iphone 16 screen burn in after 3 days of use

I have bought an iphone 16 3 days ago,and i am noticing slight burn in of the battery icon,signal icon,wi-fi icon and swipe bar.

Is it a software issue?since i don’t think a screen can get burn in in 3 days

iPhone 16, iOS 18

Do you have your screen at full brightness? It’s almost impossible to get burn in/retention after just 3 days of normal use. This is sounding like a defective screen.


Id like to see screen shots too, please.

Hello, I just bought my brand new IPhone 15 plus 6 days ago, I realized that my iPhone has burn in or image retention after 2 days of use, I wonder why this can happen,even though I don't use the iPhone with heavy applications just regular social media and even then not for long,and I always use it at very low brightness, do you have any solution for my iPhone?
