A new rumor has indicated that the next-gen iPhone/the “iPhone 13” could feature an always-on display that could potentially light up portions for a brief period to show notifications to the user, without illuminating the entire screen.
The upcoming devices, according to Max Weinbach of EverythingApplePro, the iPhone 13 could use an always on display that will allow the lock screen to show some important elements and notifications, but won’t necessarily fully illuminate in the same way as current models do.
The clock and battery icons will apparently always be visible on the screen, even if the screen is locked, and will do so regardless of the illuminated state of the rest of the display.
Notifications displayed on the lock screen could use “a bar and icons,” with it popping up normally on the display, though not all of the screen will light up.
“Instead, it will display it just like you’re used to right now, except dimmed down and only temporarily,” said Weinbach.
Weinbach sports a decent track record when it comes along to reporting leaks, and other rumors have hinted that the iPhone 13 could feature a 120Hz iPhone display, using LTPO technology to handle the variable clock speed of ProMotion. It would also be feasible for the technology to provide an always-on function, as it does for the Apple Watch by minimizing the refresh rate to save power.
It’s also rumored that the iPhone 13 could feature a four-camera array with LiDAR, a smaller or minimal notch at the front, a port-less design without Lightning, and the return of Touch ID.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
