Apple’s recent announcement at WWDC 2023 has unveiled yet another exciting update for iPhone users. During the event, Apple introduced a new feature that allows your iPhone to function as a smart display while charging and placed on its side. This innovative feature aims to provide users with glanceable information that is easily readable even from a distance.

Apple also lets users use Always-on Display with StandBy

With this new feature, the iPhone can show essential information such as the current time and weather outside. However, Apple takes customization into account, since it offers a wide range of clock styles and widgets for users to choose from. Additionally, StandBy, the name of this feature, supports Smart Stacks, ensuring that the right information is displayed at the right time automatically.

Not only can you personalize the display according to your preferences, but you can also set a favorite photo to appear when your iPhone is charging. This feature is particularly handy for those who wish to have a cherished memory showcased every time they glance at their device. Moreover, StandBy integrates seamlessly with Live Activities and Siri, enhancing the overall user experience.

For users utilizing MagSafe, StandBy even remembers your preferred view, adding convenience to your charging routine. Furthermore, if you own an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max with the Always-On display feature enabled, the displayed information will be easily accessible at a glance. However, for devices without this feature, a simple tap on the screen will reveal your favorite photo or the current weather.

Apple’s commitment to providing customizable and user-friendly features continues with the introduction of StandBy. It’s clear that this feature will further enhance the functionality and personalization of the iPhone, even when it’s not being used actively. The company also announced its Mixed Reality headset at the same event, which also made headlines.
