The iPhone 13 could come with an always-on display, just like the Apple Watch. This small feature can bring about a huge change in the way we use our phones.

Enable Always On Display on any iPhone – iOS 16.1 or later
According to leaks published by 9to5Mac, the next iPhone will have an always-on display that looks like a "dimmed lock screen." It will show the clock and battery status, and notifications will appear without lighting up the entire screen to show them. That sounds neat, but what can an iPhone with an always-on display do?
"Rumour has it that, at a minimum, an always-on lock screen iPhone will have time and battery, plus a system for showing apps that have notifications pending," Weston Happ, director of product development at Merchant Maverick, told Lifewire via email. "Whether the iPhone 13 will have special cool features like to-do lists or album art is highly correlated to battery life and the profits Apple thinks they can achieve."
The new iPhone is also expected to use Apple's ProMotion display technology, found in the iPad Pro, which allows the display to change its refresh rate. When scrolling, it refreshes at 120Hz, for maximum touch sensitivity and smoother animation. When the image on the screen is still, the refresh rate drops to save battery.
