I know we have to wait until the official announcment of the new iPhone 13 line to know for sure, but are there any credible rumors saying if the new phones will have AoD ( Always on Display )?
Got a tip for us?

Sometimes you've got to wait until Christmas morning to find out what presents you got
if it does, i’m turning it off first thing..
What has that to do with the question?
I can appreciate that in an Apple Watch but I don’t think I need that on my phone.
Let’s have a screen that shows the time than tap on it to see another screen that shows the time, than unlock it with your face to see a time widget
Great value

Hopefully it does! Looking forward to having an always on display. Absolutely loved it on my Samsung S8 and it’s great on my Watch S5.
I haven’t seen any credible rumors myself. I would welcome AoD displays on an iPhone.
LOL to the post who had to throw out that its been on Android phones for years. Haha like anybody even cares.

It's actually very handy as it shows notification icons etc
It’s been rumored that it’s happening this year, no one knows for sure though.
If it does happen, it’ll be only on the pro models, since it’ll have a adaptive refresh rate screen.

Promotion AND always on display? In the same year? This is Apple we’re talking about lol
“Expect a faster A15 chip, smaller notch, a new display for better battery life and the potential of an Apple Watch-like always on mode and a 120Hz refresh rate and upgrades to video recording.”

Gurman: iPhone 13 could feature an Apple Watch-like always-on mode
In another edition of his 'Power On' newsletter, Bloomberg Mark Gurman talks about what he expects Apple will unveil with iPhone 13.

I'd agree here. I was hoping for years that AOD would come to iPhone, but I'm actually fine without it. I do enjoy AOD on my AW, but it certainly isn't a feature I absolutely need when most notifications are pushed to my watch now.
There is no reason to limit AOD for pro models. Android has had this for years without a variable refresh screen.
Rumoured to be on this year’s iPhone. If this feature is available, it will definitely only be on the Pro models of iPhone.
Android has also had a not insignificant battery penalty for it too.
No matter the rumour I will only believe it when I see it!
Apple has well and truly played many of these “leaksters” in the past year, a lot of them landing up with egg on their face on a lot of the recent rumours.
Would be great though for those who want it.
I would have to see how the battery life is, I remember on my Galaxy S7 Edge and Note8 I kept AOD On for a while but ultimately turned it off, but on my Huawei phones AOD battery consumption was so insignificant that I left it on, currently have it on on my Mate 40 Pro.
If Apple do it I hope they are creative and ensure it is efficient and give the phones at the very least a battery the same size as iPhone 11 Pro Max battery.
I really hope so as I find it very useful just like AOD on the watch. It will be a must buy if they do
I get that part - however I’d still have to unlock FaceID to review any notifications - or have their previews permanently displayed without security on the Home Screen.
