In layman's terms, 'Burn In', sometimes informally called 'screen burn', is when an image or part of an image remains visible even after being switched off or when the screen moves to another image. This phenomenon is more like a ghost or phantom image lingering on your screen, which can be a nuisance, especially for a device that costs a bomb.

Some iPhone 15 Pro Max users shared that their screens were exhibiting similar traits, in spite of OLED being a relatively latest technology.

## Possible Solutions to Mitigate OLED 'Burn-In'


Now that we know what OLED Burn-In is and how it has affected some users of iPhone 15 Pro Max, what can we do about it?


Remember, this ghostly appearance of residual images can be mitigated with a few simple steps. Here's a list of actions that can be taken.


1. **Reduce Screen Timeout**: Set the display to turn off after a shorter period of inactivity.
