It's commonly anticipated that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max would have an always-on display feature, and now we have some additional information about how it will look and function. This expectation is based on code discovered in iOS 16 and suggestions from reliable sources.
This inside knowledge, which covers a variety of the new feature's facets, was acquired by MacRumors(opens in new tab). When the always-on option is activated, widgets will be displayed on the lock screen, for instance, fading in and out slowly to avoid screen burn-in.
The depth effect on lock screen wallpapers will be eliminated and darkened in always-on mode. The user can choose the amount of highlighting in the foreground, which will be dimmed and coloured.
more notifications
You won't be able to choose different options for the two different modes of operation as it appears that settings like wallpaper, colours, fonts, and widgets will be maintained identical between the always-on lock screen and the fully lighted lock screen.
The new information indicates that notifications will appear on the always-on display, coming in from the bottom as they occur. There might be a notification counter at the bottom of the screen, and it sounds like the user can modify different elements of the notification alert display.
The pill-shaped cut-out, another Pro model exclusive, will also be used to provide more space in the status bar, which will be reconfigured to make the most of it. We will learn for sure during Apple's announcement on September 7th.
Analysis: The Professional models are distinct
One of the many improvements believed to be limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max variants is the always-on display, and it seems evident that Apple has decided to divide its flagship phone line into two distinct tiers.
According to the leaks so far, the basic iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will continue Apple use the A15 Bionic chipset that powers the current iPhone 13 range, while the Pro and Pro Max models will receive a brand-new A16 Bionic CPU. Apple is reportedly planning to continue using this strategy in the next years as well.
Additionally, there have been rumours that the Pro models will feature better screen technology. It appears that there will be a significant jump to the Pro level when all the standard advantages of the Pro models are taken into account, including an enhanced camera system in comparison to the iPhone models that are more reasonably priced.
That may be done to encourage more people to purchase more costly iPhones, but it does give the iPhone 14 the impression of being a less significant upgrade than what we now have. If Apple's strategy proves successful, only time will tell.
What is known so far about the iPhone 14 is listed below.
