I’m curious to know whether the majority of iPhone users in this forum uses the always-on display (AOD) feature or not?

A quick Google search on other forums seems to have 50-50 preference.

If you don’t use it, why?

nope, to preserve battery life

Battery life. lift/tap to wake, wear watch. Don’t need AOD

No. Lift to wake is good for me. Not staring at my phone always.

nope. because got apple watch

nope, save battery

nope, battery saver

Looks like majority in this forum does not use AOD. Top two reasons so far are battery life concerns and no use for it as Apple Watch serves the AOD/notifications function.

yes, i buy the phone so expensive i am gonna use it

Nope, always OFF.

Is as useless as the auto start/stop function in modern cars.

It's a FEAETURE, u like it then u turn it on , u dont like it , then just switch it off , we dont bias it and call it as a rubbish or useless feature because we dont use it while it might be super useful feature for somebody


especially u are busy in the kitchen , u washing plate , u cooking something , ur hand is full of dirt , u washing the car and full of soap ,...with AOD, u just put ur phone on the table and don't need to touch ur phone and u can get to know the time....because sometime u will be in rush , so u need to keep on monitor your time to done the task , with AOD u dont need keep trigger up ur screen just to look for the time.

Not to mention , AOD is super useful when in meeting room , because u can directly look into your clock time without keep touching ur phone...

And not everyone like to wear a watch and i dont think modern house nowaday like to hanging or having CLOCK in house....

Of course use it.

Whoaaa..calm down bro. Dont be so easily triggered.
Sorry to upset you by my disparaging remarks on your fav feature. I would too, if someone hentam stuff that I like.

That being said, I still think this FEATURE is USELESS.
And yes, I turn the bloody thing OFF...ALWAYS.

To each his own😋

Yes. Just like I have always-on in the Apple Watch too.

Phone never meant to always on
Is a new way to adapt life to new tech/feature
Apple watch yes. Make sense. Phone no
Maybe my future life need an always on thou, just like how hav been desc by TS

Yes, I use Always On Display (AOD), but I have it set on a preset schedule. During the day, I turn it off using focus mode, and in the evening or at night, I turn it back on through automation and shortcuts. Overheating is often the main cause of the green line issue, and since AOD can contribute to overheating, I manage it this way to reduce the risk.

On my Apple Watch, I don’t use AOD—I stick to raising my wrist to turn on the display because AOD drains the battery. With this setup, I can get three days of battery life on my Apple Watch Ultra 2. For my iPhone, I use AOD but with a preset schedule, managed through automation with shortcuts and focus modes. At night, I use a MagSafe dock, so my watch doubles as a bedside clock.

I always been using my Always On Display,

it's pretty smart to be honest, when face down or in pocket it will just be turn off.

This features been turn on since day 1 for me and i didn't see any issue with it.
Pretty reassuring to have no notification on my screen while I'm working or gaming on the workstation.

Of course I do have set the priority for notification mainly to be importance ones without giving any slots to social media apps.

All in all, it's a extra screen of 1 fps with the wallpaper that I liked, why skip the features.

I'm using on my iPhone 16 Pro less distraction. If phone face down or pocket screen go off

nothing special use on phone. phone is not watch. even zaman dulu use samsung also tak pakai ni aod.
