iPhone 12 Ghosting Gate?

[appleuserfan]

Few days on my brand new iPhone 12 and almost every app start doing this (ofc no drops, damages)...
What to do?

When the gate on my fence no longer closes properly due to the ground shifting, I’m going to call it Gategate.

your device is defected. return it

Now that looks rather annoying.
It you perform a soft reset, and try the same thing again, does it still happen?

I'd be curious what Apple will say since they consider "image persistence" to be expected.

With extended long-term use, OLED displays can also show slight visual changes. This is also expected behavior and can include "image persistence" or "burn-in," where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This can occur in more extreme cases such as when the same high contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time. We've engineered the Super Retina and Super Retina XDR displays to be the best in the industry in reducing the effects of OLED "burn-in."

I would either exchange it or have Apple look at it.

FYI tried soft reset/reboot/update apps but still there

I have never seen that. I'd definitely return/exchange it.

Sounds like you're going to have to replace it.
So, before doing so, factory reset and setup as new, and see if it works correctly...

How many days did you have that image stuck on your screen before recording this video 😂

Doesn’t a “gate” imply a conspiracy of some kind. A defect really cannot be a gate until it’s widespread and Apple denies it. People need to stop calling every problem a “gate”.

If you are within the 14 day return window, return it and buy a new one.

Update: returned, got new one and...still has this problem.
Meanwhile another user on Reddit said that has the same problem with his iPhone 12

Defective screen. Get it replaced.

Return ASAP better to wait to get a replacement than be stuck and have to go through Apple repairs.

Wow that’s odd. Software issue maybe?

 

[appleuserfan]

I’m start to thinking that is a software issue, more users are having the same issue and should be fixed in 14.2
