Always On doesn't have to be always ON

Water resistance, wireless charging widgets on home screens. There's an endless list of things that have been added to iPhones after Android Phones have had them for years. like Apple's notoriously late to adding things to the iPhone I Like to sit back and let other companies beta test things and then when they do jump in, they like to plug it into their ecosystem and do it the Apple way. but sometimes that backfires.

So Android Phones have had always-on displays for about a decade now and they just added it to the newest iPhone 14 pro and it looks like this: It keeps the time and your wallpaper which is, you know, the Apple way. but I and many others after testing this have said look, even though it's one Hertz it does still feel like your phone is not actually asleep. it's too bright like it's too on. Android Phones make it super minimal for a reason.

It saves battery life and it only lights up the pixels with the information that you need. So in the newest iOS 16.2 beta guess what? Apple listened and they added toggles to keep the OAS on display, but actually turn off the wallpaper so you can save your battery and still see your time and notifications. You know the way Android Phones have done it for years now.

    I think the biggest thing is that they are actually listening to us. When they didnโ€™t when Jon was there. Hopefully in the future they will have the Apple way & the more โ€œsensibleโ€ way so that we can dictate what we want our experience to be when they release a new feature.

    Maybe you get it wrong .Maybe they wanted to do always on display the same way android does, but instead, they make it slightly weird, so fans complain, and then they add the feature they wanted to copy but now is not a copy because it was done at fans request. Now it looks like they listen, and they copy the feature like they wanted in the first place
