Hello everyone,
as you can tell by the title of this thread, I am having an issue with image retention. Here is the whole story. In April 2021 (shortly after updating to iOS 14.5), I noticed that things like the battery icon, Wi-Fi symbol, signal bars and the time started ghosting in. I turned off my phone for a few hours, because I had thought it would resolve the issue. After the time went by, I turned on the phone and used it for a few minutes, and the same thing continued to happen. A few days later, it became worse. The white bar at the bottom of the screen, the emoji symbol and the microphone started ghosting in as well. I had to wait for another three weeks so I could take the phone to my local Apple Store due to lockdown. After the three weeks had gone by, I went to the Apple Store and they replaced the display for free. And everything was fine… for about a month. A month later, the same thing started happening again. I called the Apple Support, they told me to bring in the phone. I went there again, and they gave me a new one. That was on a Monday. On Saturday, during the same week, the same thing started happening… I am not even joking. I wish I was. So, I am dealing with this issue for the third time in three months and I do not know what to do. I have pictures of the issue and it looks really bad.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Arman
