These have suggested that it will be work by desaturating and dimming image elements to preserve power, while still showing their vague outline.  This is also how the AOD feature works on the Apple Watch 7 and previous Apple Watches.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has seemingly laid the groundwork for the AOD in iOS 16, which will launch alongside the iPhone 14 but is currently available in beta.  The iOS 16 beta lets users add widgets and other customizable elements to the lock screen, and their simple monochrome designs certainly seem made with the intention that they&#8217;ll be visible when the rest of the display is off.<\/p>\n<p>An always-on display also needs the right kind of panel, namely one that&#8217;s capable of displaying images at low refresh rates to avoid using too much power.  Other rumors say it will get an enhanced version of the adaptive ProMotion display that fortunately&#8217;s already found on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.  This will apparently allow the new iPhone to scale between 1Hz and 120Hz, with the former number being exactly what you&#8217;d need for an efficient AOD.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll almost certainly not know for sure whether the iPhone 14 Pro will get an always-on display until September, the month when Apple tends to reveal its new smartphone each year.
