“The iPhone X is the first iPhone with an OLED display, which happens to be the best smartphone display in the world right now,” Chris Smith reports for BGR. “The screen is manufactured by Samsung Display… Samsung display quality coupled with Apple’s tuning appears to be a match made in heaven.”
“But what about screen burn-in? Is that something iPhone X users should worry?” Smith reports. “Absolutely not.”
“It took the iPhone X 510 hours of continuously displaying the exact same image on the iPhone X for burn-in effects to become permanent. That’s Cetizen’s conclusion, and that’s great news for all iPhone X users,” Smith reports. “The screens on the Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S7 Edge, meanwhile, were impacted sooner.”

MacDailyNews Take: As we wrote last November:
It’s a capacity and yield quality issue. It’s also why it took for long for Apple to move to OLED – nobody outsells iPhone, so there was previously no way to get enough quality OLED displays amassed to meet Apple’s demand.
When you see outlets stating the iPhone X’s display is the “same” as those found on Samsung phones, you can attribute it to mistaken assumptions if you like, but the information is readily available, so the outlets’ intent must also be questioned.

Apple individually calibrates every single iPhone X unit before it leaves the factory. And Apple’s OLED iPhone X’s feature TrueTone. Those are two big reasons, among others, why Apple’s iPhone X displays are particularly special vs. other Samsung-made OLED screens. — MacDailyNews, November 13, 2017

“Apple’s version of an OLED screen is manufactured by Samsung, but is not an off-the-shelf Samsung part. It’s a custom-built, diamond-pattern OLED array that was built to Apple specifications and driven by an Apple display driver. This screen is not comparable to screens found in Samsung devices on a variety of levels.” – TechCrunch, October 31, 2017

How much sooner did the Samsung screens burn in?
The comments are assailed by the entire Samsung paid troll network.
“but is not an off-the-shelf Samsung part”
One thing is for sure… it’s paid for with Apple money, and should a problem arise….
“but is not an off-the-shelf Samsung part.”…
It’s not the best screen.
It’s YELLOW!
With TrueTone turned off it’s blue… turned on it’s YELLOW.
“but is not an off-the-shelf Samsung part.”…
Still not worth $1,000
