We are about a month away from the presentation of the new line of Apple smartphones. Among the devices revealed at the traditional September event, the iPhone 14 Pro will be the ones that will bring the main news.
In addition to the disappearance of the notch, Apple will also include the functionality always active show long time requested by your users. Now, here are more details on how this novelty works on the iPhone 14 Pro.
always active display of the iPhone 14 Pro will be different from what we see on Android
Evidence of the operation of the always on screen on the iPhone 14 Pro were discovered by the publication 9to5 Mac. After a detailed analysis of the source code of the new beta of iOS 16, it was possible to unravel a little more about how this novelty works.
As you can see in the video shared on social networks, the wallpapers will not completely disappear from the iPhone 14 Pro screen. Instead, it will simply be dimmed, giving more prominence to elements such as the clock or notifications.
In iOS 16 beta 4, the 9to5 Mac team found references to the “sleep” feature for iPhone wallpapers. In fact, these images will still be perceptible, albeit with lower brightness, even in always on display.
This is a very different approach than what we see in the Android universe. Here, smartphones tend to completely erase the screen, leaving only elements such as the time or notifications visible.
Naturally, Apple’s approach is already beginning to raise concerns about the autonomy of the iPhone 14 Pro. Having an image that is always visible will require a higher power consumption of the smartphone’s battery.
To allay these fears, it is mentioned that the screen refresh rate will drop to just 1Hz under these conditions. A detail that will help reduce energy consumption so as not to sacrifice too much the autonomy of the iPhone 14 Pro.
It is important to note that the always on screen It will only be part of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max precisely because of its ProMotion screen. The rest of the elements of this range of smartphones will not benefit from this novelty.
