The first thing I think of as a burn-in risk is the ever-present bottom touch indicator. It is a black strip that sort of resembles a mic or speaker grill at the bottom of the screen and it is always drawn. Does anyone know if that will burn in, or is Apple doing something different with it in software or hardware?
The status bar elements also seem like a large risk, as some pixels tend to not change.
I also can definitely notice a ghosting effect while reading and scrolling text at the same time.
- helloandrewpark 9y agoStill waiting for my iPhone X to come in but from reading their info, they say burn in is a result of brightness + duration. From that it seems that the black strip will not be an issue.
- thinkythought 9y agoBlack elements absolutely burned in on the S7 edge my work has for app testing. And this is a device that, obviously, isn't even anyone's daily phone, nor does it have any reason to be "left on" for super long periods of time when it's not in someones hand. Those areas end up brighter than the rest of the screen, rather than darker. It's sort of a reverse ghosting. I ran one of those "burn in fixer" solid color pattern apps for almost 24 hours(which i know have hit or miss efficacy) and it subdued it, but it's still very clearly visible.
