Imagine sitting in the car in the brightest sunshine and using Google maps or Apple maps for hours. The fixed areas of the map could definitely burn in, or am I wrong?
Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
 
Caps might be appropriate if you actually experienced burn in. Maybe. But as a hypothetical question? An effort at sensationalism.
 
I’ll say this much, I used to have a Galaxy Note 2 that sat in the dock every day, with the screen on all day with the dock app running which shows weather and notifications. The Note 2 used An AMOLED screen (similar to OLED) and I think it was the first phone to use that screen. Anyway, the phone ran that way for years, and never had any burn-in, and I’d imagine the screens these days are much more resistant to burn-in than the older ones like on the Note 2.

AMOLED is used starting from Galaxy S and there's no way Note 2 has never had Burn-In issue

Not correct. Both AMOLED and OLED have the very same potential for screen burn-in, and both use the same organic layer that is the component of the display that creates the risk of burn-in. My Note 2 manual clearly warns about it. All Samsung models with AMOLED screens can, and have, sustain burn-in damage. The newer models are at less risk because software algorithms shift pixels on stationary screen objects to minimize the risk.

Now my first Note was the Note 3, it had horrendous burn-in across the top after about 8 months and that was my personal phone which saw little usage. No matter what I was doing, there's the status bar with icons. I did a warranty replacement with Verizon and the replacement had worse burn-in of the status bar than my initial phone did. Took me 3 replacements to get one that was acceptable. After that I went to iPhone (not because of burn-in, just to change up) and stayed with iPhone since. Also worth mentioning, I was issued a Note 5 from my job, and guess what happened? Yup burn-in again. I'm surprised you never had issues with your Note 2.
