iPhone 14 Pro Has an Apple Watch-Like Feature: The New Always-On Display

The feature, which has been available on Apple Watch since 2019, is now coming to iPhone. The new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have an always-on display that shows the clock and selected widgets on the iPhone screen, even when it's locked and not in active use, see here.

The always-on display, which stays on after the first standby period, is a technology that has been available on Android phones (especially Samsung Galaxy devices) for years. Apple adding it to its iPhone 14 Pro models indicate that all iPhones will adopt it.

In addition to the deep purple 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, Apple announced the new iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, the supercharged Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch 8, and AirPods Pro 2. Now that iOS 16 is available, here's a look at the best new features. We explain what the iPhone 14 version of the always-on screen feature is and how it works.

How does always on-screen work? Normally, the lock screen turns off when you lock your iPhone, and you have to either press a button, lift the phone, or touch the screen to reactivate it. Thanks to the always-on display, your lock screen doesn't turn off - it stays dim - so you can easily check the time, widgets, and real-time actions without touching your phone.

For example, when you receive a text message, you usually only have a few seconds to look at it before the iPhone screen turns off. Thanks to the always-on screen, you have unlimited time to see the message.

When you turn iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max face down on a surface or put it in your pocket, the screen dims to save battery because you don't have to look at the screen when it's in your pocket or upside down. on the table.

Will it drain my iPhone battery faster? Apple said that the always-on screen can operate with a refresh rate as low as 1Hz (ie once per second) in the new power-saving mode. It also uses multiple co-processors in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max chips to refresh the screen using as little power as possible.

Can I always be on? Apple hasn't said if this feature is optional, but you can probably turn it off in your settings. Apple Watch users can turn off the always-on display in Display & Brightness, so you'd probably turn it off on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. You can also adjust the corresponding setting on Samsung phones.
