I just found out that IF is burned into my screen. When looking at a grey/blueish screen, you can clearly see the map, world icon, headphone and yeah, just everything.
After doing some research (I’m not an expert about this at all) I found out that Apple is using pretty cheap OLED screens. The issue is known at Apple but no action has or will be taken as far as I know. Even better, the company who makes the screens will also produce the screens for the iPhone 14, Woohoo!
Just to warn other iPhone users that use their device for IF.
Apple iPhone 13 PM
Still on IOS 15.1.1
Will return the phone as I’m currently on vacation.

All OLED screens are like this regardless of quality. Having your OLED screen in direct sunlight for extended periods of time or having your device overheat for extended periods of time will most likely burn your page into the screen. You can avoid it by using a screen protector that blocks infrared radiation or do not overuse your device and keep it cool.
Abosuletly no offence at all! I fly quite a lot but the fact that this device costed around 14/1500 euros and you get such a bad quality screen is classic Apple… Sad but true. No more flying for me I guess
You could honestly fly for ages and ages without a screen burnt in like so. It’s how you take precautions to avoid it from happening. Callaa has some great recommendations that’d help, screen protectors very well help this issue. Turning down your brightness during the cruise phase is also something that helps refrain from future occurrences.
Using that kind of protector already. I’m also keeping it safe for sunlight and overheating which makes this problem weird. I’ve taken many pre-cautions to avoid this issue but it still happened. Fun fact: I haven’t flown for 3 days now and I just found out about the problem. And I check my device every single day for bugs and all other problems as I’m pretty careful with it. Even my old iPhone X hasn’t had this issue and I have way more hours on that device
I’d suggest leaving the device off for an extended period of time as that’s the common fix for screen-burns. Otherwise, a quick google search can lead to a lot of different fixes for this issue. Sure hope you don’t have to pay an organ to fix the screen, after all, it’s Apple. 😂
