Confused about standby mode

[Astrohunter]

Hi,

I put my iP 13 Pro Max on a stand while charging and have Standby mode on, but after like 20s or so the display turns off.

What’s the point of this function if it doesn’t display anything?

Or is it a bug?

Have a look at Apple’s support article: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-standby-iph878d77632/ios

With the Always-On display (on iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max), StandBy stays on to show useful information. For all other iPhone models, it’s easy to activate StandBy any time by either tapping the screen, gently nudging the table your iPhone is on, or using Siri.

In each location where you charge iPhone with MagSafe, StandBy remembers your preferred view, whether that’s a clock, photos, or widgets. For example, you can have it set up for family photos in the kitchen or an alarm clock at your bedside.

It’s ridiculous you need newer model considering it’s charging anyway. Lol

I completely agree with your sentiment on this one. Apple claims that the newer models support refresh rate down to 1hz, which is what Standby Mode uses. Apple is making the Pixel phones more and more attractive if the current trend continues.

It's 10hz on the 13 Pro. But at least offer Standby Mode when it's plugged in or sitting on a Magsafe charger on the non-10hz models imo.
