The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max introduced into the dynamic island officially added the AOD function. But when it was launched, many people were also curious about how much the screen display function that can maintain a refresh rate of 1Hz would actually have an impact on the power consumption of the iPhone, but there was no reference data for the system before. Now it seems that Apple will eventually bring a clearer power display function to users of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max (right).

The Always-On Display (AOD) function provides a more intuitive information display function by continuously displaying part of the information, or “permanently displaying” it on the screens of smartphones and smart watches. Even other Android phones and even the Apple Watch have already embraced this feature. However, on the Apple smartphone system, it was not until the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max that introduced the dynamic island that this convenient function was officially added.
When it was launched, many people were also curious about how much the screen display function that can maintain a refresh rate of 1Hz would actually have a big impact on the power consumption of the iPhone, but there was no reference data for the system before. Now it seems that Apple will eventually bring a clearer power display function to users of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max (right).
In fact, as long as you see the update project of the first decimal place in iOS, you can basically expect that there will be quite a lot of new features – in the past, it even unlocked the iPhone’s ProRes and other shooting capabilities or the front of the iPad Pro. control interface.
This wave of iOS 16.4 has begun to be pushed to developers, although it seems to be mainly some interface adjustments and more colorful Emoji emoticons. However, foreign media 9to5Mac found that in addition to the new setting of AppleCare warranty time display, Apple seems to be preparing to continue to display time, date, battery, and notifications on the iPhone with low power consumption and low update rate when the screen is turned off in the past. And the “always on display” function of the Widget gadget provides a new power consumption display display function.

Seeing every time the system is updated, many people will still feel the difference in the battery life of the iPhone. Naturally, for users who are more concerned about battery life, the biggest question when the new AOD standby display function of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max is launched is how much power it consumes. Previously, however, it was not possible to directly see the categories associated with it.
After the foreign media 9to5Mac disassembled this iOS 16.4 test version, it was found that the categories that were always displayed in the battery setting function appeared in it. In short, just like hotspot sharing and various App items, Apple has a good chance to add relevant information that will always be displayed on the power consumption display page.

That is to say, most of the actual measurements, including the results of the computer king Ada team’s out-of-the-box experience of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, show that such a function generally consumes about 1% of the power for 1 hour (Pro’s 24-hour power consumption under the actual measurement of foreign media). 20% electricity, and some people further reduce it to about 14% by setting the tablecloth to all black).
Since some settings will lead to subtle differences in standby power consumption, it is true that it is easier to see the difference by relying on system functions. Now it seems that after iOS 16.4 in the future, there should be a good chance to see this option.
