Some iPhone 15 Pro Max units are suffering from a serious screen defect،

According to the self-proclaimed tech enthusiast, “Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max is reportedly experiencing screen burn-in issues, adding to a growing list of problems for the company this year. ” Screen burn-in occurs when an image stays on the screen for too long and remains on the screen no matter what you do with the device. This is a problem that can occur with a OLED screen. Even if the iPhone 15 Pro Max is turned off, the engraved image can stare back at you in all its ghostly glory.

A pretty serious case of screen burn on an iPhone 15 Pro Max

iPhone owners whose iPhone 15 Pro Max units suffer from burns posted about the issue on Reddit. One image in particular really stood out because it showed a ghostly image of the virtual QWERTY keyboard, including the letter on each key! The Redditor whose iPhone has the engraved keyboard was rather stoic when he wrote: “I have the same problem. Apple is going to replace it. This seems relatively rare, I’ve seen about 5 reports in total. But it’s is definitely a real problem with the 15 Pro Max that previous generations didn’t have.”

Burn-in often begins with image retention. This is a ghost image showing a previous screen that will disappear over time. So, if you have image retention on your iPhone, turn off the device before it turns into a case of permanent burn-in. Certain applications that remain static for a long period of time or whose screen elements do not change, such as Google Maps for example, are prime candidates for contributing to screen burn-in.

Even so, screen burn-in takes a long time, which means that the iPhone 15 Pro Max Screens exhibiting this problem could suffer from a manufacturing defect. Either way, Apple should replace the phone because it’s a hardware issue and a software update won’t help. There is a one year warranty on new iPhone 15 Pro Max units, so if your phone is burned, you can visit the Genius Bar at your nearby Apple Store. You can also call the nearest Apple Store and explain the problem.
