Just weeks following the launch of the iPhone 15 Pro, users have come forward to report display issues, specifically related to OLED technology.
Burn-in: a downside for OLED screens
OLED technology, for all its advantages in terms of image quality and striking contrasts, has an Achilles heel: the burn-in. In English, this term refers to the phenomenon by which certain images or icons displayed for long periods end up being embedded on the screen, thus becoming visible even when the image changes. It’s a bit like a “fingerprint” left on the screen.
Although all OLED displays are potentially vulnerable to this phenomenon, technological advances have made it possible to put protective measures in place. Apple, in particular, claimed to have integrated features allowing the screen brightness to be automatically adjusted to prevent burn-in.

However, with the iPhone 15 Pro, some users report that these protections seem to be failing, in particular on gray backgrounds where the burn-in is particularly visible.
The Always On, guilty or scapegoat?
One of the features pointed out by users is the always-on display mode, or Always On. Introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro models, this function allows the screen to remain on permanently, although dimly, to display certain essential information such as the time or notifications.
While this feature can be convenient, some users feel that it might contribute to burn-in issues. Indeed, prolonged and repeated exposure of the same elements on the screen might promote their encrustation.
iOS 17.1 to the rescue
Faced with the problems encountered by certain users, Apple seems to have taken matters into its own hands. The imminent release of the iOS 17.1 update might well be the solution you’ve been waiting for. According to the feature notes provided by the Apple brand for this update, the software fixes an issue that might cause the displayed image to persist, therefore suggesting a direct response to problems with burn-in mentioned.
But iOS 17.1 doesn’t stop there. The update aims to improve the overall user experience by addressing a series of other bugs encountered. Notable fixes include addressing an issue that might reset the location privacy setting when first signing in or transferring to an Apple Watch. In addition, those who had difficulty finding their personalized ringtones will be delighted: a bug preventing these ringtones from being displayed as options for an SMS alert has also been fixed. All that remains is to wait for the official deployment of this update to judge its effectiveness.
