The developers of Apple are fully in their laboratories fine-tuning the last details of the launch of the family of iPhone 14. And since they know that the public waits expectantly outside the Cupertino offices, they slip some leaks to calm the most fervent followers.
It was in this context that details of a function that will be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro, the “Always-on screen”.
According to a report from 9To5Macreviewed in hypertextualwe already know the configuration of what can be put in this section of the cell phone interface.
It is logical to assume that an always-on screen leads to higher energy consumption. However, the developers they have managed to make the feature go hand in hand with optimal battery performance.
For example in Android, the “Display always on” option shows the information you choose from the widgets under a black background. So, Apple wants to make a leap in quality and improve by allowing the same details to be seen under one of the wallpapers of the operating system. iOS 16.
The always-on screen on the iPhone 14 Pro will show part of the wallpaper, according to rumors.

“Screen always on”: what can be put and what not?
In the Hipertextual review it is specified that iOS16 updated the wallpapers to make them compatible with this function.
They specify that they can now alter the range of colors in their backgrounds so that the energy consumption in the iPhone 14 Pro is as low as possible.
In this way, information such as the time, the weather or whatever is important for the user to place on their home screen (always on) will be seen with colorful images and not the usual black of Android.
Also, in the 9To5Mac report it is detailed that “Screen always on” will not work with any image that we put in our background, such as a custom image, for example.
The feature will only work with the default wallpapers on the iPhone 14 Pro operating system.
Only details remain. The iPhone 14 family should arrive in September of this same 2022. But there is still no specific date for the big announcement.
