iPhone 13 – Always-on Display
With the last quarter sales of iPhone has touched new grounds in 2020, now experts have an eye on the 2021 iPhone line-up – iPhone 13. With these new leaks and insider information are floating out, one such info is being shared by a well-known leaker Max Weinbach and EverythingApplePro about a flurry of next-gen iPhone leaks. The most fascinating description in the leaks was an always-on display.
This means that a battery-efficient 120Hz LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) display will mimic your lock screen and will be in analogy with on some Android handsets that deliver a handful of information without any input. So, your screen will consecutively display only the battery and clock but a “bar and icons” would be showing your notifications. These notifications will pop up on your screen but only momentarily.

So if Apple aiming to always-on display would demand technological advances. So they will visit LPTO which is responsible for making always-on screens viable in recent Apple Watches. So, Apple can be close enough to aim so without making some sacrifices to develop iPhone 13.
