Recommend that you go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On Display and uncheck “Show Wallpaper”
This will make it so the display is mostly black when not in use. Black pixels don’t use power on OLED screens, so it will help boost your battery life.
Or, leave the wallpaper if you’d rather.

And hide that glorious wallpaper? Pfffft
(Actually kind a jealous. I’m boring. My background is straight black.)

Did you zoom it? It’s AI crap that doesn’t make sense once you’re close.

Ah, thanks. It’s absolutely not mine and I can’t give credit because I honestly can’t remember where I appropriated it from but it’s cartoon Ragnarok. It’s cropped down a bit on my phone otherwise it scales a bit weirdly but this is the whole thing. cartoon Ragnarok

follow up dumb question: can you turn the function off?
Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Sure can. Settings > Display & Brightness.

Perhaps “always-on display” is clearer? Keeps it from turning off when idle

The ol’ Battery Burner feature.

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

An Apple expensive joke? What is this, 2011?
