or equal to new" IE: Refurbished. My guess is new though since they haven't had time to even get any refurb units in.
Got a tip for us?

I'm guessing you didn't bring the original box with you? It's also possible that they just didn't have any units in stock, and they only had the brown box replacement units. Should be fine regardless.
In fact you had the choice to return the device and buy a new one. I think what you have experienced is a warranty service, not a retail exchange. But anyway, the iPhone 11 Pro models just came out, there’re nearly no difference between refurbished ones and new ones.

Yep I think it’s SW.
Go to:
Settings-> General -> About -> Model
and if the initial letter is:
M - you have new phone
F - refurbished
N - it is a device that has been replaced with a new one.

Pretty sure ikea bulbs are LED. Anyway, the problem seems non-existent (at least for me) under fluorescent bulbs. Second I go under LEDs the flicker starts.We only have LED on the bathroom mirror
ahhh I see
Maybe iPhone’s sensors are more sensitive to LEDs as they are much lighter?
Possibly, although it wouldn’t make much of a difference at this point. It should work under any lighting condition. I have another phone call with Apple engineers this morning. Will let you know what happens.ahhh I see

Hey guys, on a whim, I installed 13.2 beta 1. Issue appears to be gone *knock on wood*. just a quick flicker here or there when the lighting conditions demand the extra brightness. So as far as I can tell working as intended. I'm gonna downgrade back to 13.1.2 since Deep Fusion is seriously screwing with my photos. Anyway, hopefully this means a fix is incoming. Cheers all.

Nope. Downgraded back to 13.1.2. Don’t wanna go through that whole ordeal again.
Wrong wrong wrong. This flicker is completely visible to the naked eye! I know what PWM flicker is and it’s not that. Even the geniuses at the Apple bar were worried a recall might be necessary. This was not visible on my X or my Xs max. This is extremely slow flickering. Like a backlight on a laptop going out. Again, this is completely visible to the naked eye and ONLY appears when True Tone and night shift are both on.
Yeah, I misread the post and thought the bitching was about visible flickering when viewed through a camera lens. I think that was pretty obvious too. Saying wrong once would have sufficed.
Lol, my bad if it came off as rude. I’m so used to speaking with Apple reps at this point and having to repeatedly let them know that this is an actual issue.Yeah, I misread the post and thought the bitching was about visible flickering when viewed through a camera lens.

Beta 1 actually fixed it (as I mentioned above), but I downgraded because it was killing my battery life. Not really down to re-install until battery life is solid again.
Are we going to pretend this is a non-issue?
I replaced phone and I really doubt two phones would have same exact issue.
