=== Assistant: Got it — if they change position, then what I said about fixed LCD “bruises” no longer fits. ===
Got it — if they change position, then what I said about fixed LCD “bruises” no longer fits.

And the fact that they do not appear in a screenshot is still the most important clue. When you combine those two facts:
* moves around
* not captured by screenshot

…the most likely explanation is not the phone at all, but something in your vision (an “entoptic” effect), like eye floaters, an ocular migraine/visual aura, or other eye/visual-system phenomena.

That can look exactly like “little O-shaped spots” that seem to invert colors because they’re distorting/occluding your view of the pixels, not changing the pixels.

==== ### ====
* Close your left eye: do you still see them?
* Close your right eye: do you still see them?

If the spots are only in one eye, it’s almost certainly eye-side, not screen-side.

===== Stare at a fixed point on the screen, then move only your eyes (not the phone). =====
* If the spots “drift” or “lag” as your eyes move, that’s classic floaters.

===== Rotate the phone 90° or 180°. =====
* If the spots do not rotate with the screen content, it points to your vision, not the display.

===== Start a screen recording (Control Center → record), then stop and replay it. =====
* If the spots aren’t in the recording, that again points away from software/GPU.

==== If any of these are true, don’t wait on this: ====
* sudden increase in floaters
* flashes of light
* “curtain”/shadow over part of vision
* new severe headache with visual changes
* one-sided vision loss

Those can be signs of retinal issues and should be checked same day.

==== Given “moves around” + “not in screenshot,” the top candidates are: ====
* floaters (most common)
* visual aura/ocular migraine (can happen even without a headache)
* less commonly, other eye conditions that need a check

If you tell me just one thing: do they move when you move your eyes, even if the phone stays still? That single detail will basically classify it.
