The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max You have a few flashy software changes, eg Dynamic Island To display system alerts and highly anticipated permanent display. This last feature isn’t entirely new. For years, Android devices have had an always-on display that shows basic information when the screen is off. What you see is a black screen with the time, date, and sometimes notification icons. But the iPhone version has Apple’s own flair.
The 14 Pro’s always-on display displays the time and date (along with widgets) against a dark version of the background image instead of a black screen. I’ve been using the iPhone 14 Pro for about three months, and it took about half that time to get used to the always-on display because it seemed like my phone was unlocked. While Apple deserves credit for figuring out a way to make the always-on screen look almost identical to the regular lock screen, there is a catch. Some of us want an always-on display that’s more discrete and unobtrusive.
Lucky for us, iOS 16.2 is the answer. The iOS 16.2 beta, Apple’s next iPhone software update, now has controls that let you turn off the wallpaper when the always-on display is active. This means that you can finally have a solid black wallpaper for your iPhone’s always-on display without changing the lock screen image.
If you want to try it out, go to settingsFaucet display and brightness And he chose Always on display. From there, you’ll see options to show wallpaper or notifications. deactivation background display You get an always on black screen.
In our tests, using the iPhone 14 Pro’s always-on display didn’t shorten battery life. But Some people have the opposite experience. For those who have experienced battery life issues, we hope that replacing the lock screen with a solid black wallpaper will address these concerns. I should also add that, overall, our tests found the iPhone 14 series to have shorter battery life than the iPhone 13 series.
The iOS 16.2 update is currently in beta and the final version is likely to be available in December, according to the Mark Gorman from Bloomberg in his newsletter. If you’re interested in trying out the public beta, Read the iOS 16 beta guide. 2which guides you through the process.
