iPhone 14 Pro screen turns off in these situations

One of the main novelties of the iPhone 14 Pro is the “Always On Display” or always on screen. However there are times when the screen turns off to save battery.

A direct legacy of Apple Watch, the always-on display on the new iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max lets you see the time, widgets, wallpaper, and notifications even when your phone is locked and not in use. Apple has managed to minimize the impact this has on the battery of the terminals decrease screen brightness and lower screen refresh rate to 1Hz

. However, there will be times when the screen will turn off, as it makes no sense for it to stay on. When does this happen? In the following cases:

• The iPhone is placed upside down
• iPhone is inside a pocket or bag, backpack, etc.
• Sleep mode is activated
• You use CarPlay connected to your vehicle
• Low power mode is enabled
• You use the iPhone as a webcam on your Mac (Continuity Camera)
• You walk away from your iPhone with your Apple Watch on (needed to let it know you’re walking away)
• You haven’t used your iPhone for a long time

As you can see, Apple has included situations where it makes no sense that the screen is on

. Despite the fact that for now the recently released “Always On Display” does not leave Apple many customization options, they have thought about how to optimize their energy consumption as much as possible. Perhaps the ability to add to other focus modes having this mode off, not just with Sleep mode on, is missed. But the feature has just been released and new options will surely be added in future versions of iOS.
