Protip, use tiktok dark mode to avoid burn in on OLED screens. You only have to worry about this on every notched iPhone expect the iPhone 11 *and iPhone XR as the others have OLED screens.

It can still happen on non oled screens but by playing a simple “fix stuck pixels” or “fix screen retention” video playing at full brightness for half an hour, you can fix it.

This particular phone is an iPhone XS, which has an OLED screen. That is going to be there forever… (or at least until you replace the screen)

There do exist ways to “fix” OLED burn in and that is by equally burning out all of the pixels around it.

Really, it’s more like fizzling out.

“Fixing” burn in on an OLED screen will almost always leave some remanence of burn in. It will also make the peak brightness a lot darker because it’s making all of the other perfectly working pixels around the burnt in pixels the same brightness basically.

Tell me if I can explain anything better or I’ve messed something up. This is all off of the top of my head and it’s 3am so I’ll edit this to correct any mistakes I have made. Re-reading it now reveals no errors, grammatically or logically.

TL; DR

You’re stuck with burn in forever. Get a screen replacement

You’ve got a grammatical error. A typo probably: 2nd paragraph. I think you mean “by playing”. Had to read that paragraph 4 times. 🙃
