My brand new iPhone 15 appears to have a burn in issue with the status bar where it leaves behind a dark faded version of the icons there. (I just updated from IOS 17.0.2) is this normal?
Probably just temporary image retention
I would need to see a photo, but it’s not possible to burn in a screen in one day.
iPhone 15 runs an OLED screen.
OLED’s CAN get burn in, but it generally takes running a device 24x7 for months.
Apple statement here:
It tends to fade a little over time and updates to the current battery percentage and it happens when I enter control center
Or close the status bar over a dark background
UPDATE: Got the phone exchanged for a new one!
How’s the new one?
It has the same problem, I’m starting to think it’s my eyes
Is this normal No
My brand new iPhone 15 appears to have a burn in issue Call AppleCare or bring it back to the store
Not normal.There was an issue with some 15 models having image retention that looked like burn-in but it turned out to be a software issue. If you have the latest update and still seeing burn in I would go to apple for a return / exchange.
