    Could someone please explain what this means to this poor lost soul?

      I’m guessing the joke here is that due to iPhones having text and icons in the same places on many screens this leads to more cases of Screen Burn-in. The image shows an iPhone displaying a white image that then highlights this fault with the phone and the title makes a joke comparing these always visible marks on the screen to the ‘always-on’ feature where the screen displays information even when the screen is ‘off’.

        Oh dear! Do they really get any burn-in? Is there a reason why Apple phones specifically would be susceptible to this? I’ve never heard of the issue on any phones, though.

        As a sidenote: I do notice that the position of my Android AOD design shifts slightly every time, probably to prevent any burn-in.

        No they don’t. They haven’t even been out long enough for an OLED screen to burn in even if it was on 24/7 at full brightness. It’s a bug and it’s fixed in the latest OS update.
