The iPhone thirteen fast approaches and we've heard quite a number of rumors about it in recent months. Some suggest photographic camera upgrades, others 120Hz ProMotion displays on the Pro models, but at that place'south one that caught my attention and I haven't been able to let it become.

It'south possible that the iPhone thirteen will finally, finally, have an e'er-on display (AOD) option. It seems featherbrained, I know, simply hear me out: AOD is something you lot tin find on almost whatsoever Android phone, though its true utility shines on phones with OLED panels.

To be clear, I'one thousand not talking near having the entire brandish lit upward in full color. What I mean is a minimal display setting that shows the time, date, and other pertinent info like weather, notifications, and agenda appointments. Information technology'southward incredibly helpful if y'all keep your telephone on your desk and just desire to catch the fourth dimension or see what notifications y'all have awaiting. On Android phones, the notifications will usually pop up, then relegate themselves to the app icons.

Seeing as I use an iPhone 12 Pro total-time, AOD is i of the features I miss most about an Android telephone like the Pixel v or OnePlus 9 Pro. I leave my phone to sit on my desk and it would exist awesome to expect over and meet what's going on at a glance. With the changes to notifications coming in iOS xv, I think Apple could really nail this feature (particularly with keeping conversations surfaced).

Considering how skillful the iPhone 12 Pro already is, I don't discover myself wanting for much. And since the iPhone 12 models all apply OLED panels, and AOD feature could easily be dorsum-ported to them, but I have my doubts.

Perhaps Apple tree will keep such a seemingly pocket-sized feature exclusive to the iPhone xiii and beyond. I don't wait there to be much of an impact on battery life given that the effect over on Android phones is negligible. More choice isn't a bad thing!

All that said, the idea of an e'er-on display choice for the iPhone 13 is exciting. I actually promise it comes to fruition.
