Screen burn in iPhone 13 Pro max(photos)

So to start out, I always have auto brightness turned on. I’m on a phone call a lot at work, about 5-10 hours per day, so the active call screen is up a lot. I’ve had this phone for almost 2 years I think.


I noticed today that it seems I have screen burn in. It’s very noticeable with anything that has a dark background.

Is there a fix for this? Never thought this would happen to an iPhone. I thought they designed the software to constantly change the display when your phone is locked to prevent this.


These first 3 images are taken of my phone with my wife’s phone to show the burn in.






This one above is a screenshot of one of the photos I was using to show the burn-in. You can’t see a burn-in on a screenshot. Just to prove it really is burn-in and not my background.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

That doesn’t help me at all with my problem unless you’re implying my pictures suck…. I took pictures of my phone with my wife’s phone since you can’t screenshot screen burn since it’s a defect with apples display…

As you can see the Bluetooth/add call/mute/contacts icons that appear during a call are permanently burned into my screen. I’m asking if there’s a way to fix this without paying Apple to replace my screen….. I know how to use a camera…..
