Description

I found that using the v1 version of Mapbox to open maps on the latest iOS or Mac OS may cause flickering issues. But using the v2 version of mapbox does not have this problem. I am using the official demo, but I have replaced it with the version of mapboxgl, which also shows this phenomenon.

mapbox-gl-js version: v1.13.3
iOS version: 16.4.1
browser: safari
demo: https://jsbin.com/numoqoj/1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the flickering in the linked JSBin demo with mapbox-gl-js v1.13.3 on Safari and iOS 16.4.1, then compare the same map with v2. The work is complete when the cause is identified and the map no longer flickers on the reported platform, with the behavior checked against the v2 comparison.
