Status bar and gesture navigation pill burn in on Iphone

Hello! I want to mention one annoying little problem with my iPhone’s oled screen. I’m using my iPhone 13 pro for almost 3 years, and it’s screen hold up exceptionally well, I don’t notice any burn in on main work area of the screen except the bottom navigation bar pill and upper status bar(clock, wifi, battery) They’re burned in heavily :( I used dark theme all the time. So, I spotted the problem which can be resolved by simply dimming down those ui elements. They are constantly glowing bright white all the time, and not changing if you use your phone vertically and in dark mode. So this elements will eventually lose their brightness over time, and will have permanent damage. So if you using your iphone with oled screen at least over one year in dark mode, you will probably have ui elements burn in like in my case. Dear Apple, please consider dimming, or removing by option in settings of those ui elements in further iOS updates. Please like if you’re noticed this little issue on your device too.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18
