Why do people keep saying this?!?!? Is LG posting here?

It has NOT been solved, not even mosty. Go to a cell phone store and see for yourself.

Actually, i'm not sure that these problems have been solved, I didn't do any testing myself, I just read up on the subject and from my reading it appears that OLED has improved, (but it still may have issues, I'm no expert). But I do know that the original OLED screens I saw (c.2010) were horrible, horrible! I mean really bad!

So they have come a looooooong way, but they still may be a few feet short of the finish line. Hopefully Apple irons out any of these issues BEFORE they begin shipping phones with OLED screens

Absolutely ridiculous statement. I manage a team of people in Italy, USA and Belgium from Amsterdam, do you want me to shout at them really loud all day from a window?

yes

Some people have business to run which include a lot of emailing, texting, phone calls, hot spot. That's before we get into, what appears to the only thing you use a smart phone for, which is socializing. Some of us also like catching up on news/sports during a lunch break and then perhaps at the end of the day going to the gym and using that same phone they used for emailing, texting, phone calls, hot spot, social networking, news and sports as a fitness device. Be it simply for music, or music and other aspects of training.

You may not have a whole lot going on in your day to day life, which is fine, but please don't make the mistake of assuming everyone's life is just as simplistic.

Well thanks for the unsolicited life advice, meanwhile there are many use cases where heavy use or being away from an outlet is a reasonable scenario and what's more, this is 8h of use OR less when coupled with background tasks, such as listening to music, GPS tracking (activity trackers or navigation), it's also a lot less when you consider that 8h is the battery life on day one, not on day 500 or 600 before your contract allows for a new phone. (hello (officially) user-unservicable battery!)
It's also a lot less if you try to stay in the sweet range of 20-80, which is considered the optimal charge level for Li-Ion batteries to avoid excessive wear.
So if you actually try to keep your battery in tiptop shape you'll have 40% battery life less! Of course everyone's charging up to 100% and the effect of going there is probably not as bad as going down to 0% regularly (0% as displayed, because technically iPhones don't go down to0%, they shut off a little before that because an actual empty battery is a huge risk to the battery's lifespan, especially when stored for prolonged periods of time) - but all that's still 20% less if you want to have a balanced battery life vs. wear ratio.

Do you honestly think people are perma-using their iPhones 8 hours a day, everyday and lack all social contact?
Come on. So many factors to run a battery down. A battery doesn't hold an 8 hour charge, it holds an n mAh charge, which can be used for SO MANY DIFFERENT things that the 8h figure can be highly misleading.


I hate to break it to you, but their pro-sumer and professional products take the backseat (of a BUS) now.
It's all about the "can I get it in rose-gold?"/"do you have the Edition Watch in stock"-fashion demographic now.
The computer-illiterate is where the money's at.
When they now claim that they want to make their hardware for everyone, they really mean everyone but those who know specs.
One might say that Apple's never been about winning spec wars and to SOME extend it's true, but that was also the Apple that made things an appliance and affordable, taking into account that after quality of service, ACTUAL reliability and well crafted materials the surcharge over Windows PCs was very much justified, all of this is watered down and us folks seem not too welcome anymore.
We're class B citizens, we're still being dragged along but without any real effort.

As my signature pointed out I wrote that ramble on my Mac, so battery life of my iPhone was not affected.

Try having a life, and you won't feel the incessant need to respond to 3 week old posts that everyone (but you) forgot about and moved on from.

His post history tells you all you need to decide whether or not to ignore him in the future.

Just an update: I needed a new cell phone so I went to the t-mobile store and looked at phones.
The Samsung s6 had the worst burn in I have ever seen. I could completely read the home screen when I was in the browser! Clear as day... except it was supposed to be the google home page!.

AND this phone can't be that old... it's reasonably new.

So apparently OLED still has a way to go in regards to burn in.

your just mad because you spend 8+ hours a day on your phone instead of socializing........and that 37 people agreed with me already

I was going to ask you where you learned to count, but that implies you learned to count...

Sure if iphone was on display and kept on maximized brightness all day for extended periods of time, u would probably see burn in too especially since it doesn't have a variable refresh rate.

While not impossible, it's quite rare to see burn-in, or more accurately, image retention on an LCD screen since there is nothing to "burn" You have a white backlight and liquid crystals that rotate to block or allow light to pass through which make up the colors you see on the screen.
