Nuked Apple could introduce the feature with iOS 16, allowing the iPhone to display a limited amount of information even when it’s locked.
The iPhone 14 Pro and pro Max will drop the frame rate with always-on mode enabled. It’s unclear if the iPhone will use the same low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (ltpo) display Apple uses in newer watch models.
A number of Android devices already support always-on mode. On certain Samsung devices, always-on display can show the time, battery level, widgets, and more, all while the phone stays locked.
Always-On display is n’t the only feature said to be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and pro Max. Previous leaks indicate that Apple may only include its new a16 chip with the two premium devices.
Apple is set to announce a number of changes at its worldwide developers conference (WWDC) on June 6th. In line with previous predictions, Apple could introduce enhanced windowing and multitasking features on the iPad. In addition to adding new audio features to messages, Gurman predicts Apple will revamp its system preferences menu to make it more like the settings app on iOS.
