iPhone 14 Pro Max Always On Display

As a owner of legacy Android devices, I looked forward to having the AOD feature whose first generation implementation by Apple was better than Android.

To those who choose not use it, I get the battery hit issue.

That said. The device doesn't need to be woken up to check time and notifications. It's only 1hz so it's sipping the battery. It's brightness is a function of the level of your display brightness.

If you keep your phone facedown, in a pocket or purse, or your Apple Watch is out of range, the display turns off.

When I am work or in the car, the battery is being topped off.

Th point is that we finally have the feature. Enjoy it. Second generation implementation will be better. Battery drain though miniscule can be managed with infinitesimal minor effort.

Getting off my soap box, what are your thoughts? Keep it or turn it off.

I'd try it out both ways for a while, and then decide.

I'd try it out both ways for a while, and then decide.

Every night before bed, I decrease the screen brightness and enable Night Shift. In the middle of the night, it's brightness is just enough to check the time and notifications without recking my night vision. I flip the device facedown when I am done. Thanks for giving the feature a try and then making a decision to use AOD feature.

I am using it, and loving it...like you said, the iPhone is sipping on the battery.

Cannot believe I am agreeing with an Alabama fan and former Android user, at least you fixed one of those issues, haha.

Just kidding around, hope you enjoy your iPhone 14 as much as I am!
