The launch of Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro will not have been easy. After overheating problems, some smartphones now suffer from burn-in on their OLED screens.
The release of Apple’s iPhone 15 series has received a lot of attention, but often because defects spotted on smartphones. Since the launch, the company has notably had to deal with overheating problems on the Pro models. Apple quickly fixed the problem with the deployment of a patch a few days ago, but the smartphones are now a little less powerful than before, according to our own benchmarks.
While the Pro models would also suffer from power consumption issues, Many owners now complain of screen burn, also called “burn-in”. This is a rather worrying defect, which generally occurs extremely rarely on recent OLED screens. Even the OLED screen of the Nintendo Switch is very well protected against this phenomenon.
The iPhone 15 Pro suffers from burn-in on their screen
Burn-in on OLED displays is a phenomenon whereby certain pixels or areas of the screen suffer permanent or semi-permanent damage due to prolonged and static retention of the displayed image. This phenomenon occurs when static images or items are displayed on the screen for long periods of time without changing.
Burn-in can lead to visible ghosting or permanent discoloration of affected pixels, which then results in noticeable and often irreversible screen distortion. Internet users who use their smartphones on a daily basis should not encounter such problemsespecially since only a month has passed since their marketing.
One image in particular caught attention because it showed a ghostly image of the virtual QWERTY keyboard. “ I have the same problem. Apple will replace it. This seems relatively rare, I’ve seen about 5 reports in total. But this is definitely a real problem with the 15 Pro Max that previous generations didn’t have “, declared another Internet user.
We therefore hope that Apple will quickly correct the problem on the next copies manufactured, because burn-in should not appear as easily on screens of such quality. As a reminder, the iPhone 15 Pro Max panels are supplied by Samsung Display, while LG Display also takes care of the production of some of the iPhone 15 Pro screens.
