There have been rumors that the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro models will come with Always-On Display, and in the latest Xcode 14 Beta release, there are once again traces of Always-On Display. According to information shared by Steve Moser, Xcode 14 Beta already offers a unique lock screen interface: the on-screen widget cancels details when the screen wakes up.
The animated demo suggests that iPhone 14 Pro models may remove details and other lock screen content from the widget after the hibernation screen is activated. iOS developer @rhogelleim also suggests that a black and white version of the widget is being developed in Xcode 14 Beta, most likely in preparation for the upcoming hibernation screen.
Previously it was said that the constant display feature was limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models and required the necessary screen technology to make it possible. Sources say the two Pro models have a screen refresh rate that can be switched between 1-120Hz, a more significant improvement over the 10-120Hz of the iPhone 13 Pro series.
The 1Hz refresh rate means that the time, widgets, and notifications are visible when the iPhone is asleep. iPhone 14 Pro Series will also feature a new bangs-free design with a punch and pill “exclamation point” design.
