All around the Internet I see people complaining about how bright the iPhone Always On Display is. But I honestly prefer it because coupled with Live Activities I actually don’t need to open my phone to get the information I need. And for the amount of useful info I get, I think the battery usage is pretty impressive. What do you guys think?

    Mine sometimes turns off as well, I’m not sure what really triggers it. Maybe when I’m using another device or something

      I’m honestly not sure, it tends to be in a dark room, almost like the phones thinking oh no turn the brightness down (auto-brightness) and it just fully turns the display off.

        There is the function where it’s designed to shut off when in your pocket. Maybe it uses the ambient light instead of proximity sensor, so it can also turn off when in a backpack or something.

          The watch definitely does this. If your sleeve covers the display it will switch off. The rest of the time it’s always on.
