We already have iOS 16 with us and that means new devices are being discovered, in this case the iPhone 14.
The arrival of iOS 16 brought us a Complete redesign of our iPhone lock screenNever before has the iPhone included so many customization options. And precisely this great change could be even more important in the iPhone 14, since the code of iOS 16 has leaked a very important novelty of the next generation iPhone.
As reported 9to5Mac, found several references in iOS 16 code indicating that an always-on display is in development. We had already heard rumors about this and it seems that iOS 16 confirms what many thought: the iPhone 14 Pro will have a screen Always activewithout resorting to tricks like now.
This is what the iPhone 14 Pro will look like with iOS 16
The iPhone 14 Pro could have Always active Display
Apparently, the screens that the iPhone 14 Pro will use will be able to vary its refresh rate between 120 Hz and 1 Hz onlywhich is perfect for the function Always active Display. Going down to a single hertz, the screen refreshes once per second, spending very little battery and allowing the feature to always be active. It’s something the Apple Watch has been doing since Series 5.
However, while iPhone 14 Pro displays can do this, Apple may not allow it without compatible software. However, 9to5Mac indicates that andn iOS 16, up to three new features have been added related to the management of the iPhone screen backlight. And backlight management is a key aspect to enable always-on display.
9to5Mac has discovered several references confirming that iOS 16 includes support for an always-on display on the iPhone.
iOS 16 introduced some very important new features
It seems that there are several references to an always-on screen in the Springboard, which manages the iPhone lock screen and home screen. In addition, it would seem that there are a series of hidden parameters that would allow Apple engineers to test these developments on the iPhone 13 Pro, although they are not compatible.
Now all that remains is to see how to implement always on display on iphone. We’ll see if Apple includes the clock and some of the new widgets similar to Apple Watch complications. It’s a feature that’s been available in competing devices for a long time and we’ll see if Apple is able to deliver something really new in its iPhone 14 Pro.
