Does Night Shift cause burn-in?

Why Night Shift likely isn't the culprit behind burn-in on iPhones:

Night Shift itself shouldn't cause permanent burn-in on your iPhone. Burn-in occurs when static images are displayed on the screen for extended periods, causing uneven wear on the pixels. While Night Shift does shift the colors towards a warmer tone, it doesn't keep a single image on the display constantly.

What's more likely to cause burn-in?

• Static images for long periods: Games with fixed UI elements, navigation apps, or constantly displaying certain apps are more likely to cause burn-in.
• High brightness: Using your iPhone at very high brightness levels for extended periods can also accelerate burn-in.

Tips to prevent burn-in:

• Adjust screen timeout: Set your iPhone to turn off the screen automatically after a short period of inactivity.
• Reduce brightness: Keep your screen brightness at a comfortable level, avoiding unnecessary high settings.
• Auto-brightness: Utilize auto-brightness to let your iPhone adjust the screen illumination based on ambient light.

By following these tips, you can minimize the risk of burn-in on your iPhone, regardless of Night Shift usage.
