      My ultra cynical take is that burn-in is a business feature that will force people to repair or upgrade sooner rather than later.

        Just don’t resize the panels and yur good. If you never display anything else burn in won’t be an issue.

        And since you code so fast the characters won’t burn in.

      Burn in is pretty much a solved problem now. I have several OLED devices that each display static graphics and there is no visible burn in.

        Are you sure they’re turned on? Not that they’ve burned in the static graphics :)

          Yep! My OLED TV has sat around at 100% brightness with a taskbar sitting there for more than 5 years. No burn in at all. I’ve even watched those “burn in tester” videos to try to find it on purpose, too. I can’t notice a thing.

            That’s amazing! I’ve been living in fear of my super expensive OLED TV getting burn-in. I turn it off during software updates, etc. Now maybe I can de-stress a little.

      Especially considering they have a top menu bar and launcher always in the same place. Burn-in will be visible within a year, if not sooner. However Apple will give nothing for free, not unless there’s a threat of class action lawsuit.
