Apple iPhone 14 Pro to feature Always-On Display - Check expected launch date, specifications and more

The US-based tech giant Apple has been reportedly planning to launch its upcoming iPhone 14 series in September. Ahead of launch announcement, a new report  has revealed that iPhone 14 Pro models are expected to feature always-on displays that allow users to view glanceable information without having to tap to wake the screen.

"In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman said the feature will include support for iOS 16's new Lock screen widgets for weather, fitness, and more," MacRumors reported.  "Like the Apple Watch, the iPhone 14 Pro will be able to show widgets displaying weather, calendars, stocks, activities and other data while the screen remains at a low brightness and frame rate," Gurman was quoted as saying.

As per report, the always-on display will also likely be able to show the time, date, and unread notifications indicator. In line with the Apple Watch, which has featured an always-on display mode since the Series 5, it is likely that Apple will give users the option to enable or disable the always-on display on iPhone 14 Pro models via the Settings app.

As mentioned by Gurman, the iPhone 14 Pro's always-on display mode should preserve battery life with a combination of lower brightness and a low refresh rate. Only the Pro and Pro Max models are expected to feature always-on displays, but the feature could trickle down to standard models in the future, the report said.

BGR India report also said that few reports have suggested the 2022 iPhone 14 series will come with several improvements, including a new design over the Pro model, a better camera and more. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are also said to come with a taller profile and better camera module to fit the new internals.
