I know there’s been a few postings regarding AOD for the iPhone 14 Pros but I created a Poll to see what everyone thinks and feels like doing with having the feature on or off on their new 14 Pros. Let me know what you think!
 
On. My Watch does not do AOD so it's really useful.

Also, it is only on when I am nearby and the phone is not in my pocket.

I had mine on for the last week but just turned it off yesterday. Battery life is slightly less, so not a big concern. However, seeing the screen on all the time constantly makes me think I had a notification and it was driving me crazy 😆

I'll probably turn it back on in a few weeks once the battery settles in.

I’m keeping it on. I like being able to glance at my phone to see if I have any notifications. I’ve found that with AOD on I’m not randomly tapping my phone to see if I missed any notifications. I do use a sleep focus so the screen is off during that time.

I keep it on. As others noted, I like being able to see the time and widgets on the lock screen. I turned AOD for a day and I didn't notice a drastic increase in battery life anyway.

On as along as I can end my day with some battery life remaining. It’s an incredible feature can’t wait for the live updates, that will be game changing for sure

I'm a bit surprised that people would immediately turn this off. Wouldn't it be interesting to try it for a week or two before deciding?

I'm leaving it on. Whenever I first get an iPhone the battery life sucks regardless because I'm constantly on it. Now that my usage is settling back to normal its not a problem.
 
I turn it on when I want it on, off otherwise. I've found it handy if I am doing stuff around the house but want to keep an eye on messages/the time easily with a glance.

You might say "Apple Watch," but I just don't wear it daily.
