I used it on Samsung Galaxy Note8 before. Not that much effect on battery life, barely noticeable.
Got a tip for us?

But it eats 2 spaces of the four you only get right now.
So exciting to see that maybe a feature that's a decade old on every other device except iPhone will be get a slide in the sales pitch in the fall.

A "simulated" LED notification light in the top corner of the screen pulsing would be nice. Multiple colors for different apps / notifications or even the design of the app icon itself would be cool.
The android color border notification style (I don't even know if they still have those apps) was nice, but I know battery suffered and some people commented that it wasn't consistent.

Again, making assumptions about people habits and needs... That's not great start for a discussion.
But anyway.
> They can’t remember the time from 5 mins ago?
No, they can't if they don't look at the phone constantly or they don't want to be slaves of the phone. If you go away from your phone (i.e. to the restroom) and then come back, how can you know what you've missed without manually turning the screen on and checking the phone like trained monkey? You can't. (if you don't wear smart watch)
So hey, don't expect everyone has same habits and needs like you. Some people appreciate digital wellbeing and detaching from the routine of checking the phone every now and then.
Brand apologists are the worst human beings on the planet and leads to stagnant innovation and poor products. It’s almost as if political divisiveness has moved towards products.

Always on is a nice to have feature. But you don’t always need the time all the time
You may not but many do. Give everyone the OPTION just like android does.
This may be some news for you, but always on is not just about time.
It shows missed notifications and seems like Apple implementation will show also some additional widgets data as well. If you wear Apple Watch, this may not sound that interesting to you. But if you are one of us, who do not wear watch (and will not wear it in the future), this is actually very useful. You see notifications just by glancing over the phone at any time. No need to interact with it in any way. This helps you to disconnect from the internet and improve your digital wellbeing. (It's always great to live more offline than to be slave of your phone - so many people addicted to their phones nowadays)
It’s amazing you have to explain a feature to people that has been in existence and widely relied upon by android users for a decade.
Certainly would use it. Always been a fan of AOD
Probably not a feature I would use if I get the 14 Pro, but for anyone who has been wanting this feature, you’ll have it. It would be great if the 14 Pro also got USB-C to increase transfer speeds especially if it gets 8K recording.
Never said more secure. Just saying USB is trash. Advocating for more USB seems ... unproductive.
Okay secure is the wrong word. You believe lightning has less chance of failure than USB?
Lightning is the connector and USB is the protocol... to begin with.
So you (he) can't even compare these two, because it makes no sense.
Also - is USB really that bad for the end user? I mean, when did you experience any actual issues with using USB devices? Surely I remember some restarts and BSODs in the early days of USB on Windows, but can't remember any issues in the last decade or so (at least no issues on my MacBooks).
iPhone 13 can already go down to greyscale and 10hz which uses almost no battery.
Joke if it’s iPhone 14 pro only. Which it Will be.

Sadly, I've had even my MacBook Air die when trying to copy large amounts of files to a usb disk. Around 10GB or so it craps out. Even a recent usb disk with the usb2/usb3 connector option, so not some lame usb 1.1 device. Always had issues with USB when using it for something "real", other than a 5v lightbulb. Small sticks and small files usually are ok. Big storage disks? Nah. My black MacBook did the same, and my Linux hairs before that, and Windows PC before that. Every one of 'em. Always unreliable, USB is. Always something.
Too bad FireWire never had a fair chance, but no one wanted to pay for good stuff (world is too cheap and average folk don't understand it anyway). VHS vs. Betamax again 😁
USB is what we got, tho. Well.. I don't. Y'all enjoy it tho. My tears won't be added to that pot (anymore).
you can choose what device is shown on the lockscreen battery widget by tapping on it and disabling the automatic mode.
But you won't get a numeric percentage unless you use the larger widget.

The same sensor that keeps the screen off when you are on a call will keep it off in a flip cover and/or your pocket. Or when the phone is laying on the desk screen down, which is how I like to keep it because there's rarely any reason to check my notifications more than once per hour, especially when I'm working.
Notification privacy also won't be an issue
as previews won't show until the device is unlocked with FaceID.
