Hey there,
Last night when I synced my watch with my new iPhone 16 Pro Max I noticed that a weird dark line was present in the middle of the screen. It looks like a burn-in which is impossible since I barely used the device yet and once I zoom in on the screenshot the dark line disappears. At this point, I thought that it was maybe just a graphic element on the screenshot (a gradient line or something similar). I uploaded the screenshot to my Macbook and tried to reveal the dark line but I could not. So I airdropped the screenshot to my wife's 15 Pro Max and guess what..the line is there
It can be seen in a dark environment with around 5% screen brightness. If you have time could you please test with your device?
The steps:
1., Download the screenshot to your iPhone
2., Find a very dark environment
3., Bring down the screen brightness to the minimum
4., Open the image
5., Check whether you can see the dark line or not
6., If you can take a picture of your screen and upload it here I would be more than grateful
Test image
In the comparison image, the device on the left is the 16 Pro Max and the one on the right is the 15 Pro Max.
Disclosure: I know it's just pure OCD. However, I'm very curious about what can this be. To summarize it looks like a burn-in, but once I zoom into the screenshot it disappears. However, if I upload the screenshot to my Macbook there is no way I can reproduce the issue with the picture so it's maybe only an OLED thing.
