A new report lends extra weight to rumors of an always-on iPhone 13 display, a feature borrowed from the Apple Watch and generations of Android devices.
Earlier in the year, we reported on a rumor that Apple’s upcoming iPhone 13 could feature an always-on display (alongside other fresh display tech), and now the rumor has been lent further weight in a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Among current whispers of a bigger battery,120Hz refresh rate screen, smaller notch, and a boost in performance, the iPhone 13 may also be getting an LTPO (low temperature polycrystalline oxide) display just like the Apple Watch. Combining LTPO with OLED display technology would allow the phone’s screen to remain constantly on but in a much reduced capacity (ample enough to simply display time and notification icons), resulting in considerably less battery usage when compared to regular display usage.
