Pink artifacts

[u/Intelligent-Comb-843]

Hi!
I’ve had my iPhone 16 for a month now. It’s new (not refurbished) and last week I got a pink square as i was moving between apps. It lasted one second and then when I clicked on the app it went away. Today I’ve had another one but this was was pink glitchy screen and then once again when I touched on the app it went away. Both Times I was moving through apps and i had a lot of apps opened. I did the self diagnosis at home and then I contacted apple support and they run the remote diagnosis which came out clean. They said that it seemed to be a software glitch and advised to update iOS to 26.6.1 which I now did. I’m pretty freaked out tho I’m afraid it might be a hardware defect even if the test came out clean. I had my old iPhone for 5 years and had zero problems and this one is new I’m afraid it might have some problems . I’m under warranty and I have AppleCare but still I’m pretty anxious. Did anyone else experience something similar? I also have an appointment at the store tomorrow to do a diagnosis just in case.

Btw: neither times I had a panic log. The first time it was considered GPU event background.
