It may be hard to believe, but until this year, iPhones didn't have the always-on display (AoD) feature that is on phones Galaxy present for generations. The first iPhones to get this feature are iPhone 14 For a iPhone 14 For Max. However, its original implementation was not ideal and used more power due to displaying muted versions of wallpapers and notifications. Therefore, the Cupertino giant came up with an implementation similar to the one on Samsung smartphones.

After a few days of using AoD, some iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max users started complaining about high power consumption. Apple heard them and brought an AoD implementation similar to that on phones Galaxy. This implementation is part of the latest beta version of the system iOS 16.2 and brings much-needed AoD controls to said iPhones. The new version of the system allows them to completely hide wallpapers and notifications on AoD.

Once wallpapers and notifications are turned off on AoD, users are left with a clock and other lock screen widgets on it. This AoD implementation is similar to what we have seen on phones for a long time Galaxy and which shows a black screen with a clock widget and app icons for which notifications have arrived. Simple and effective, but mainly battery saving.
