One of the great novelties that has come to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max through iOS 16 is the famous always-on screen, a function that was already present on the Apple Watch but is now also present on the iPhone. However, as is natural, it consumes more battery, so in this post we will tell you how you can solve it.
All users of these new devices had hoped that the always-on screen of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max would not have a great impact on the autonomy of the equipment but, unfortunately, this has not been the case and of course, after these first weeks of use, those who deactivated this function are having more battery hours than those who have not, which indicates that finally it does consume more battery than many would like.
First solution, disable the always on display
The first solution that we want to propose to you is quite obvious, but perhaps many users do not know that this function can be easily disabled from the settings of the iPhone itself. Also, if you really don’t have any widget on the screen that provides you with relevant information, you won’t miss anything either, so it would be much more advisable to deactivate it and thus you can have more battery on your iPhone. The steps to follow are those.
- On your iPhone, open the app Settings.
- Click on screen and brightness.
- Deactivate «always show«.
