Is there a chance of burn-in with the new iPhones pro always on display?
 
Burn-ins usually happen when a constant image is displayed for prolonged time periods in high brightness. Takes much longer at that brightness level.
 
I’m just curious, because unlike a tv, the phone’s display is on, almost 24/7
 
It does turn off in a handful of scenarios if it helps. But at that brightness level you should be safe from the burn-ins.

Unlike a TV, the iPhone isn't connected to an unlimited power source. And nobody leaves iPhone untouched for weeks on end. There is also a direct relationship between brightness and image persistence.
