iOS 16 code includes several ‘always-on display’ references ahead of launch with iPhone 14 Pro

Apple announced iOS 16 — the next major update to the iOS for iPhone 8 and later versions at the WWDC 2022. The update will come with several under-the-hood improvements, including haptic feedback for the keyboard and new levels of customisation.

But the biggest update that could be coming to the operating system is the long-rumoured always-on display. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg first reported the revamped Lock Screen in iOS 16 and noted that it would come with built-in support for the always-on display. Gurman also said the feature could potentially launch with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
