Yup I did, just like I did saw plenty of mobile oled screen and it’s not an issue for me, I tend to use the device facing me, If I tilt my iPad it become darker and ava pannel tv become greysh and yet I’m alive!

Oh boy here we go with the anecdotal evidence rather than scientific hard facts. Thanks for the laughsI have/had numerous OLED devices and also Hands on experience with OLED TVs (also plasma and various LCDs) so I have a pretty good idea how better OLED is vs old tech which is LCD.
the only issue of OLED is image retention which in theory is a problem but in reality it's minor a very small price for the advantages of OLED.there is difference between good and tunes OLED and the ones that are not properly tuned and oversaturated.
the OLED in iPhone X is excellent, it's tuned and there is no over saturated colour or such.
It really doesn't matter how some nay sayer still feel,Apple has finally moved on to OLED finally and its the BEST thing about iPhone X.
All the panels in my house are OLED with the exception of ipads. No matter what marketing ******** Apple is saying about iPhone display, the truth is that burnin and retention it’s inherent to the technology and they can’t do anything about it.
I’ve seen the iPhone in store and I believe that off axis color shift is due to screen coating and older display. I’m guessing that they’ve bought an 3 year old panel from Samsung and changed the color mapping, which is a known practice that Apple is doing for quite some time. Side by side with an S8 the difference is evident, disregarding the fact that S8 is almost twice as bright. I hope that the next iPhone iterations will be on par with Samsung, but I wouldn’t hold my breath, since Samsung makes the best mobile displays and they will always reserve their best for their flagships.

To me this is a real bummer, as I am really OCD about this ****. I got the burn in on all my Samsung devices after a few months. Granted, it was only obvious when I was looking for it. But it was there nonetheless. I specifically went with the 8 Plus this year because of Touch ID and the almost perfect LCD.
But I think it will be the last iPhone to come with an LCD and I am really not looking forward to 2018

Conversely ive not had burn in on any of my OLED panel phones and i've owned alot of them. My current S8+ has had alot of static images left on it as well, I've really not been careful to avoid it and its still perfect 6 months later.To me this is a real bummer, as I am really OCD about this ****.

Same here, but keep in mind that S8 has a panel 2 or 3 generations ahead of the one in iPhone. Eventually the screen will get burnin, but by that time you will probably change your phone anyway.
funny how consumers need to constantly keep the brightness in mind to protect the screen on a $1000 device
It‘s not a bug - it‘s a feature. They‘ll call it the „memory display“.
I was going to buy an X, but I decided to get two Samsung 55" 4K UHD Smart TV's instead. No animated excrement, but that's the life choice I made.

Huh, when the Google Pixel 2 XL was shown to have this issue, this was a problem...

BurnInKit API coming soon.

Apple fans used to loath AMOLED displays for this reason all these 8-9 years since Samsung first introduced it in its first edition of Galaxy Mobile. This is the reality for those who parted $1500 for this mobile, learn to live with it!!

Are you saying that Apple has been using inferior display all these years? Because OLED displays have been implemented in mobiles for more than 8-9 years and was quite popular in other premium brands.

My Panasonic 50 inch Plasma is 9 years old, no burn in at all. It also still produces far better and real looking pictures than a lot of LCD screens out there. The LCD's may be retina burning bright but does n't make them better, just couldn't plasma screens bezel less and super thin. Not sure what I will get when this dies.
laugh as much as you want,you are stuck in the past.with a single side by side comparison OLED shows superiority vs LCD.only a partially blind person or an arrogant will try to deny it.it’s like saying sun is not brighter than moon..where are your scientific hard facts? send Apple also a copy.(and to all other companies who are implementing this tech)
Well, you know, before I spend 1000 $ on a phone I will make sure it’s worth it
That includes doing some basic research available for anyone who cares to look for it or stopping by an Apple store to check out the phone including the screens viewing angle, contrast, brightness, response time etc or just asking some tech geek who knows better ..
Oled ain’t new technology , just don’t buy if you don’t like it
Apple is just being Apple : a company trying (and succeeding) to sell stuff at the highest price possible people are still willing to pay

People, people, please. "Why didn't Apple tell us this before launch?" Are you serious? People have been bitching about why iPhone doesn't have OLED and NOW they're bitching about screen burn-in? OLED, like many other types of displays are susceptible to burn-in. We're lucky that iOS can simply fade to black when not in use and there's no clock or other image constantly on. There is no screenburngate as this is common in Android phones as well.
Yep, you are saying Samsung phones have had way better displays than the ilhone for the past 8 years.
Hopefully you’ve been consistent and noted on these forums how inferior the iphone display was all those years.
Just to clear the issue up: the reason OLEDs exhibit the behaviour is because the LEDs have a long, but finite lifespan and degrade slowly over time. So, for example, if you were to display blue text on the screen for days, you might notice on a gray background that you would see where that text was. The reason you're seeing it is because the blue LEDs in that region are dimmer than the surrounding blue LEDs.
In practice, it's not something I've noticed on my OLED screens for many years, but I'm sure you could find it if you really looked for it.
"Burn In's are normal"? Tell that to a judge. Im willing to spend the cost on a case to get it replaced under warrenty if that happens, because im pretty sure they wont have any grounds to defend themselfs.
burn-in is a well documented shortcoming of OLED displays, so I'm pretty sure they have a good foot to stand on.
