So now, rather than "hahaha Pixel 2 owners - SUCK IT!" it's the far less satisfying "hahaha Pixel 2 owners - our displays burn in somewhat less than yours !"?

Apple Says Minor Screen Burn-In and Shifts in Color When Looking at iPhone X Off-Angle Are Normal

And people complained that it took so long for Apple to switch to OLED. Imagine the problems if they switched earlier while OLED problems with retention where higher, color accuracy was lower, and inconsistent color was more of an issue.
Apple users are a truly picky bunch (for good reasons at the prices paid), so I am not surprised to see outrage over what is the norm for this type of Tech. At least they didn't buy LG panels for this round.
FWIW you mean Pixel 2 XL.

OLED displays lose less brightness with viewing angle change than LCDs.
All OLED TVs for sale now use white pixels with RGB (and clear) filters. I assume this makes them less susceptible to color change with viewing angle. Phone OLED panels directly emit light in RGB.

dear iphone friends, welome to 2008, erm 2017!
in order to prevent premature burn ins on your new samsung screen, follow these tips:
-use dynamic and dark wallpapers (light wallpapers are very 2007 - go take advantage of those deep blacks and contrasts!)
-use immersive mode whenever possible, in order to hide the menu bar icons (battery, signal strength, etc.) and the dock.
- avoid full screen brightness all the time - or for prolonged times (preferably use auto-brightness if you use the phone indoors often). this will help with the battery too!
you will find the OLED pannels highly more enjoyable than LCD, and if you take care of it, it will last for many years to come !!

Ok, but if anyone is seeing screen burn already then that’s a serious problem!

There is no way to fix burn-in other than displaying the inverse of the image which caused it for the same amount of time at the same intensity.
The anti-burn-in features you’re referring to are essentially just a placebo carry-over from plasma panels, which (in addition to true burn in) could suffer from temporary image retention which could be cleared by things like those sweeping white bar patterns (they were mostly just a placebo in that case too).
Your understanding is incorrect. Organic LEDs have a very high decay rate, much faster than plasma cells. When a high contrast image is displayed, the bright subpixels decay much faster than the dark ones. One of many reasons I’ve never been a fan of OLED outside of TVs, where you aren’t generally going to display static content and so won’t have a problem.
OLED would be a terrible display tech to use in any device that’s used for work more than content consumption as a result. It’s fine for the watch, which is almost always off, and for most users it’s acceptable for a phone, but YMMV depending on how much static UI display you usage entails.

If you're unhappy with your purchase, don't complain, just return it. Problem solved for you, and it will make the eventual recipient of your horrible X very happy. A win-win!
This assume, of course, you actually made the purchase. But then, if you didn't actually buy it, why would you be complaining?
Wasn't the whole idea of Apple not using OLED screens for years and years when the competition was was in effort to resolve issues like this and have the best screen out there? LOL.
They truly are just playing catch up. There was no masterful scheme or strategy to the design and updates of their devices.
You might want to re-read my post. Pretty sure I haven’t said anywhere that I’m personally unhappy with the device. I’m merely commenting on Apples communication with its customer base. Thanks
Right, that's a good tool... you burn in the rest of the screen to match what was burned in.
Tackling? I wouldn't exactly call it tackling. They are telling customers not to complain about the display if it has problems, because its normal... i.e., "you are looking at it wrong".
Waze gives you your speed, among other things. After CarPlay for a year or so, I'm enjoying the switch to Android Auto in all aspects except one... you can't take over using the phone like you can with CarPlay.
Actually no you can't fix it but you can hide it. Burn in in an OLED is the result of a degradation or aging of the organic material. The only thing you might possibly do is to supply another image that burns in the rest of the pixels on the display.
'Don't worry. They all do that, Sir. Its quite normal. And notchi...sorry.. nothing to worry about'
It is a characteristic of OLED displays, nothing is being hidden from you here.
Can't wait for Burningate in a few days.

Just got my X an hour ago and the biggest gripe I have with it is not the notch, or lack of home button, it’s the God awful color shift that occurs from standard usage.
I’m picky, I’ll admit that, but it’s much worse than I expected. Since the screen is so much bigger than a standard 8, it’s very apparent. Besides the color shift, the screen is fantastic and I’m really liking the X.
I’m pretty disappointed, as this could turn into a dealbreaker for me and it’s something that wasn’t really discussed prior to launch as an issue. I’m using Jump so I can trade this back in whenever. We’ll see how I like it in a week’s time. I would highly recommend checking it out in person to see if colorshiftingbothers you. I would suspect most won’t care.

No you have a few tech nerds on a specific forum dedicated to one brand who are complaining. About 90% of the people who bought the Apple iPhone X isn't complaining. Tbh the only way to judge how bad an issue is if the main stream media is making news stories about it.
