Following up on yesterday’s iPhone 15 screen burn-in article, a series of release notes for the current iOS 17.1 beta states that the update contains a fix for an issue that might be the cause for the scattered reports of iPhone 15 screen burn-in.
The release notes state that the update “Fixes an issue that may cause display image persistence.”
A month after the iPhone 15 range went on sale, users of the iPhone 15 Pro Max were reporting issues with screen burn-in. Despite the fix, it’s not a widespread problem, and it’s not known whether it also affects the iPhone 15 Pro.
Burn-in issues were part of the bad old days of CRT screens, but have resurfaced to some extent with OLED displays. This often happens after a very long time with the same images being shown on the screen.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
