iPhone 15 Pro Max Are you keeping always on display on? (iPhone 15 pro max)

[840quadra]

Nope. Don’t on Android, didn’t on 14 pro either.

Waste of energy especially since the screen has come on (when picked up or touched) for years now.

I love always on display. I just wish it would stay on all the time. Especially when sitting on my wireless charger on my night stand. Or atleast give me the option to have it on always and not go to sleep.

My favorite thing about always on display is being able to swipe the home bar before waking the display. Huge quality of life improvement

I'm debating between leaving the wallpaper on or off, it looks cool but I'm worried about long term OLED degradation (my 13 pro was already starting to be washed out at lower brightness)

Battery hasn't really been a concern on my 15 Pro Max, also YouTube tests have shown me the wallpaper doesn't use much more battery than mostly black does. Must be the display controller taking most of the juice here. Although I bet in higher ambient light conditions it would make more of a difference, food for thought

I have to say we would have heard about burn in by now so leaving it on may not be a problem.

Plenty of people have burn in unfortunately on these displays

 

[ManuCH]

I keep it off. I tried to keep it on for several days, but I find it extremely distracting (it looks to me as if there's some notification I missed), and it uses way too much battery.

I like it on, but I temper it by turning off raise to display. The wallpaper is off for AOD as well.

I also usually put the phone face down on a table which theoretically shuts off AOD. I can’t confirm that for obvious reasons .

 

[hamiltonDSi]

I've never liked always on display so it's off. Turned it off on my Watch 9 too.

same

 

[Tdevilsg]

I keep it off.

My apple watch is my AOD.

 

[Khavik]

Can I have a screen always on in standby mode while having AOD off? I want to have all-night alarm clock but I'm not a fan of AOD in general

I am also moving from 11PM to 15 PM but I still have to wait 3-10 days

You can now yes

17.1 made this possible

Coming from an 11 pro, so this is a new feature to me. I think I kind of like the always on display, but am I suffering from huge battery drain? Have people turned it off and having battery battery life ?

I keep toggling between it being on and off - my issue is that I keep thinking there is something going on on my phone when it’s sitting next to my laptop when I am working.
I currently have it on, so if I don’t want it distracting me I turn the phone face down.
Have it with wallpaper turned off, does not drain much battery in this setup.

 

[Ifti]

I switch it off on my phone and watch. It’s not a feature I need.

Have kept Always on Display 'on'

 

[Mikeske]

I have a 15 Pro but it has the always on display and I have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and I always just leave them on. I got the devices for a particular reason and it is because I wanted the always on display and since I am retired I always near a charger. No reason to turn them off. I did do one thing and that is shut off wallpaper on the always all display as I found it looks better in my opinion with the black screen.

Turning AOD off will give you additional battery life albeit minutes not hours

 

[Zest28]

I paid for it so I'm gonna use it.

My Apple Watch Ultra 2 can get 3+ days of battery life with AOD turned on, so I highly doubt it should have a big impact on the iPhone 15 Pro Max too.

But if you really want to maximise battery life, it is best to turn it off ofcourse. Since my iPhone 15 Pro Max isn't dead at the end of the day, I have no reason to turn AOD off (yet).

 

[Jackbequickly]

I have never used this feature. With an Apple Watch there is no need.

Stop posting false information. Do you know anyone personally who has burn in issues because of the AOD?

Actually I had on my AW5 I had battery indicator in the same place for 4 years so small part of it burned but it was almost unseen and notocable only if there was something white on screen around it

 

[bbates123]

Interesting how many people don't have it on. It's one of the main reasons I upgraded from my 13 mini. I love that I rarely miss notifications now for things like messages, Teams chats, emails, etc. Even though I have notifications turned on for these things on my Ultra, for some reason it seems like I miss too many on the watch.

 

[1rottenapple]

To me it’s distracting. It’s like my Brain craves the notification. I found my self looking at my phone screen for notification. I turned it off eventually. Then went back to a se 2022 and now bought a 13 mini again after selling mine last year to buy the 14 pro.

 

[thatJohann]

When I’m at home lounging watching tv I have it set to On. When I leave my home I turn it off to save battery

 

[zorinlynx]

I originally thought always-on display was draining my battery a lot, but I think it was just because optimization was going on during the first couple days I had the phone, so it was an illusion when I turned off always on display and battery life vastly improved.

I've since turned it back on and my battery life is fine. I'll turn it off if I know I'm going to be out the entire day and need every bit of battery life, but even then it doesn't matter because it will spend most of the day in my pocket and thus the AOD will be off.

 

[BugeyeSTI]

I use it with the wallpaper disabled.. Hasn't changed my battery usage from what I can tell
