Could someone please explain what this means to this poor lost soul?
iPhone 15s have burn-in
No they don’t. They haven’t even been out long enough for an OLED screen to burn in even if it was on 24/7 at full brightness. It’s a bug and it’s fixed in the latest OS update.
I'm guessing the joke here is that due to iPhones having text and icons in the same places on many screens this leads to more cases of Screen Burn-in. The image shows an iPhone displaying a white image that then highlights this fault with the phone and the title makes a joke comparing these always visible marks on the screen to the 'always-on' feature where the screen displays information even when the screen is 'off'.
Oh dear! Do they really get any burn-in? Is there a reason why Apple phones specifically would be susceptible to this? I've never heard of the issue on any phones, though.
As a sidenote: I do notice that the position of my Android AOD design shifts slightly every time, probably to prevent any burn-in.
Burn in is 100% a problem but apparently it was a bug causing the issue in the picture. An update was recently released and users with the problem are reporting that it’s completely gone.
afaik all OLED displays get this: the pixels degrade slightly over time… any always on display in a phone currently will be an OLED display, so the movement will certainly be to at least smooth out the pixel degradation
tbf I have the shadow of a wifi icon and battery in the top right corner of my android phone
It's more of luck of the dice when dealing with OLED burn-ins. I've got OLED phones that are 6 years old with no signs of burn-ins but I've seen 2 year old phones with heavy burn-ins. Although usage patterns might contribute to the probability of having a burn in.
Although the iPhone 15 Pro is an abnormal case signifying that either there are panel or display drivers issues.
Mine is 5 years old and pretty much uniform when showing white. I’ve been rotating the position and size of system icons ever since I got it in early 2023. However, after the previous owner, there is a vaguely shaped, soft-edged area in the bottom where dark colors (or any colors at low brightness) are noticeably darker than elsewhere. The blue channel is affected most so a hue shift occurs as well. It somewhat ruins the HDR experience of an OLED.

It doesn't really matter because the icons are always there. I only see it when reading webtoons
But didn't your device cost an arm and a leg? For the the Apple premium price this doesn't see like a good device.
"tbf I have the shadow of a wifi icon and battery in the top right corner of my android phone"
Opps, my bad
Such a revolutionary technology. If only some other company had previous experience with it and already developed some mitigations for it… /s
I think they fixed this in the latest 17.1 iOS update
Its a hardware issue. No Software is gonna fix it.
Apple will ship a systemwide back button without needing to touch the damn upper left and call it "innovation"

Burn in should take an incredibly long time to develop and it almost never looks like it does in the photo. This YouTube playlist shows a guy experimenting with a switch oled and it takes a long time to see an issue.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

No it’s not

I installed the beta RC. It seems to fix it.
Maybe Apple will start using this laser repair technology.
