Summary:
When using the iOS simulator (Xcode 9 beta 2), significant rendering issues are commonly observed. Initially, I believed this was related to errors in an application I building. However, I’ve been able to observe the issues in system apps (most easily observed in Photos).

Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch iOS simulator from Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Simulator menu item
- Launch Photos app (occurs in system apps as well as third-party apps)
- Scroll around randomly; observe flickers and glitches in screen rendering

Expected Results:
- Screen should never draw inaccurately

Actual Results:
- Frequent screen glitches and flickers are observed

Version:
Version 9.0 beta 2 (9M137d)
