Apple could finally bring always-on display to iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max could finally get the always-on display. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reported that the Cupertino-based tech giant could introduce the feature with iOS 16, which would allow the iPhone to display a limited amount of information even when locked.

Gurman said in the report that the always-on mode could work in a similar manner to the Apple Watch Series 5 and above — the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max would drop the lock screen’s frame rate when the always-on mode is enabled, allowing users to conserve energy when the display remains on. However, it is still unclear if the new iPhone will use the low-temperature polycrystalline oxide display Apple has used in newer Watch models. These low-powered screens are built to keep devices from consuming too much power and play a huge role in getting always-on mode to work.
