OLED image retention

I just bought the iPhone 12 Pro Max and have noticed that after using the phone for a little while, the home bar and other images faintly remain on the display but go away after a while. It’s almost like burn in but it doesn’t last forever. Is this normal for an OLED iPhone?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Problem with OLED Hello! I recently (7 days ago) bought an iPhone 12 Pro! iOS 14.7.1 When the Dark mode is on, when scrolling from the bottom of the lines, lilac colors are left! The phone is brand new! I searched all over the Internet and found that almost 56% of people have this problem with black colors! I need an answer: These are iOS bugs or glitches, or a problem with the OLED displays themselves. In the picture below, all this is poorly visible! (It's just impossible to add a video file to make everything clear to you)

Thank you for the response. So my display isn’t defective or anything?
