iPhone 15 Screen Burned.. New Update Solves The Problem

Updated on Friday 10/20/2023 07:05 PM Abu Dhabi Time

Since its launch last September, the iPhone 15 series has been plagued by several flaws amid reports from customers around the world.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone Pro Max users are facing a new issue related to screen burn-in, causing images to appear blurry on the background of their phones.

In turn, Apple is said to be trying to fix the flaw in the new iOS 17.1 operating system update.

Screen burn-in is a faint, visible mark of an app, text, or image that appears on the screen regardless of what’s displayed, and is caused by leaving the same image on the screen for too long.

According to Forbes, many users of the new phones took to social media to report the problem, with one TikTok user posting a viral video showing the app’s screen burning issue on his phone.

The new iOS 17.1 update, which is expected to be released soon, is expected to fix this issue as the beta version was already released to developers earlier this week, according to Mashable.

Also, a Reddit user who claimed to have access to the iOS 17.1 beta shared images of his screen before and after the update, which seems to have fixed the issue.

This problem doesn’t just affect phones, all devices with an OLED screen are vulnerable, and any TV that stays on the same channel for a long time will be affected.

While users can’t fix screen burn-in themselves, there are ways to minimize or prevent the problem until an update is released.

Videos on YouTube offer troubleshooting tips, which usually involve moving the screen quickly to eliminate screen burn-in effects.

Another option is to turn off the phone for at least two hours and give the pixels some rest.

Also, lowering the screen brightness can help solve this problem because when the screen is bright, the pixels have to work harder, making the phone more prone to screen burn-in.

You can lower the screen brightness by swiping down on the right side and accessing the Control Center or by going to the Settings app and accessing the Display & Brightness menu.

Dark mode can be used to prevent screen burn-in, which has been proven useful as the screen can become dark if the user continues to use the iPhone at maximum brightness. You can enable this mode through the Settings app under the Display & Brightness section.

Another preventative measure is to enable auto-lock mode. This feature allows users to select a specific time period (between 30 seconds and five minutes) during which the screen will remain on and idle before eventually dimming and locking. You can enable the auto-lock feature from the Display and Brightness menu in Settings.

Screen burn-in isn’t the only problem new iPhones face.

Since the phone’s launch on September 22, customers have reported various issues including the phone heating up, which Apple says is caused by recent updates to third-party apps like Instagram and Uber.

Apple released iOS 17.0.3 on October 4 to fix an issue that caused the iPhone to heat up more than expected.

There have been other complaints about the new phones breaking easily. Some newer phones also crash, especially during the setup process. Some users stumble upon the Apple logo and choose to transfer data from an old phone to a new iPhone, the company said.

Prior to the release of iOS 17.0.2, which fixed this issue, Apple recommended restoring the new phone to a computer, installing any new software updates, and then retrying the data transfer process.

Bieber Brings “iMessage” to Android Devices Due to Apple’s Privacy Infringement

Sunday 10 December 2023 / 13:04

Weeks after the failure of the NothingChats and Sunbird apps, the app Paper Mini announced the possibility of using iMessage for Android devices due to concerns about the privacy of users of Messages, an instant messaging service only available on Apple devices.

CNET.com, a website specializing in technology topics, notes that the Pepper Mini application is a successor to the original Pepper application, now named Pepper Cloud.

Like the original Sunbird or Paper applications, the Paper Mini application connects directly to the iMessage network without requiring a permanent connection to Apple Mac Mini devices. Therefore, the Pepper Mini does not require an Apple ID, although having this ID will allow the user to access the iMessage service via the Pepper Mini and Apple devices such as Macs and iPads.
Pepper says it supports several key features of iMessage using methods such as end-to-end message encryption, typing indicators, replying to posts and group chats.

Pepper was developed independently of Apple, and it is impossible to continue to offer all the features that Apple offers to iMessage users on iPhone smartphones and other devices manufactured by the American company.
Meanwhile, the original Pepper app has a waiting list of users who want to access it.

Original Pepper allows you to access the iMessage service using any Mac device while connected to another messaging app, such as WhatsApp.

Pepper Mini can be downloaded from Google’s Play Store without waiting, but the developer gets a $2 monthly subscription after a 7-day free trial period.

Faces Windows 10 Windows 11 is a new problem because operating systems rename printers to HP LaserJet printers, and the technology company notes that the issue affects devices running Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems running the 22H2 update.

How does this issue affect users?

Because of this issue, printers connected to Windows devices automatically install the HP Smart app and are renamed even if they are not HP devices, and the tech company confirmed that it has already started investigating the issue.

Microsoft has suggested that this issue is not caused by an HP update, but instead is a Windows problem. However, this issue does not stop printers from printing, and Windows 10/11 users can continue printing, but users try to double-click on the printer and get a “no jobs for this page” error. Get the message.

In a support note, Microsoft says: “Some issues have been observed with printer configurations on Windows devices that access the Microsoft Store. Microsoft will investigate this issue and work with partners to resolve it. Manufacturer.” Most are named after the HP LaserJet M101-M106 model, and the printer icons can also be changed.

Unaffected printers

There are some workarounds to prevent printers from being automatically renamed and settings can be enabled. For example, if your IT administrator blocks the use of the Microsoft Store, printers will not be renamed. In such cases, the HP Smart app will not be installed automatically.

However, it’s important to note that this isn’t the first time Windows and printers have had problems with each other. In March 2021, a blue screen appeared on some printers on computers due to a Windows update, and Microsoft was able to act quickly. Fix the problem.

A few months later, a serious, unpatched flaw appeared in the Windows Print Spooler service. Fixing this security issue caused some printers to stop working completely. The latest renaming fix is expected to be much less problematic.
