    Wouldn’t that not be enough though? It should help in a lot of places, particularly the bar itself and the digits. But I’d be concerned that the center of the battery indicator and the wifi icon would still burn in.

    Or maybe people just don’t keep their phones charged.

      Modern OLEDs have other burn-in prevention features too, like subtle logo dimming and built-in screensavers. They also do what’s called “pixel refreshing” when the panel is turned off. Not quite sure how that works.

      Really the only way to get burn-in on a modern OLED is to turn off all the protection features, crank the brightness to near-max (never needs to be done in indoor environments), and leave a static image displaying on the screen for several hours at a time. Dude literally has to be on XVideos all day long, every day, several days in a row, for this to happen.
