Apple introduced the always-on display feature with the iPhone 14 Pro, and it continues with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. While many users appreciate this feature, some have concerns about its impact on battery life. As a response, Apple now allows users to disable the always-on display if they choose not to use it.

The simplest way to disable the always-on display on your iPhone is to let it turn off when not in use. When you’re not looking at the screen (e.g., when it’s in your pocket or face down), the always-on display will automatically deactivate after a short period.
