Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max may finally feature an always-on display. According to a report, Apple may include the feature in iOS 16, allowing the iPhone to display limited information even when it is locked.
According to reports, the iPhone’s version of always-on mode will work similarly to how it does on the Apple Watch Series 5 and up — with always-on mode enabled, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will reduce the frame rate of the lock screen, allowing them to conserve energy while the display remains powered on. It’s unclear whether the new iPhone will use the same low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display found in Apple’s newer Watch models. Because they are designed to keep devices from consuming too much power, these low-powered screens play a significant role in making the always-on mode work properly.
