Guys? Am I the only person who noticed that the quality of OLED panel this year on iPhone 12 Lineup are worst compare to iPhone 11 Pro series? Because I noticed that my phone has burn-in on the home button and status bar.

P.S I used my phone less than 7 hours per day and I just used it less than a month
 
Sounds like a defective panel. Hard to see how burn in could happen in a months time. Warranty should get it replaced.
it's like very slighty at the status bar and home button but it's quick compare to my iPhone 11 Pro Max

Nothing here on my end yet. My older XS Max started getting the OLED burn back in Spring. I couldn't see it against black colors, but The ONE image I really noticed the burn was this solid bright green image.

I saved this on my phone, zoomed in to make the green image completely cover the screen. I was really able to see a few icons that - well, literally left it's mark.

thank you for your information, I will try this again tomorrow since I already turn off my phone may be just to let my display rest.

It’s more than likely image retention which is normal. With the Gray background check the home button and status bar after a few minutes with the background up, if it fades that’s image retention
 
On the 12 pro or other models with an oled screen, does the apple care + warranty allow you to change the screen if it burn in?
 
do you guys used your screen at full brightness ? I would cut the screen brightness down to 40 50% less chance you get screen burn in unless you really want that full brightness
