It’s one of the biggest new features of the iPhone 14 Pro (Max): the Home screen can always be a little on. But how can you turn off this always-on display of the iPhone 14?
Always-on display: finally on the iPhone
Although other smartphones have had this option for some time, we are now finally seeing the always-on screen with the iPhone 14 Pro (Max). With this, you can still read the time or notifications from apps, for example, if you have locked the iPhone and it is quietly on your desk.
Where other phones only show the time, Apple goes a step further. With the iPhone 14 Pro, you can even see the background and your notifications. According to various reviews, this function eats some of your battery. So that’s why this tip: you can turn off the always-on screen with the iPhone 14.
Turn off always-on display of iPhone 14 Pro
An always-on screen is extremely useful, but does it also ‘eat’ the battery? On the one hand, Apple reports that the renewed ProMotion display can lower the refresh rate of the iPhone 14 Pro (Max) to 1 Hz. This means that this screen (which is always on) only refreshes once per second. That should ensure minimal wear to the battery, right?
On the other hand, we can also imagine that it is less good for your battery at all. Your screen is always on. Those notifications can also make you very uncomfortable flow to fetch. Do you find this screen only distracting and would you like to save those few percent battery per day? Then you can read below how you can turn off the always-on screen of the iPhone 14 Pro (Max).

Other new features of iPhone 14 Pro
The always-on display is one of the new features of the iPhone 14 Pro. In addition, the Dynamic Island and the improved cameras are the biggest eye-catchers. The oval bar has been ridiculed on the internet and by developers many times, but it turns out to be extremely useful in practice.
We now have the normal iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max in our hands. So expect a review of these phones in the coming week. Until then, enjoy our first impression of the iPhone 14 Pro (Max).
