How Power-hungry is the Always On Display in the iPhone 14 Pro

[bitheerani93]

Always On Display has finally appeared on the iPhone. Many people have been waiting for Always On Display since it appeared on smart watches. But Apple was in no hurry to implement it on its smartphones. As it turned out earlier, Apple could not implement this function on iPhones due to problems with high battery consumption. But then the iPhone 14 came out and the long-awaited Always On Display has now appeared on Apple smartphones.

There are still a few dominican republic mobile database questions: How much will this impact your iPhone's battery life, and is it a good idea to leave the feature on all the time?

What is the battery consumption in Always On Display mode?
In the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models, the Always On Display function is made possible by OLED screen technology. This screen is capable of reducing the refresh rate to one Hz. For example, screens of smartphones from other manufacturers, such as Android smartphones, support a minimum refresh rate of 60 Hz. It turns out that the screen in the new iPhone 14 Pro can operate at a frequency 60 times lower than most budget smartphones.

That's why Apple added Always On Display to the new 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. While your iPhone is locked, iOS lowers the refresh rate to 1 Hz and consumes almost no battery power. There were some enterprising users who tested Always On Display on the iPhone 14 Pro. Here are the test conditions:

Measurements were taken in an 8-hour interval, from 9 am to 5 pm.
The SIM card was removed.
iPhone was not used during the test.
The smartphone had several basic applications configured and one social network running in the background.
The test was conducted over just two days: one day, Always On Display was enabled on the iPhone. The next day, the function was disabled. The test was conducted when the iPhone battery charge reached one hundred percent. Here's what happened:

iPhone 14 Pro with Always On Display turned on discharged to 94%. iPhone 14 Pro with Always On Display turned off retained 100% charge.

It is important to remember that this is only an approximate test, and you cannot rely 100% on its results. You may have noticed that the iPhone holds its charge the longest when the battery is full, 100%. And it rarely happens that your iPhone will not receive calls or notifications at this moment. All this affects the consumption one way or another.
