Samsung has it on OLED screens.

For OLED it takes very little power to dimmily illuminate a small area of the screen and the rest is the same as it’s off.

So you can do stuff like have a clock always display without having to drain your battery as much as always having the screen “on”.

But this is Apple, so who knows if they mean the standard definition or it’s like Musk’s “full self driving” that cant drive itself.

It’s the same thing. I used to have a Samsung with an always on display and loved it, so I was thrilled when iPhone finally got it after I switched over.

Same deal, OLED screen, you can use it for the clock, date, weather, whatever.

Apple always on = 100% screen brightness 100% of the time.

If you want Dimmed always on, as you described for OLED, that’s a $19.99/month subscription

    Just following Apple’s lead by repackaging old stuff as new and charging a premium
