American tech giant Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max smartphone might finally get the always-on display feature. <br /><br />According to The Verge, a report states that Apple could introduce the feature with iOS 16, allowing the iPhone to display a limited amount of information even when it's locked. <br /><br />The report says the always-on mode for the iPhones might function similarly to the way it does with the Apple Watch Series 5 and above. <br /><br />The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will drop the lock screen's frame rate with always-on mode enabled, letting them conserve energy while the display remains powered on. It’s unclear if the new iPhone will use the same low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display Apple uses in newer Watch models. <br /><br />These low-powered screens play a huge part in getting always-on mode to work properly, as they're built to keep devices from consuming too much power, reported the outlet. <br /><br />Analysts had predicted last year that the iPhone 13 would come with an LTPO display to enable always-on display. The always-on feature has for many years been supported by several Android devices. <br /><br />For example, on certain Samsung devices, the always-on display can show the time, battery level, widgets, and more, all while the phone stays locked. <br /><br />As per The Verge, it's expected that iOS 16 will come with similar functionalities, including wallpapers with widget-like capabilities.
