The iPhone and its particular version of the always-on display has been the subject of much controversy for a good handful of months when it comes to battery consumption. We recall that the iPhone 14 Pro is the only Apple device that, in its two variants, has this always-on screen technology, inherited directly from the Apple Watch.
With the arrival of iOS 16.4, just around the corner, your iPhone will inform you of the battery consumption which is directly attributed to the Always-On Display function. In this way we can be certain of whether or not this system affects the final autonomy of the device.
According to the analyzes carried out, the Always-On Display feature of the iPhone 14 Pro is capable of consuming around 14% of the total battery, which is a real scandal in cases like the standard model (not Max), which precisely does not enjoy a particularly notable autonomy compared to the others.
On that subject, Apple’s always-on display for the iPhone 14 Pro It did not satisfy anyone at all, a feature that iPhone users have been asking for for many years, considering that many Android devices offer this configuration even in mid-range devices.
Anyway, this new capability of iOS 16.4 This will only serve to drive lovers of low power crazy,
What’s obvious is that an always-on display will have high or low battery drain, but having less battery life will be completely unavoidable no matter what Apple does. Therefore, yes, you will be able to know how much battery this feature is consuming, and there is nothing you can do about it other than turn it off.
