Several users of the iPhone 15 Pro Max have shared their screen burn-in experiences on Reddit.

[{"selector":"#anim-0b41362c-a4bb-4efd-af42-2e3ad794b7a8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.94685%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2c0f0e71-373f-424f-be1c-1871847b40a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f9058bd-c74f-4966-a344-e648c7065ee9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

One user posted a picture showing a faint outline of the virtual QWERTY keyboard, clearly showing individual letters on each key.

[{"selector":"#anim-deef1f9d-ece0-4d0a-9385-4a967c667355","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.94685%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b08aadb3-f962-4ac5-87f2-e41ebca75f72","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6a44ca09-3d2b-40d3-90dc-1fe480ffe1ba","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

Screen burn-in typically starts as image retention, where a faint outline of a previous screen is visible but eventually fades over time.

[{"selector":"#anim-87f7e8e2-5694-4959-bdea-84fce6a8b8d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.92356%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a4f0764b-c8fe-4433-86c5-59b0800b68c6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aa0c9978-0570-43b4-afbc-d9717a1d11c3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

To stop image retention from turning into permanent burn-in, users should power off their devices when not in use.

Apps that show static images for longer periods or have unchanging screen elements, like Google Maps, are more likely to cause screen burn-in.

The screen burn-in issue with iPhone 15 Pro Max devices raises concerns for both Apple and its users.

[{"selector":"#anim-d52e31aa-b98c-4c6d-81d6-b41bb645e38e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.92356%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-69e1a803-e224-4754-b6f4-e0d081123e36","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d1c38b83-65be-4ff8-b46c-1e9aebace1d8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

Meanwhile, users experiencing burn-in should reach out to Apple for a replacement, and everyone should take steps to prevent image retention from becoming permanent burn-in.
