A dive into the iOS 16 developer beta of 9to5Mac reveals evidence of Always on Display (AoD) functionality. For SpringBoard, the iOS home screen manager, several new backlight management frameworks have been discovered with direct references to the always-on display function.
Furthermore, AoD functions have also been spotted in the lock screen which signals that the function will soon find its way. Developers can also test the feature on any device capable of running iOS 16 according to several hidden flags.
Based on the most recent rumors, Apple will bring AOD exclusively to the iPhone 14 Pro series, while older models likely won’t have the feature. Whether current models with LTPO AMOLED displays such as the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max will have access to AOD remains to be seen.
