How the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max’s Always-On Display Operates

When not in use, a new Apple feature for iPhone 14 Pro models retains the information you want on the screen.

The iPhone is rapidly catching up to the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Apple’s own Watch. The always-on display is a new feature coming to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max that allows the time and other widgets to remain visible on even when the phone is locked, the screen remains active.

Android phones (particularly Samsung Galaxy smartphones) have had always-on screen technology for years, allowing the display to remain lit after the original timeout period has elapsed. The fact that Apple has included it in the iPhone Pro suggests that it will eventually be standard on all iPhones. The always-on capability is built into a number of Apple Watch models.

Apple also introduced the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Plus, the Apple Watch Ultra, the Apple Watch 8, and the AirPods Pro 2, in addition to the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max (which are available in a deep purple color). The release date for iOS 16 was also announced by the business, and it’s set for September 12. Here are some of the most exciting additions to iOS 16:

This article will describe what the always-on display mode on the iPhone 14 is like and how it operates. Check out how the new Dynamic Island notch design in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max functions for more iPhone news.

Can you explain how the always-on screen operates?

When an iPhone is locked, the lock screen dims and you have to push a button, raise the phone, or tap the screen to unlock it. With an always-on display, you can see the clock, widgets, and live activities without unlocking your phone, as the lock screen remains on, albeit at reduced brightness.

You may only have a few seconds to read a text message on your iPhone before the screen automatically shuts off. Having the screen on at all times means you may take as much time as you need to read the message.

Is my iPhone’s battery going to die sooner?

Apple has stated that a new low-power mode allows the always-on display to function at a refresh rate of 1Hz (i.e., once per second). The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max use multiple co-processors to refresh the screen while drawing the bare minimum of electricity.

How can I disable the always-on mode on iPhone 14?

Despite Apple’s silence on the matter, it seems safe to assume that you’ll be able to disable this feature if you don’t want it. In the same way that the always-on display on an Apple Watch can be disabled, the always-on display on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max may be disabled in the Display & Brightness settings. Even with Samsung phones, you can adjust this.
