iPad Pro Would anyone else like to see an always on screen for the iPad?

[miamialley]

Having this feature on my iPhone makes me want it for my iPad. Constantly having to wake it to see the time or widget information has become annoying. Is this something others would like? Has there been any discussion of this as an iPad feature? I've not heard it mentioned.

I don't have an iPad but do like this feature on my iPhone so why not?

The sad thing is it could be a feature right now.

Absolutely not if I have to pay for it. If it’s an option that you can turn off, maybe. I have an Apple Watch if I want to look at the time.

If current always on is anything to go by, you would not see widget information being updated often if at all. Also, some people say always on make them confused with whether device is on and unlocked or not sometimes. Plus it would be a battery hog too.
But, let’s see if Apple ever bother after the release of OLED iPad.

This is something I've never thought about before. (I don't have an iPhone.) But, I do not use a passcode on my iPad. So waking it up is easy, and it happens quickly, as I don't have to enter anything. Always on, nah! Always at the ready, yes, it is.

Absolutely not. First thing I turned off on the iPhone. Even less use on an iPad. If they add the feature for those who want it and allow us to turn it off, no issue at all. (Or, in a change for Apple, allow those who want it to turn it on instead… 🤬)

Got a Smart Folio Cover, so I don't need AOD on my iPad.

I'd like to be able to glance at it for the time and to see if I have notifications, like texts or others. A quick glance can tell me whether there's something to check or not. Now, I have to physically wake it to see this. When I'm working I often have the iPad on the Magic Keyboard next to me.

I prefer just a wake on motion (as in with proximity sensor).
I need this for in wall iPads lol

No.

Well, if anything, iPad getting that always on feature would be years later after the OLED transition if said transition happens at all.

No. Priority is battery life. Not everything has to be always on, even my workstation monitor doesn't stay on all day.

I think it’s a great idea.
