iOS 16 to Feature Support for Always-On Mode For iPhone 14 Pro Models, “Social Network-Like Functionality” in Messages
In his latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman suggests some of the changes that he expects to come with iOS 16 at the WWDC 2022. According to the report, the upcoming build will feature an enhanced Lock Screen with “wallpapers that have widgets-like capabilities.” The new Lock Screen features in iOS 16 will potentially pave way for Always-On functionality coming with iPhone 14 Pro models later this year. Gurman suggests that the forthcoming firmware actively features support for Always-On functionality on the iPhone. However, current iPhone models will potentially miss out. Other than this, Apple is also expected to bring “social network-like functionality” to Messages with the launch of iOS 16. It was previously heard that iOS 16 will come with new ways of interacting with the system along with fresh Apple apps. Mark Gurman brings some interesting details forward regarding the upcoming updates. Gurman believes that the Always-On functionality will be available on iPhone 14 Pro models later this year and will include support in iOS 16. The iPhone 13 Pro models currently feature an LTPO panel that has the capability of variating refresh rates between 120Hz and 10Hz. On the iPhone 14 Pro models, we are expecting Apple to include upgraded LTPO panels capable of dropping to as low as 1Hz. If the rumors are true, the iPhone 14 Pro might come with Always-On functionality due to no hardware limitations. If you are unfamiliar, check out what you should expect from Apple’s WWDC 2022 event.
