An Apple employee's leak to the 9to5Mac and MacRumors media of the links to the final version of iOS 11, also called Golden Master, has made Apple-related news writers have had extra work. In Actualidad iPhone We have informed you of all the new features that have been discovered in this version, but it seems that there were still some pending.
Apparently the firmware of the iPhone X, a model that will offer us an OLED screen, integrates a security system that will mitigate possible burning of areas on the screen. In OLED screens, each pixel lights up on its own, unlike LCD panels, which need a backlight to illuminate the entire screen.
In this way, the consumption in OLED screens, in theory, is lower, since only the pixels / diodes that have to display the image light up. So the blacks are blacker than on a traditional LCD screen. But if these diodes are on for a long time showing the same image or high brightness is used, over time they stop working or they do it erratically showing different colors than they should. The firmware of the iPhone X, integrates a function that works automatically that will try to prevent, as far as possible, this from happening.
The latest Samsung models already offer this function, it is the main manufacturer of this type of screens. But for the diodes to start to malfunction, diodes that have a service life of about 40.000 hours, they have to spend many hours on and with hardly changing the color of what they show. This type of problem has always been associated with Samsung terminals, those that are on display and that always have the screen on.
