Define “older”. My 5-year-old LG C1 still looks brand new with no signs of tinting nor burn-in. I even turned off all the pixel protection features in the service menu (TPC & GSR) the same day the 1 year warranty expired because it kept annoying me from dinning the picture too much.
I also used a Kenwood head unit with an early OLED display from 2005 until I retired it I
In the late 2010s because it obviously didn’t have Android Auto…hell, it didn’t even have Bluetooth, but it had satellite radio… Our priorities were different then; point I’m making is that it never showed signs of burn-in either, and it had one of the first OLED displays to hit the market. (FWIW I did utilize the burn-in prevention features on the radio).
Honestly this whole “OLEDs wear out” thing is way overblown.
TBF, I have yet to see a phone implement burn-in protection features. They’re designed to be replaced within 2-3 years because phone manufacturers are greedy assholes.
(FWIW I left some of the burn-in protection turned on on my TV, just turned the annoying pixel dimming stuff off.)
A slightly off topic and more serious remark about displays: I don’t doubt your experience. I heard that the situation got better. Still the higher power consumption is a factor for me.

My pixel 9a started developing noticeable burn in within 6 months.

I don’t understand. My remark was about cats… ;)

Sorry I misunderstood your comment.
