    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

      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.
