I've been hearing how burn in isn't an issue for years, but every phone I've had has had burn in. So I make sure to avoid apps that has a persistent UI if they are ones I'd use frequently.
I wouldn't notice in normal use cases then be surprised when I read manga or webtoons on the display.
I've not had a single phone that's suffered burn in.
Regardless, I'd trust someone who reviews displays for a living over my own anecdote.
The one group I can think of that actually tests burn in is rtings and they do that for TVs and monitors.
Phone reviewers just cycle through multiple phones so are the least reliable not using one phone as often or as long as regular people. Especially even more now that how long people retain phones has gone up with price increases.
Which actually has me wondering. How long do you typically use phones. Some upgrade every year. Some every 2. I've upgraded maybe on average 3 years or longer. So long it was the reason I shifted to custom roms in the past as security updates stopped. And getting nav burn taught me to try things like auto hide it.
I still have a oneplus 6 I use as a back up which is a phone that came out 7 years ago. Not sure how many years I've had it, but that's got burn in couple years ago. Do you use phones that long?
