Since Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro landed with the company’s first-ever always-on display, a lingering question has been how much battery the feature drains. In a detailed new test, PhoneBuff has compared how much the iPhone always-on display drains battery with and without a background compared to turning the feature completely off.<\/p>\n
Apple originally launched its take on the always-on display for iPhone 14 Pro with colored backgrounds showing up which felt it’s a bit much for some people.<\/p>\n
With iOS 16.2, Apple pleased those looking for customization as you can opt to disable the wallpaper and notifications for the always-on display. That results in a more subtle \u2013 and Android-like \u2013 always-on experience.<\/p>\n
As it turns out, after 24 hours of testing, the iPhone 14 Pro always-on really doesn’t use much battery.<\/p>\n
An important detail to remember is that would only be the case if always-on was truly always on<\/span>, which it isn’t. Your screen goes still goes fully dark when:<\/p>\n But in the worst-case scenario, always-on could use up 20% battery in 24 hours if it was on the whole time.<\/p>\n Another interesting comparison was the iPhone 14 Pro vs the Galaxy S22 Ultra for always-on drain and they both ended the 24-hour test with 84% charge after starting with 100%.
