I believe that LG also makes these panels for Apple. The burn in is a problem. There have been multiple tests and even after just a few hours, there is burn in.
If you watch the news a lot, there is often a bar at the bottom that shows headlines, etc. That bar tends to burn in since it is static.
Granted phones are not on continuously as long, but you definitely don't need the screen to be on 24/7 to get burn in the OLED.
I don't know where you get your information but this is incorrect. LG makes their own OLED panels Samsung produces their own panels for TVs and phones. Samsung also produces the panels for Apple. Samsung's OLED technology is very good since they have been doing it for a while.
And any and all OLED's experience burn in, the rate just varies. Burn in occurs when certain pixels are illuminated more than others i.e. a static image for long periods, and the pixels are wearing out. That is why the pixel 2 xl is experiencing it only with the nav bar. The iPhone may suffer from this in the form of the "Home indicator bar" it is too early to tell.
