Apple Watch Ultra 2 Purple Flickering Issue comes to “light”
Right out of the box, it seems to have been bugged with an issue or two. While we were yet to get over with its Weather Complication bug, a new one has already made its way. As of now, numerous users have voiced their concern that their Apple Watch 2 tends to flicker every now and then. Moreover, for many, the flickering happens with a purple light, though it just happens for a second or even less in some cases.
It tends to happen suddenly and there’s no action from the user’s end that seems to invoke it. With that said, some have said that they usually notice it on the sunrise/sunset complication using the new modular face. Apart from that, some have witnessed it when their display wakes on wrist raise or when it auto-switches from dark to light mode.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 flickering has only been reported by a handful of users to date, so it seems that it hasn’t affected the masses. And this could be one reason why Apple might not be aware of this bug. So it is recommended that you file the bug report and make the OEM aware of it so that they could act on it at the earliest. As and when that happens, we will update this post accordingly.
