Got excited about standby mode until I realised you need an AOD to prevent the screen from constantly turning off.
Anyone agree it makes it pointless without always on display?

The phone needs to be charging if the screen is rendering an image continuously (all night, for example). You’d have people complaining that their battery was 75% drained overnight if the power supply wasn’t a requirement. Apple is much smarter than 99.9% of the population.But still, this seems like an unnecessary limitation given that it requires the phone to be plugged in already.

I think you misunderstood - the display turns off even if the power is connected.The phone needs to be charging if the screen is rendering an image continuously (all night, for example).

They know what should be done.
Standby Mode doesn't mean the screen is always on at night.
I have a 14 pro.Um, yes it does if you have an iPhone 14 or newer.
I have a 14 pro.
I have AOD enabled. As to why Apple didn't offer this to the 13 Pro, I don't know. Maybe someone else can offer a reason outside of Apple being Apple.Then maybe you can clear this up...
I have a 13 pro and the screen turns off after 20 seconds in Standby Mode. This is the same for your 14 Pro with Always-On Display enabled? If this is same behavior with AOD enabled, then what advantage do you have with Standby Mode on a 14 that I don't have on a 13? Or maybe you don't have AOD enabled?
I have AOD enabled.
"Continuous StandBy mode requires an iPhone with an Always-on display, and this feature is only available on iPhone 14 Pro or later Pro devices."
As to why Apple didn't offer this to the 13 Pro...
I tested again with the Belkin 2in1 as well as with the standard Apple wired and both did as I stated.According to every article I have read, if you have an iPhone with AOD, then Standby Mode is supposed to stay on, not go blank or turn off after 20 seconds. I don't know why else AOD would be mentioned specifically when discussing Standby Mode.
Make Your iPhone's StandBy Mode Come On and Stay On
StandBy is a customizable Lock Screen mode in iOS 17 that activates only when an iPhone is positioned on its side (i.e. horizontally in landscape...www.macrumors.com
iOS 17's StandBy Mode is amazing — but there’s a huge catch

Now I am really curious why your 14 Pro with AOD enabled would not be staying on, when everything is saying it should be.
Hardware limitations, AFAIK. But from what you are describing, your 14 Pro in Standby Mode is behaving exactly like Standby Mode on my 13 Pro.

I made sure low power mode is off and I definitely a 14 Pro that has AOD all the time except on standby mode.I believe you. It's just very curious that your 14 with AOD is acting exactly the same as my 13 without AOD.
All the articles are stating that an iPhone with AOD will have a "Continuous" Standby Mode, while an iPhone without AOD will shut off after 20 seconds.
Hence this thread... what's the point of Standby Mode when the display won't stay on? The Tom's Guide article I posted above really nailed it.

Mine stays on all night. 14 Pro MaxStandby Mode doesn't mean the screen is always on at night. It comes on for about 30 seconds and then turns off unless the phone screen detects movement. If it does, then it comes back on for another 30 seconds. Rinse and repeat process.
For the same reason people have clocks (real) on their nightstand and clock apps on their devices. To tell the time.Can somebody please ELI5 me why it is needed? Usually when i go to sleep i know what time is it and don’t wake up until my alarm goes on. If it goes on, then i already know it is 7am - freaking time to go to work.
I just use my gshocks by turning into my face when that happens 3 times in a year.For the same reason people have clocks (real) on their nightstand and clock apps on their devices. To tell the time.
You don't ever wake up at night or have never been woken up?
