No, we haven’t gone over to the dark side: that gloomy looking image above is the always-on display for theiPhone 14 Pro. The feature, which isn’t expected to come to the standardiPhone 14models, but will bring theiPhoneup to speed with a feature some of thebest Android phoneshave had since forever – and it looks like this time the leak has come from Apple itself.
How widgets will work on Apple’s always-on iPhone 14 display
With the usual beta software caveat that Apple may change things before the iPhone 14 ships, the interface that appears in the Xcode beta doesn’t just go sleep/wake. Instead, it adjusts the amount of detail widgets provide – so when your iPhone 14 is awake your Lock Screen will show your chosen widgets in all their glory, but when your phone is sleeping it’ll reduce the detail to the very minimum (like on theApple Watch Series 7). It also appears that coloured widgets will become monochrome for sleep mode.
If you’re wondering why the always-on display is only coming to the Pro and Pro Max iPhones, it’s because of their display technology: both models are expected to have displays with refresh rates – how frequently the screen is updated – ranging from a silky-smooth 120Hz to a battery-saving and sloth-like 1Hz; that’s a tenth of the refresh rate in the currentiPhone 13 ProandPro Max.
Apple’s best cameras for the iPhone 14 are Pro and Pro Max only, and that means the iPhone 14 Pro is looking like the pick of the range for power users: the standard iPhone and its new, larger variant theiPhone 14 Maxare going to be relatively minor upgrades over the iPhone 13 and so far at least, I don’t think there’s going to be a really compelling reason for iPhone 13 owners to upgrade unless they’re going Pro.
