14 DAY TRIAL // While for some people it might seem a little bit too early to discuss all the new features coming to the iPhone 13, we already know that Apple is considering a series of big changes, including dropping the Lightning connector entirely, some camera improvements, and even the return of Touch ID.
A new video published by EverythingApplePro and based on information shared by industry watcher Max Weinbach indicates that the upcoming iPhone could come with an always-on feature.
If the whole thing sounds familiar to you, it’s because AOD has been around for quite a while, and it’s one of the common features in the Android device ecosystem.
What it does is as simple as it could be: AOD displays essential information, such as the clock, the date, missed calls, and other data, on the screen even when the device is locked. In theory, the impact on battery life minimal, though in the case of Samsung, I personally noticed a 10 percent drop caused by AOD alone.
Launch due in September
Apple wants its smartphones to come with similar capabilities, so the upcoming iPhone 13 could introduce AOD as well. And of course, the feature wouldn’t be too different from what we’re already having on Android these days, though, in pure Apple fashion, we should expect the Cupertino-based tech giant to introduce the new system with much fanfare.
The new iPhone 13 is expected to launch in September, as this time the Apple wants to make sure in advance that no delay would impact its smartphone lineup.
In other words, Apple’s upgrades for the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max are all supposed to launch in September, with sales to kick off later the same month. More info on the feature lineup is likely to surface as we approach the September launch.
