Always on for some, sometimes on for others
Below then, we’ll look at the rumors to see whether we're likely to get an iPhone 15 always-on display, and which models specifically will and won't have this feature. Before that though, we’ve included an overview of what an always-on display actually is, and what Apple’s take on it is like.An always-on display is much like what it sounds – a screen that’s never actually off.
With Apple’s always-on display, you can optionally show the lock screen wallpaper and notifications, or you can disable one or both of those options. With both disabled, the always-on display will just show the time and any other widgets you’ve set up on your lock screen, against a black background. In the case of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the refresh rate drops all the way to 1Hz. That’s down from a maximum of 120Hz, when you’re actively using the phone, and it means there’s minimal pull on the battery – though there’s still some, so if you prioritize battery life above all else, you might want to disable the always-on display.
The leaks above specifically say that only the Pro models will have the ability to drop to a 1Hz refresh rate, and based on past form, we’d expect the iPhone 15 Plus to use the same screen technology as the standard iPhone 15 anyway.
