iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will be equipped with an old feature of Android smartphones for the first time

As reported by Bloomberg, Apple will finally bring the always-on screen feature to the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apple will likely introduce this new feature with iOS 16, which will allow the iPhone to display a small amount of information even when the screen is locked. Although the always-on screen is a very old feature on Android smartphones.

Bloomberg says the always-on feature on the iPhone will probably work similarly to the Apple Watch Series 5. The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will minimize the lock screen frequency when always-on mode is turned on, helping to save money. save power.

It’s unclear if Apple will use the same type of LTPO display as the latest Apple Watch models. Because LTPO screens have a pretty big role to play in making the always-on display function at its best, because LTPO screens are designed so that the device doesn’t consume too much power.

The always-on display is nothing new. It appeared on many Android smartphones and smart wearables many years ago. As on Samsung smartphones, the always-on screen helps display the time, battery level and notifications when the screen is still locked.

Last year, analysts predicted that the iPhone 13 would be equipped with an LTPO display and support the always-on feature. However that did not happen, so it is very likely that the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will be equipped with this feature for the first time. In addition, Apple’s new iPhone Pro duo will also have a punch-hole screen design for the first time, replacing the traditional notch in many years.
