It’s the same thing. I used to have a Samsung with an always on display and loved it, so I was thrilled when iPhone finally got it after I switched over.
Same deal, OLED screen, you can use it for the clock, date, weather, whatever.
The display runs dimmed unless you’re actively using it. During certain Focus settings, like Bedtime, the display turns off completely unless you wake it intentionally.
Recommend that you go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On Display and uncheck “Show Wallpaper”
This will make it so the display is mostly black when not in use. Black pixels don’t use power on OLED screens, so it will help boost your battery life.
(Actually kind a jealous. I’m boring. My background is straight black. Mostly on account of icons and readability.) (okay, so I grew up in the 90’s wallpapers aren’t supposed to be fun.)
Ah, thanks. It’s absolutely not mine and I can’t give credit because I honestly can’t remember where I appropriated it from but it’s cartoon Ragnarok. It’s cropped down a bit on my phone otherwise it scales a bit weirdly but this is the whole thing.
