One of the biggest specifications of iOS 16 is the 'Always-On display' feature.

The new operating system by Apple enhances the iPhone with all-new personalisation features, deeper intelligence and easier ways to communicate and share.
The Apple's 'Far Out' event which took place on Wednesday saw the Cupertino-based tech company launch several new products including iPhone 14 series.

But apart from the hardware, all eyes were also on iOS 16, which is scheduled to be made public from September 12.

The new operating system by Apple enhances the iPhone with all-new personalisation features, deeper intelligence and easier ways to communicate and share.


One of the biggest specifications of iOS 16 is the 'Always-On display' feature, which is similar to the one Android has been using for ages now. However, only the Pro variants of iPhone 14 will come packed with iOS 16. The upcoming software update will also let users personalise their Lock Screen by showcasing their favourite photos and customise font styles.

The iOS 16 will also give users the option to choose the widgets they want to display on their screen.

Widgets on the Lock Screen let users glance at data like the weather, calendar events, date, time zones, battery level and more. With the new iOS 16, you can now create different Lock Screens for your iPhone, each consisting of a unique backdrop and style.
