In addition to other problems that have been reported with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, some users are now complaining about screen burn-in.
Screen burn-in is a permanent discoloration of a portion of a display that occurs when an image is displayed on the screen for a long period of time. It is a problem that can happen with OLED displays, which are the type of displays used in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
A number of users on Reddit and Apple’s support forum have reported this issue and shared images of the handset with elements of the user interface appearing as ghostly shadows.
One user, who said they use their phone normally for tasks such as browsing the web, checking email, and watching videos, posted a photo of their phone with a burn-in of the home screen and a YouTube video thumbnail. Another user commented in the same Reddit thread with an image of their phone with a ghostly keyboard burned into the screen.
However, the issue does not appear to be widespread, and reports of burn-in on the iPhone 15 Pro Max at this stage remain rare, there are some simple steps to take if you do experience it.
Your first step is to contact Apple support or make a booking at an Apple Store Genius Bar, where the company’s experts can troubleshoot the problem. If the issue is deemed to be a hardware fault, you’re well within the one-year limited warranty that Apple offers with its new devices in the US.
