OLED screen burn-in does lower your iPhone's trade-in price in Tamil Nadu — but usually by a modest amount, and the phone still sells. Here's the exact impact.
What burn-in is and how it's priced
Burn-in is a faint permanent ghost of static elements (like the keyboard or status bar) on an OLED display after long use. iPhones with Super Retina OLED screens (X and later) can develop it, and it's checked during evaluation because it affects the screen. Light burn-in means a small deduction; heavy, clearly visible burn-in means a larger one — but the phone still has value.
How to check for it
Display a solid grey or white full-screen image at full brightness — any faint fixed marks are burn-in. Select the honest screen condition in the instant online quote so the price is accurate and there are no surprises at pickup.
The rest of the phone keeps its value
Burn-in affects one component; the chip, battery, cameras and body keep their worth — so an iPhone with mild burn-in is worth far more than you might fear.
