This Week In XR: Mojo Adds $21 Million To Series A, Hot Take On Quest 3, The Techno Optimist ManifestoThis story was updated on October 20th. Update below.For the uninitiated, some iPhone 15 Pro Max owners were suffering from what seemed to be extreme screen burn-in, otherwise known as image persistence, where a shadow of an image is permanently etched into the display.

In any case, screen burn-in shouldn’t happen after a couple of weeks of use. It normally takes years to be noticeable, especially on a high-end device like the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The way to fix it is often a hardware replacement, not a software update, which suggests that this isn’t an issue of image persistence.

Apple hasn’t given any more detail about what caused the original problem, but we will see if the iOS 17.1 fix works for other affected iPhones when it rolls out to the public next week.There’s another potential bug in iOS 17.0.3 that hasn’t been resolved by the 17.1 update. A few weeks ago several users on Reddit and X/Twitter noticed that their iPhone 15 models were turning off in the middle of the night and silencing notifications, which is causing some iPhone owners to miss their alarms.

iOS 17.1 has fixed other bugs, like the major screen burn-in problem as mentioned above, alongside keyboard responsiveness and the incoming caller prompt not appearing on screen when the user is on another call.
