How To Check Screen Burn In On iPhone 15 Pro

Start by checking the lower edge where gesture bars, browser controls, and keyboard rows spend the most time. Then inspect the status area at the top because network, battery, and app icons can create faint outlines after heavy use.

Gray and white screens are usually the best first pass for phone burn-in because they reveal subtle shadows that colorful wallpapers can hide.

A dedicated homepage built for full-screen color testing is more reliable than a random video because the colors are intentional, static, and easy to repeat later. That matters when you want to confirm if a ghost image is real or just a scene in the video.

The homepage also keeps the workflow simple: open Safari, go full screen, cycle through patterns, and compare the same areas every time.

If the marks fade after normal use, you may be seeing temporary image retention rather than permanent burn-in. If the outlines remain across multiple color screens and on multiple days, the issue is much more likely to be fixed wear on the OLED pixels.

For resale, the homepage gives you a transparent way to document the phone condition before listing the device.
