Are they letting you guys keep your screens on yet? Or is that something that's being saved for 19? Probably not a big deal for most, but an always on display for time, calendar, and alerts without having to do anything to active my phone is clutch for me. When I see other peoples phones with blank black screens they look so dead.

They have actually introduced AOD, but only from the iPhone 15.

Their reasoning for not backporting the feature (unless phone is charging) is that the older models don't have LTPO displays that go down to the 1hz they do in AOD on the 15. A stupid reason imo.

Huh? Always on display has been around in iOS for years. Since 2022 with the 14.

That's like...one, maybe two years

As compared with Android, which is like...decades

Ah! You're right, they had it on the 14 Pro and Pro Max. That isn't years though, its barely 1.5 years. (September '22)

It was just not on the normal non-pro models. iPhone 15 non-pro got it though.

It’s been around since 2022. Though I actually turned mine mostly off besides the clock because it’s just unnecessary and distracting the majority of the time. And super unhealthy.

Wouldn't this drain your battery and cause burn-in on your screen?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Minimal / worth it / non impactful assuming you charge nightly anyway and no.

I love how concise your answer is

It does take more battery than just a blank screen, but it is kept extremely dim and automatically changes placement on the screen every so often so it doesn't burn in. Also, if it doesn't detect light (like if it were in your pocket) it turns off. I havent done the math, but i think playing a game on your phone for like 30 minutes would probably drain the battery a similar amount to a whole day if this display
