iPhone 14 Pro: Will always-on display consume battery?

Apple’s new iPhone 14 Pro features an always-on display that lets you see content on the lock screen when the phone is locked. If you are a heavy user, you may be concerned about whether AOD on iPhone 14 Pro affects battery life. Here’s what you need to know about the power consumption of the iPhone 14 Pro AOD Kit.

Android phones have had always-on display capabilities for some time. They help you keep track of time, incoming notifications, and more without turning on your phone screen. Apple's iPhone 14 Pro is the first iPhone to feature AOD, and Apple's implementation of the feature is very different than what we're used to. Rather than turning off the entire screen and keeping just the clock and some elements visible, the iPhone 14 Pro simply dims the lock screen while keeping wallpapers and other elements visible on the lock screen. This has led many to wonder if this feature will drain battery life. Let's find out!

Will the always-on display drain the iPhone 14 Pro battery?

It’s true that turning on the always-on display drains the battery of your iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max. According to user feedback, this battery loss is not obvious, but is approximately between 4% and 8%. Apple optimizes AOD's battery consumption by reducing display brightness, dimming the screen, and dynamically reducing the screen refresh rate when the iPhone is locked. All of these can reduce the consumption of battery power by AOD, but the fact that extra power is consumed when the screen is on cannot be denied.

So if you’re planning a trip or going to a place where you know power outlets are scarce, it might be a good idea to turn off AOD on your iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max.
