Devices really don’t like being powered down overnight. They do all kinds of maintenance stuff while you’re asleep. That can’t happen when it’s literally off.
Got a tip for us?

So the non-Pro iPhones will display all this content permanently as long it's charging right? If so, then it's a great feature for all iPhone users.
I have a slow-charging 3rd party stand I park my iPhone on overnight, so to have just the clock always displaying faintly is great (even if there's a Google Next Hub 2 on the other side 😏).

I picked this one up from Costco a few weeks ago, I love it. Although for some reason my phone wouldn't charge on it last night until I unplugged it and plugged it back in.I love the Belkin BoostCharge Pro series - I have the 3-in-1 and it's great. Not cheap, but very nice.

I like this one, but is the Apple Watch charger recessed?
I guess what I’m asking is, the iPhone - if placed in landscape, will there be room for the Apple Watch to charge?
TIA
i can't get stand-by mode to work with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I have my phone in landscape mode, on a stand charging. The stand-by mode will come on. It will even go red when I turn the lights off, but the display goes off after a few minutes. If I wave my arm, the phone will 'see' me and the display will come on again for a few minutes then disappear. I have the always on display option on. What am I missing?

This might be the craziest thing I've ever heard on the internet, and I once heard a lady call into a radio station complaining that the deer crossing signs where in a bad place, because the road was too busy there, and should be moved to a less busy place so the deer could cross at a safer spot.
LOVE Standby Mode! I finally got rid of an old iHome clock I had been using for years and picked up an Anker MagSafe cube. Even in the beta, it works great.
For the style I use, the font color is a blue/gray during the day and it changes to red at night.

I hope the update doesn't come with a bunch of bugs and limited thought on user options. Like the wallpaper fiasco that's still not fixed on iPhone 13 and lower options. I had updated my phone to match a new MacBook Pro I purchased. My iPhone 13 bluetooth stopped working with other devices. The wall paper issue turns black randomly. Can't even turn the feature off unless you have the iPhone 14. Like seriously wtf? This is why I almost hate updating tech because with new hardware the backwards compatibility doesn't always work if not fully thought out. Def didn't expect this from apple but more from windows since apple has a say on the hardware itself.

Does this all mean that Apple f'in finally fixed the Music app so that it works in landscape?!
I hope so, 'cause Jesus Christ this was a long wait...

Kind of reminds me when they limited Night Shift to only the 5S and newer. Like the iPhone 5 was physically incapable of displaying yellow.
The attention function doesn't seem to be working. It's not shutting off and is on high brightness. This is a 14 Pro Max with 17 latest beta. The setting says it should be shutting off. Widgets are active and everything else seems normal. .

They can do the same maintenance stuff when user is not using it, well, at least some of it. Might eat away too much battery life but if it’s charging, then it shouldn’t matter.
That lady’s complaint is crazier than that dude powering down iPhone every night.
I mean, why not?
I hope they bring this to the iPad. Would be good as a permanent photo display device when not using for other purposes
I'm sure that women with the deer crossing assumed there was a gate and feeder for animals. You read that and it sounds like she thinks deer can read, which is unlikely.
Then again, she may have strange ideas. I see this often.

Yep, this is the one I use as well, and it's great. As noted, it's expensive, but it's good. Lucky me got it for Christmas.

Personally wish they’d have differing standby configurations per focus modes. I’ve been using it at work and having calendar up is nice but as a night stand I’d want something different like weather opt sleep tracking data

Does anyone know if (on the 14 pro/pro max) you can have the always-on display option turned off in general, but then it'll still work in always-on mode in StandBy?

I just noticed this in my settings, SleepLockScreen. I think it’s for the feature in this article, BUT I am still on iOS 16.5.1 (a) on a 12 mini 🤔.

Is it possible to make the always on standby screen REALLY DIM? On iOS 16 the always on display it too bright at nighttime by my bed. My Amazon Home on the other had can be dimmed to VERY dark.
