Hello!
This is my first time having an OLED phone with my iPhone 12.
I have read a lot of times about OLED burning in and other things about it, but should i be taking care of the phone on any level? or change backgrounds?
Im asking because the other time i was washing my car and i left my phone playing music with the youtube music app with a bluetooth speaker and almost always the screen turns off right away, but for some reason when i came back 45-55 min the screen was on, should I be worried about having the name of the songs being burn in? thanks in advance hopefully im not being paranoid.
 
depends on the weather, you have it facing up when it's a sunny day, at max brightness under all that heat in the summer, maybe not once or twice but a couple times, you could certainly get burn in.
At night when it's at minimum brightness? you could keep going for 20 years without significant burn in.
Much like anything else that gets worse over time, depends on how hard you're working it.
 
I've been using OLED phones for years and they all have the perfect screen. I simply leave the automatic brightness and take the icons and the design as it comes from the factory. And with 4 years I have a Oneplus 3t without problems of any kind
