like many others, I have the watch and it seemed redundant, so I turned it off on my 14 pm and now 15 pm.
I did leave it on for the first few months on 14pm as it was a feature I looked forward to having for many years, but once I did have it, I realized it was not as cool as I thought it would be, so it has been off. As far as burn in fears, I don't know how that could be an issue as Apple has had aod oled on their watches for years and I have never seen one have burn in, but I guess for some, it somehow has been a thing.

I kept it on with my 14 Pro Max, and the battery seemed to hold well, so I've got it on with my 15 Pro Max as well. Both times are with the background on. One of my favorite features.
Turned it off since day 1 of purchasing the iPhone. Maybe fine for other people to leave it on, but it comes down to our own personal preference of what we choose to do with the phone.

I turn it on all the time. This blue graphic wallpaper perfectly fits with my Titanium Blue iPhone 15 Pro Max. In standby mode with always display on, that wallpaper become more dim with those 3D graphic visible only in at the center, rest of the whole screen black, thus taking advantage of OLED display to save the battery life.

The owners of Titanium Blue iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max use this wallpaper at your home screen, locked screen and standby mode, you will love the overall the way the graphic within your wallpaper matches with the blue color. Even when it goes to standby mode, the faded wallpaper won't loose its charm.

I'm still getting used to it, i kept peeking over at the lighted screen thinking there's a new notification. But I'm mostly enjoying this new feature. My phone is perpetually on silent and i like that I can see any new notifications without having to activate the display.
I turned it off. 9 years ago I had a Sony Android phone with an always-on display and it drove me crazy that you couldn’t turn off the always-on display.
Same here exactly. I’ve used it since day 1. I like to be able to glance at my phone and see the time without picking it up.
The only time I ever turn it off is when I know I'm going to have a heavy phone usage day, such as at a theme park.
I think the always on display is great.

It kinda already does that. When it's getting late at night, the screen shuts itself all the way off. At least it does for me.
I tried it and it was still too bright at night so I turned it off. I am asking for a charging dock for Christmas so I can utilize things like Standby mode so I might try again in the future.
For me I find no difference to leave the iPhone AOD on, since my 14PM and now 15 PM, the battery is OK 
Older thread, but while keeping AOD on for the first few months, I've now turned it off on my 15PM. Maybe as part of "New Years Resolution" energy, or also because I'm now in my 40s and trying to be more present / less phone-addicted, I find the AOD adds to my "constant awareness" of my phone, curiosity on whether I have notifications, etc. That half-second distraction (whether at work or at home), I'm trying to now cut out of my life. This is even with an Apple Watch (and I've had an Apple Watch since Series 2).
I've had AOD off for a week now and I like it much better as part of my lifestyle and how I want my phone to fit into it.

I totally get this. Been on macrumors since early 2000 in college and now in my 40s and yah I'm kinda over the tech stuff and trying to be present. Most of my notifications are in summary now, got rid of my 14 pro AOD and went to 13 mini again. Got rid of my iPad Pro. Trying to use my iPod for music more, less distractions. Even bought a keyfob for my Tesla so I can leave my phone behind. My watch even has message notifications silent. Frankly concentration is better and my mind is clearer. This is why I don't really care about the Vision Pro. Seems like something I would not want in my life.
On. I like being able to glance at it to see the time or if there any notifications. It's been on since it came out and there's no screen burn and no discernible effect on battery life.
