iOS 16 has been in beta for a while now, and we’ve already gotten a glimpse of what Apple’s new mobile operating system has to offer, both visually and functionally. One feature that many are eagerly anticipating from this release is the ability to enable an Always-On Display, a feature that has been a feature on Android phones for half a decade.
Apple iOS 16.2 Update: Changes to Always On Display!
In case you didn't know, Always-on Display is a prominent feature on phones with OLED screens. When enabled, it gives you a glimpse of what's on your lock screen, like the date, time, and any pending notifications. But is the feature coming to iOS 16? That's what we're going to cover in this post.

While Apple Watches have had an always-on display since 2019, the feature made its debut on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Both devices come with OLED LTPO ProMotion displays, which can range in refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz. Because of such low refresh rates, the iPhone 14 Pro can show a darker version of your lock screen wallpaper, providing you with necessary information to glance at without having to tap the display.
