- Several users have reported a “screen burn-in” issue on the iPhone 15 series.
- However, this issue is not a hardware bug but an image retention issue on iOS 17.
- iOS 17.1 RC build fixes this image retention issue, and Apple will be rolling out iOS 17.1 in the stable branch to all users very soon.
The iPhone 15 series brings some notable changes to the iPhone lineup, more so than we have seen from Apple in recent years. But alongside these changes also came bugs that severely impacted user experience. The first was the heating issue on the iPhone 15 Pro series that took Apple a while to acknowledge but was then promptly fixed with an iOS 17 update. Users have also been complaining of a “screen burn-in” issue, and the upcoming iOS 17.1 update will fix that, too.
We have been tracking reports of screen burn-in on the iPhone 15 Pro Max for the past two weeks, as several users have reported the same on the Apple subreddit.
