    Always on, idle idle Always On display

    Always on, in use active Always On display

    The display runs dimmed unless you’re actively using it. During certain Focus settings, like Bedtime, the display turns off completely unless you wake it intentionally.

      Recommend that you go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On Display and uncheck “Show Wallpaper”

      This will make it so the display is mostly black when not in use. Black pixels don’t use power on OLED screens, so it will help boost your battery life.

      Or, leave the wallpaper if you’d rather.

        And hide that glorious wallpaper? Pfffft

        (Actually kind a jealous. I’m boring. My background is straight black. Mostly on account of icons and readability.) (okay, so I grew up in the 90’s wallpapers aren’t supposed to be fun.)

        Ah, thanks. It’s absolutely not mine and I can’t give credit because I honestly can’t remember where I appropriated it from but it’s cartoon Ragnarok. It’s cropped down a bit on my phone otherwise it scales a bit weirdly but this is the whole thing. cartoon Ragnarok

        Did you zoom in? It’s AI crap that doesn’t make sense once you’re close.

          That is very good AI art, if it’s AI art. Pretty sure it’s Norse mythology inspired- I think the snake is Jormungandr and the lil dude with the hammer is Thor. So it might be AI making the art weird or it might be the source material making the art weird lmao

            They legit don’t have any faces or arms. That “Thor” has a weird, flesh coloured, Megaman buster-shaped appendage, no eyes and a gaping hole of a mouth.

            It’s not obvious at a glance, but each of those “characters” are amorphous blobs. Seriously, zoom in even a little, it’s really strange to look at.

            I appreciate the poster demonstrating always-on to OP, and I’d never criticize them for using this wallpaper, but the only way you can call this “very good AI art” is by glancing at a thumbnail and moving on.

              I just assumed it was a weird minimalist style or a terrible quality photo making it look weird, honestly. I didn’t examine it closely.

              Looking at it on desktop, wow the faces are awful.

      follow up dumb question: can you turn the function off?

        Sure can. Settings > Display & Brightness.

              Curious if you have any thoughts on the benefits of the 15 pro vs the base 15 iPhone. If you think it’s with the extra money? Especially in respect to the camera.

                I’m a “use what works for you” kind of person. I’ve been using the Pro Max iterations of the iPhone lately because mainly I like the camera. Having my phone with me out on a hike is better than hauling an extra piece of kit and I like having a bigger screen because I’m middle aged and I have to do the holding everything 2 feet away arm extension to read. Realistically, there’s nothing I would call a major difference among the models.
