iOS 11 includes software to avoid burn-in on iPhone X OLED screen

No. The auto-brightness switch is now under Accessibility-Display Accommodations, or you can search in the Settings app.
Could this also be a way for Apple to prevent people from keeping their iPhone X at max brightness all of the time by hiding the toggle? Annoying but clever way to hinder burn-in.
Hmm. My guess is the app developer will change it to subtly move the pixels and the information around the screen...
For the record, I have no way of actually knowing and no one does. It's baked into the software code that Apple has some kind of burn-in mitigation going on, but we don't know what that means and they will likely never tell us exactly what that means. For now, why take the risk with the history of OLED burn-in? Pixel shifting could be the mitigation Apple has implemented, but do developers have to update their app so that pixel shifting works, or does it just work? And how effective will it be with a constant image being shown? A lot of unknowns, so again, why risk it?
Why is this a no-no? You have warrenty, apple isnt difficult with replacing iphones in the past under warrenty.
Go for it, but dont start doing it before warrenty expires.
