One of the new features of the iPhone 14 Pro is the Always-On display, which reduces the refresh rate to 1Hz when the phone is not in use. users can quickly check the time and small items on the lock screen even when the screen is “off”. Tools. There is no denying that this feature will have an impact on battery life, and Apple will soon let users know about the power consumption of the Always-On display.
Even with optimizations such as reducing the screen refresh rate to 1Hz when the screen is not in use, displaying elements on the screen is still more power-hungry than not displaying anything.
Since the release of the iPhone 14 Pro, many users have shared their tests online to compare the power consumption when the all-weather display is enabled, and now Apple will provide this data directly in the iOS 16.4 system.
9to5Mac discovered in the iOS 16.4 beta code released to developers today that Apple is adding data about the battery consumption of the 24/7 display feature in the Settings app. This means that users will see a new category in the battery menu dedicated to the 24/7 display, similar to the specific categories it already shows for things like personal hotspot and no-signal coverage.
It’s too early to say for sure if the feature has been enabled in this beta, as it’s likely to be at least a few hours before iOS has enough stats to detail the battery consumption figures shown 24/7.
According to some comparative tests, the all-weather display feature can drain 20% of an iPhone 14 Pro’s battery in 24 hours. If the user chooses to enable the 24/7 display but does not use the wallpaper, the phone will consume about 14% of the battery at the same time.
