Ha ha, good one
You can clearly see from a mile away that it is a dark wallpaper with Apple logo on it
Lmao, denial.
Now, Two different images within the same thread posting the same burn-in problem.
More excuses?
Got a tip for us?

Yeah... currently with 6 plus...and planning to wait. skipping out too many generations because I didn't think there was enough stuff to pull the 7 plus trigger.
LCD's are signifcantly less prone to burn-in than OLED
Conceptually things that emit light have a tendency to age and dim with use
OLED consists of having many different light sources (one for each pixel) whereas LCD has one unified light source (one for the display)
Therefore, over time an LCD screen will dim uniformly whereas an OLED screen will dim non uniformly based on what content is shown (which light sources or pixels are used)
This non uniform dimming is burn-in
Looks possible, but extraordinary.
Do these people not set these phones to timeout when not being used? Battery preservation and security are not the only benefits.
What other use condition or circumstance would cause this?
Probably impurities in the LCD as it is much more likely to be image persistence (temporary) rather than burn-in (permanent)
For sure!
Me too...
Has anyone heard if that is how Apple Watch Series 2 boasted the "2 1/2 times brighter" or whatever the figure was??
Jesus Christ. Once the iPhone 8 does have OLED the apple fanboys will praise it like the second coming.
Welcome to 2014 Apple. But you knew that you could fleece more customers for a few more years with an LCD panel from 2012.
The big question is whether the cost of the iPhone 8 will rise significantly with a modern display.

Of course it will, because it will only be featured on the Special Anniversary Edition PLUS phone ... cha-ching
I wish Apple would stick to the premium manufacturers. But no. At launch, each year, they put quantity before quality. And I guess they cannot have Samsung producing quality panels for them anymore.
PS. I love my second iPhone 7. I guess I'm lucky to get a faultless, even-tinted screen with only one return.

Best upgrade ever? Probably not. They cannot even get their LCDs right, and they've had 9 years to do it.
Then again, thank god the display is not so important part of smartphones. Apple is wise to focus on the more essential stuff.

Yep. And I'm not willing to sacrifice battery / performance for cheap VRHigher resolution is not helpful when you're holding your phone a foot or two from your eyes. To be able to see the difference, you'd need to hold the phone inches your eyes, with a lens to help you focus on the close display.
So you only need higher resolution if you're going to do something like this:
I have both phones and I notice no difference between the two, other than one is bigger than the other. I have very good eyesight.
I can't believe I'm in this discussion, yet again. I feel like it's the year 2005 with people trying to convince me 1080p is superior to 720p on 42" TVs.

I remember the days when programmers would use two-digits for years, because four-digit years would be too "expensive". They weren't wrong, but there comes a time when the resource costs become less relevant.
At some point cheap VR becomes cheap enough, in terms of highly-optimized resources, that you don't let the resource question hold you back.
I love these 1 in a billion crazy hardware failures used as some sort of proof. Sooooooo good.
Yup and when that time is upon us, I'm sure Apple will upgrade the display for VR when it makes sense to do so.
You forgot to mention VR capabilities. Which apple I bet is working on. You need a super high res screen for this
Let's also not forget that the AMOLED screen in the S7 is considered to be the best display in a smartphone.
It's not simply a race of pixel density, rather there fact OLED looks more natural. Partly because it is, only the required pixels turn on. I have both and the difference is night and day.

Irregardless of a manufacturer's ability to meet quantity demands with quality components, Apple encourages suppliers to compete to drive material expenses down.
It's the only part of the equation that's guaranteed.
I don't think that burn in is going to be a problem for future devices but I can't be certain. OLED is essentially the best possible display with current tech for any display size so long as extreme brightness isn't top priority.
Yep, and apparently, not marginally.
I can see the content on Microsoft surface book a hell of lot sharper than my Dell 1080P screen, because that screen has an insane 3000*2000 resolution.
Your comments reminds me lossless and lossy audio debate, while some claim they are of no difference, others like me believe lossy is lossy, and lossless is lossless.
However screen resolution is not. I can easily distinguish how sharp it is content is shown on a 4K display vs a 1080P display. Sure, we cannot distinguish individual pixels anymore but sharpness is something we still can tell apart pretty easily.
This must be one of your widespread analogies again. Fairly confident it's far less than that. But I'm sure you have no evidence supporting your claim once once again.

I own the 7 and awaiting the 7 Plus. The Plus model only really offers the larger battery, 1080 P screen and the dual camera. It really comes down to the 7 Plus dual camera. I will say their are a lot of smaller upgrades Apple did nicely, with the stereo speakers and haptic home button and the screen looks great on the 7. But there is nothing dramatically revamped on the 7. The 2017 iPhone will be huge. It appears many forum members held off from purchasing the iPhone 7 for next years model.
