Warranty replacements usually don’t get brand new phones…even if you believe it’s the principal of it…

Yep. Some other member got a replacement PM that had glue on the volume buttons. It’s a myth to say “ they don’t have refurbs this early…”. I agree.
You can think whatever you want but Apple wont give you new retail piece. I tried it.
I think the issue is it’s no longer a brand-new phone; it’s past the return period. If it’s defective at purchase, you can return it. A defect can arise anytime in the warranty period and they’ll replace the phone, possibly with a refurb, but not necessarily a brand-new one.

According to our law if you find a defect until 6 months from purchase you should be able to return it. But Apple will claim that you got new unit and not refurb.
Problem with refurb is that is mostly 1/3 cheaper device which is built from repair units. External looks new but internal are not. For example I got old display which has defective colours.

When working from home it's on my desk. No one is going to take my phone. When I'm at work it's on my desk and I take it with me when I leave my desk. I like having the weather, time, notifications, etc available at a glance.
AOD may affect your battery but not my 14 PM.
I took a close up timelapse of my AOD. There was no pixel shifting of the widgets, but the clock moved every minute because different numbers have different widths and it recentered each time it changed. The earth on the astronomy wallpaper I was using also rotated a few pixels every 5 minutes.
using focus mode works very well for always on display. completely black screen which should reduce your battery life. I have the screen dimmed due to it being a work focus.
I'm sure it will work fine in other situations. I can only assume apple could enable it to work like this normally with an update

That’s correct because your 14 PM is “special”.
No it’s not special. You just don’t know what the hell you’re doing.
Replacement has arrived. Will test out the display tonight.
If it's affecting mine, it's negligible. Not a concern.
To be honest I tried AOD on my 14 Pro and didn’t see any noticeable battery changes, still got me through a full day with my 10 hour usage and x amount of hours standby time, though I have disabled it since as I didn’t really use the feature.
If it’s taking such a toll on battery then maybe a full reset is in order? not sure but I’m sure Apple would have ran battery tests on it so it uses very little to none.

starts with an N which stands for replacement unit so it doesn’t come under the refurbished or retail category.
How did you manage to get a replacement so quick ?hope your new one is good.
Express replacement under Apple care plus.
The replacement phones are different stock to retail and refurbished phones so I'm guessing those are just phones Apple made to put to one side incase the retail units have issues and need to be replaced.
New one seems fine so far will check later under low light if I have the same issues as before but doubt it.
Will update this thread once I check.
It only goes off automatically if you set sleep mode up or put on battery saver.
The other way it goes off is when you have an apple watch on and move away from the phone.
