    My understanding is that a lot of “burn in” with OLED screens isn’t permanent. The quote accurately calls it “image retention” because the image is temporarily retained but the screen will go back to normal. It also points out that this type of thing happens under niche circumstances. Almost like people are trying to make this happen.

        Yes, it is but this isn’t it. I guarantee these displays are not permanently damaged so soon after launch. It usually takes thousands of hours of displaying the same image with max brightness to actually burn in a modern OLED panel.

            Do you have any proof? Apple claims they’ve fixed these issues in iOS 17.1 which would again suggest that this is just soft image retention that that they weren’t accounting for well enough.
