Reply to comment by janxb in The ultimate screen protector for iPhones! by markaznar

I recommend Flolab screen protectors, they're not cheap, but not too expensive either (20$). Quality is great for the iPhone screen protectors and they have lifetime warranty, if you break the screen protector, they'll give you a free one you just pay the shipping fee.

I’ve used them on all my iPhones and all my friends and family use them too. I had no problem with the warranty either, it's an automated process you don't have to wait for someone to process it.

Reply to comment by AppleXOS in My iPhone XS is showing some hidden icons (it looks like tiktok) Is it sunburned? by LukasEleven

If you use your screen to watch a ton of movies and the aspect ratio leaves you with black bars on the top and bottom, you’ll get burn in from the middle of the screen even if the middle has all dynamic images.

Even if you use the whole screen, say if a portion of the screen tends to use saturated color more than the rest of the screen, you’ll get burn in even if everything is non-static.

All burn in is is the uneven brightness of the screen due to the degradation of pixels. Having a static image is just the most common way for burn in to happen, NOT the only way.

> Update 05/31/2019: The TVs have been running for over 9000 hours (around five years at 5 hours every day). Uniformity issues have developed on the TVs displaying Football and FIFA 18 and are starting to develop on the TV displaying Live NBC. Our stance remains the same: we don't expect most people who watch varied content without static areas to experience burn-in issues with an OLED TV.

Even though it’s rare for your average consumer, dynamic images still can and will cause burn ins. And this test doesn’t take into account for black bars and someone displaying content that has more saturated content in one portion of the screen over the other (it does talk about how each sub pixels degrade at different speed though)
