iOS 16 Might Finally Give The iPhone An Always-On Display
According to a Bloomberg report, the next series of iPhones might feature an always-on display function that would be added to iOS 16. Rumors are flying around as the upcoming Apple events get closer and closer to fruition. Since the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020 that forced the cancellation of in-person Apple events, the company's special events have been held in an all-virtual format. Although it is undoubtedly a different experience, Apple brings people closer to the action in their virtual events with stunning visuals that highlight their devices' newest features. One of those new features might just be an always-on display, a function that has been on competing Android phones for quite some time.
Users will get a taste of the feature additions set to come to iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, macOS and tvOS in the coming days, with the Worldwide Developers Conference and its special event keynote in early June. The Worldwide Developers Conference is held by Apple each year and brings developers in to showcase the changes made to the company's software to be released in the fall. While the special event does serve as a neat preview, some of the full features won't be unveiled until Apple's annual fall special event. This is where the newest iPhones are revealed, and some crucial features are reserved for the latest devices.
