Mine learned my pattern and it only turns off during sleeping hours now. I'd say the screen is on at least 16-18 hours a day. No trace of burn in or other issues at all. Excellent battery life too.
I turned my AOD off after a few days. I didn't find it useful enough to justify the battery usage. I keep a privacy screen on my phone, so that makes the AOD not very "glanceable". I do however appreciate the brighter AOD on the Apple Watches. Anyone have any burn in issues on their watch?
I don't know what kind of camera you use, but crank up the ISO and it is likely *more* sensitive than your eyes. I do lots of astrophotography and my camera sees things I can't. If you need any help with settings, send me a message.
OLEDs are notorious for burn-in. I had wild ticker burn-in on a TV that my day trader ex used.
AOD doesn’t effect my battery life on my 14 Pro Max.AOD has been on since 9/16/22. I can go beyond 36 hours without needing to charge.
I haven’t been on charger since driving home from work last night around 11:30pm. I was up till 5:00am using the phone. It’s 11:46am and battery is at 45%.
I had burn-in on my Series 1, but Apple swapped it under AC+ with no hassle. Haven't had issues with a Watch since.
That’s weird. I have an Apple watch series 5 with AOD and an oled screen and I haven’t gotten any screen burn in at all. Probably a defective unit.
Apple Watch 5 SS Edition. Over three years with the last year basically the same watch face and no burn-in.
AOD does affect your battery life. Maybe you don’t notice it, but there’s no sense claiming it doesn’t.
Check out this test above. One interesting thing is that colour AOD is not much more of a drain than black and white…
I’m not claiming it doesn’t. I telling you it doesn’t adversely affect it.
I can charge my 14 PM to 100% sit the phone down and it will take a hour or more to drop battery percentage.
I’ve been off charger for 16 hours. I’ve been playing music, texting, coming here and reading nonsense and I’m at 26% battery and when I came off charger last night it was at 81%. So if I would have come off charger at 100% I might be at 46% after 16 hours.
I don’t have to lie. If people stop screwing around with betas and battery hogging apps they may see better battery performance. Work the device don’t let it work you.
There’s absolutely nothing in it for me to lie about battery life on a 14 Pro Max. Instead of expecting magic from Apple put some work in and do some battery power management.
Does your wallpaper have some part that’s lighter in that area? Looks like it’s just below where the time/widgets would sit.
Odd, I’d see if it disappears over the next few days, if not I’d get an exchange if you can.
If not I’d make a YouTube video about it! Keep the phone as you will need it as proof! You will be a YouTube star overnight! Burn-in gate! Money, women, fast cars, big house (in that order), tax audit, poverty…
You will live it all my friend. This is your moment. Do not waste it!
Not to suggest I'm really qualified to know, but to me that looks more like a general screen defect than burn-in. I always thought burn in was something more visible on a lighter-colored background. I have no idea what that line actually is though. Reminds me a lot of the edge bleeding and bright blobs I had with numerous mobile LED screens over the years but I know OLED doesn't work that way. It certainly doesn't look very even. Computer graphics are generally straighter than that so it doesn't look like an impression of anything the display would show normally.
I used an always-on display on an Apple Watch Series 6 for two years using mostly the modular watch face. When my Series 8 arrived, I went back and displayed a solid white background on the Series 6 using the flashlight feature. It looked totally uniform. But I've heard horror stories, complete with photos, of other people getting burn-in from using the always-on display for long enough. This was probably more due to defect but the FUD has set in enough that I'm now scared to do this with my Series 8 anyway, even though I find it very frustrating to live without the feature. 🫤
I don't personally see the point of an always-on display on a phone. If I'm using my phone, I'm holding it. If I'm not holding it, I'm either trying to pay attention to something more organic, like an in-person conversation I'm having with someone, or my nose is buried in the screen of a different tech device that can offer me all the same info. I'd never lay my phone out on a table next to me because I'd be scared of someone wooshing by and stealing it. So I just don't see the case where this is helpful. Maybe I just don't get it because I already have a watch. I dunno.

Having worked on thousands of phones, I'd suspect either a bum display or damage from external pressure. Such as a wallet-type case pressing on it too hard.
Seems a bit low for Always on display. No issues here with my Pro Max. You have a faulty device. Trade yours in.

rename your thread please - that’s not even close to what burn-in is.
