UPDATE

I went to iStyle (it is reseller, because I am from Czech Republic and we do not have an Apple store here (yea f*ck ? it )) and I left the phone for a complaint, after 4 days they told me that it was a SW problem and that the device diagnostics didn't detect any HW problem.

I am still thinking about this problem, what causes it (HW or SW). I will probably contact Apple's official Czech support. ??‍♂️
So we will see what happens.

But I hope iOS 13.2 (as overlocked says) will fix it.

I have the same flickering problem. But I never use Night Shift.

The problem resolves itself temporarily if I toggle True Tone off and on again, but eventually comes back.

I’m kinda shocked that we haven’t heard about this issue more publicly. Makes me think a lot of folks don’t have True Tone on or don’t use Auto Brightness.

Updating now and will test to see if screen issue is resolved. Also having a lot of dropped calls so hoping this addresses that as well.

I just tried it again and it seems to be fixed. True Tone ON, auto-brightness ON, HDR on and no flickering. Hope it is fixed for good.

Noticed this yesterday when I was showing coworkers pictures from my vacation :( I'll live with it and hope for a software update.

I'm having the same issue here(11 Pro) It's really annoying me, turning the View Full HDR off seems to have fixed it for me though, but it might come back as people have reported

Without looking into this, I think that the problem is an overly aggressive Automatic Max Brightness setting that is used on OLED screens to limit the peak brightness. In the case of iPhone Pros, Apple might have made the setting too aggressive in order to reduce battery drain.

Collected my first iphone yesterday and returned it on the same day. My iphone 11 screen flickers and freeze at setup. At one point, the display fades and zoom out slowly into black screen.
