Hi there AbuSarp,

We can provide some information.

To start, this is normal behavior for the Super Retina XDR Display on your iPhone.

If you look at an OLED display off-angle, you might notice slight shifts in color and hue. This is a characteristic of OLED and is normal behavior. With extended long-term use, OLED displays can also show slight visual changes. This is also expected behavior and can include “image persistence” or “burn-in,” where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This can occur in more extreme cases such as when the same high contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time.

Have a look at this support article to learn more: About the Super Retina display and Super Retina XDR display on your iPhone

Keeping that in mind, you'll want to be sure to follow the suggestions in the 'Get the most out of the Super Retina and Super Retina XDR displays' section of the link above.

Cheers.
