My iPhone 15 Pro’s display is starting to burn out even though it’s not even two weeks old.

Last night I once again decided to turn on YouTube for the night. By then it was already dark, and I saw an unpleasant surprise from my iPhone 15 Pro.

Of course, everything happened in full visibility, the screen brightness was about 10%.

I see some kind of grid is barely visible. I started looking closely and discovered that it was onscreen keyboard fingerprint. I rebooted (suddenly there was a big system light) – it didn’t help.

I took a screenshot just in case. I opened it in the Photos app, started moving back and forth, nothing changed. Then I decided to just look at the usual gray background to see what was happening with the hood, and then everything fell into place.

I have been using a new iPhone since September 24, 2023. That is, from the moment of purchase not even two weeks have passed! I did not perform any constant stress tests; I used it in normal mode, like all previous iPhones.

Catching a fallen keyboard on camera turned out to be quite problematic. I had to play with the lighting to provide this for you, so don’t blame me for the quality of the photo.

Of course, for now this is only barely made halo batteries. But over time, the situation will only get worse and become even more visible.

To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen (and everyone in the editorial office too) a new iPhone burning out in such a short period of time to highlight it.

Now I have already disabled Always-On-Display so that other elements do not get imprinted on the screen.

I also do not check that there may be another factor in the screen burn-in factor. heating iPhone 15 Prowhich Apple has been fixing all this time.

I will resolve the issue with warranty service – I will not check that this is a display defect (or maybe it will even be corrected over time, which I still have little faith in). Although Apple has partially withdrawn from Russia, it is now providing support to sellers. Let’s see what happens. If the situation changes, we will definitely talk about it.
