Honesty I'm a little bit concerned if they swich Macs as that will be a pretty good indicator of how resistive to OLED burn in modern panels are. A device you scroll social media and watch videos on is one thing. But for a lot of people you will have the same static elements on screen for hours at a time on a laptop or desktop.
Well honesty it would be kinda amusing to watch apple have to give out a bunch of free oled panels if lot's of people get bad burn in.
My ultra cynical take is that burn-in is a business feature that will force people to repair or upgrade sooner rather than later.
I mean they already do it with their cables. Especially mag safe chargers as you can't remove the cable
Yeah as a developer I feel like my IDE is going to burn in.
Just don't resize the panels and yur good. If you never display anything else burn in won't be an issue.
And since you code so fast the characters won't burn in.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ok but what if the ide gets redesigned
Ohhh I guess you will have to maintain a fork of the old ui. 😬 So better use an oss IDE.
Not ideal.
Burn in is pretty much a solved problem now. I have several OLED devices that each display static graphics and there is no visible burn in.
Are you sure they’re turned on? Not that they’ve burned in the static graphics :)
Really ? even after, like, three years of daily use ?
Yep! My OLED TV has sat around at 100% brightness with a taskbar sitting there for more than 5 years. No burn in at all. I've even watched those "burn in tester" videos to try to find it on purpose, too. I can't notice a thing.
That’s amazing! I’ve been living in fear of my super expensive OLED TV getting burn-in. I turn it off during software updates, etc. Now maybe I can de-stress a little.
i've had my lg oled tv as a pc monitor for 3 years. daily use, mostly 60% brightness, no burn-in at all.
Especially considering they have a top menu bar and launcher always in the same place. Burn-in will be visible within a year, if not sooner. However Apple will give nothing for free, not unless there's a threat of class action lawsuit.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On the flip side, it could be a blow to display makers that do not have much presence in this segment, including JDI and Sharp of Japan, and AUO and Innolux of Taiwan.
Apple has also started evaluating the possibility of making foldable iPads after it deploys the flexible OLED screens on the tablet, but it does not have a concrete timeline for doing so, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Huawei, for instance, has been a significant driver of this trend, which in turn has helped strengthen the Chinese display supply chain.
Having both the industry leaders using OLED for their tablets would likely convince other brands to follow suit, further stimulating supply chain investments for the technology.
The rising penetration of OLED in the smartphone, tablet and personal computer markets will "inevitably" add pressure on the traditional LCD display suppliers, the analyst said.
"It is unavoidable that we will see more LCD display makers downsizing their capacity of the screen with the use of OLED is growing in the market," Fan said.

OLED iPad would be sick, that's the only flaw with my 2020 iPad Pro
I'm still rocking my 2017 iPad Pro, and honestly until this announcement, the only thing I really felt I was missing was the USB-C port.
I might finally have enough of a reason to upgrade now
Yea Lightning sucks haha, that'll be a nice upgrade
Because they need new reasons to keep prices artificially high, not because of consumer preferences.
