I can see it. Mine was very similar. Granted I’m legit diagnosed OCD not like most claim. 😌 its not horrible but enough to really annoy me every time I would see it.
Got a tip for us?

I have this as well. As another poster pointed out it may be from the internal display cable conducting some heat. If that is the case everyone should be able to see it under certain conditions.
Could also be related to humidity a little? Swiping with my finger over it temporarily removed it.
Everything Apple pro drop test video was better than Jerry Rigs if you ask me. While the back glass did break on the second drop, the front glass, and cameras on the 15 pro max lasted the entire time. The normal 15 pro didn’t make it the entire test. It just goes to show that there are variables out there.
I was pleasantly surprised and content with the durability once I saw this video. Again, it will be overshadowed by Jerryrigs video from the people looking to hate on Apple or the iPhone 15 pro of course.
I noticed a new issue this morning - Siri is hanging after a "Siri" voice request instead of resuming audio playback. Could be an iOS 17/on device Siri bug? Is anyone else seeing the same thing?
That rear glass though just seems to break way too easy for my liking.
Most definitely keeping mine in a case that’s for sure.
I’ve had a screen break on a bed while FaceTiming because it fell against a wooden box corner in the unluckiest angle possible. Everything is susceptible to break under certain circumstances so I wouldn’t worry about any of these tests.
What I am super interested in, is the Titanium test with fire.
Yeah I think it’s the unfortunate trade off for making the phones cheaper to repair. But personally, I am okay with it since I use a case. I am just more impressed that it can take damage and the phone and cameras still work. My iPhone 7 Plus for example, died after one bad drop ( though the body didn’t have much damage).
I noticed this with my 15 Pro on Friday and Saturday but better today (Sunday) - suspect that it's the phone indexing stuff in the background that's hogging the processor a bit......
It started for me with the iPhone X when I was 33, but to be fair I also have eye issues from a less-than-ideal LASIK experience around age 28ish.
I don’t know specifically why it causes me such migraines but there’s a pretty big thread that suggests it’s not an insignificant number of people struggling with it. I just wish Apple offered LCD as an option in a new premium device.
The "Always-On display" with the 14 Pro Max was never always on, and it is the same with the 15 Pro Max. Apple never claimed that.
The "Always-On display" is driven by an algorithm based on the use of the phone. So if one gets up in the morning at roughly the same time, goes to bed at roughly the same time, and spends each time by using the phone regularly, users won't notice that, because it will seem that it was always on.
If one uses the phone irregularly (in terms of weekdays and time of the day) the algorithm's output is nonsensical, and one has to touch the screen to turn on the display (which presumably in turn might change the algorithm's output again) – it is a pain in the a...!
I’m trying to get a better photo of it, but even I can’t see it in the photo I took. It looks much more obvious in person, but bizarrely I’m not seeing it all the time. I do have an OLED TV with a similar issue on white content where it appears a little reddish on the left compared to the rest of the picture. The TV only really bothers me during basketball, but on a phone a lot of UI elements are white…I wonder if they already have display parts in store and could do a swap under warranty.
That’s part of how it works, this is the full description according to Apple.
Use Always-On display with your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max
With Always-On display, your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max will dim the Lock Screen while still showing helpful information, such as the time, widgets and wallpaper, all while using new technologies that make the display incredibly power efficient. Find out how to use Always-On display.
Find out about Always-On display
Your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max display can operate with a refresh rate as low as 1 Hz with a new low-power mode, and uses improved technology that allows the display to dim the entire Lock Screen. The display will dim when you lock your device or leave it idle. Always-On display also uses multiple coprocessors in the A16 Bionic to refresh the display using minimal power.Always-On display is turned on by default on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
To interact with your iPhone, raise it, tap the screen or press the side button. If you use Raise to Wake, raising and looking at your iPhone will wake your device as usual. You can also swipe up from the bottom of your display to wake iPhone and activate Face ID authentication.
Personalise your Lock Screen
You can customise your Always-On display by personalising your Lock Screen with photos, wallpapers with stylised fonts and colours, and widgets.Find out how to customise the Lock Screen
Always-On display will go dark when you don't need to see it
To save battery life, the display will go completely dark when:- Your iPhone is lying face down
- Your iPhone is in your pocket or bag
- Sleep Focus is turned on
- Low Power Mode is turned on
- Your iPhone is connected to CarPlay
- You're using Continuity Camera
- You haven't used your iPhone for a while (your iPhone can learn your activity patterns and will turn the display off and on accordingly, including if you've set up an alarm or sleep schedule)
- Your iPhone detects that you've moved away from it with a paired Apple Watch (Always-On display will turn on when your Apple Watch is close to your iPhone again)
How to turn Always-On display off or on
Always-On display is turned on by default on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. To turn Always-On display off or on, follow these steps:- Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On Display.
- Turn Always-On display off or on.

If you look at the new video from JerryRigEverything, the aluminum internal frame has a hole in the middle where he was pushing his thumbs. This makes me think it’s less of a bend test, and more of a poke test.
As for the breakage from this drop, yes it’s unfortunate. Looks like repairability will add new challenges to durability in the short term.
Good catch. Finger placement on the bend test may be the variable in why the back may shatter. This would hopefully make it a non-issue in pockets
My 14 pro max was indeed truly always on. Unless placed face down or in a pocket it would stay on. I usually sleep with my phone unplugged, face up on my bed. It stayed on all throughout the night from the day I got it until now.
That looks perfectly fine to me. What are you seeing that worries you? lol. I am very sensitive to screen issues and yeah I'm aware I'm looking at a photo but that looks normal.
I’m aware the photo looks normal, what I’m seeing is a reddish tint on the right side of the screen at certain times of the day. I’ve only had the phone for two days of course but it seems to be noticeable more at night, it could be a combination of True Tone and Night Shift, but even if I shift my phone to landscape is looks reddish on the right side. I can’t seem to reproduce it in photos which is driving me crazy, like if I’m seeing it it should also be visible to the camera? But maybe the adjustments/light sensitivity differences in the camera makes it disappear. I’m trying to get another photo when I notice it again.
