How to Disable iPhone 14 Pro Always-On Display
While there is no denying the fact that iPhone’s always-on display is a cut above the rest, it’s not perfect in all aspects. Though Apple claims that the always-on does not drain the battery, a handful of iPhone 14 Pro owners have reported that AOD impacts the battery life and even complained that it’s not working properly. Even though I’m not sure exactly how much power the AOD kills or the overall impact it leaves on the battery, many of you may want to turn it off in order to extend the battery life. Besides, some of you may also find the always-on display a distraction especially when you have enabled a Focus Mode. Bother not, there is a pretty easy way to turn it off as well.
- On your iPhone, head over to the Settings app -> Display & Brightness.
- Now, turn off the toggle next to Always On and you are good to go! That’s it! Going forward, you can turn off your iPhone 14 Pro by pressing the power button. And your iPhone will continue to be awake until you press the side button again or pick up the device.
