May. 30, 2022iOS 16 to Add Support for Always-On Display
According to the recent edition of Gurman’s Power On newsletter, Apple is said to add support for an always-on display (AOD) feature in iOS 16 ahead of the release of its upcoming iPhone 14 series. The Apple analyst says that the Cupertino giant isplanning to add some major changes to the lock-screen on iPhones and iPadsthis year, including support for AOD and“wallpapers that have widget-like capabilities.”
Gurman adds that the AOD support on iPhones will turn down the frame rate significantly to always display quick-glanceable information like the battery percentage and notification count, among others. However, it is worth mentioning that the analyst says thatthe AOD feature will only be available on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max modelsand won’t ship until September.
This new information seemingly confirms AOD for the iPhone 14 Pro models, which wasrecently rumored. To recall, Apple was expected to introduce AOD with the iPhone 13 earlier.
Other features of the upcoming iOS 16 include new ways of system interactions, refreshed Apple apps, upgrades for the Messages and Health apps, and many others. You can check out our iOS 16 round-up story to know more about the upcoming features, changes, release date,supported devices, and more.
Furthermore, Gurman points out that the standard iPhone 14 and the 14 Max would come with incremental upgrades over the current iPhone 13 models. Although, all of the iPhone 14 models areslated to get a 120Hz ProMotion display. However, features like the much-anticipated48MP cameraandthe RAM upgradeare currently rumored for the Pro models.
