According to MacRumors, a source claims that the iPhone 14 Pro’s lock screen function is very unique. Furthermore, there will be significant changes to the status bar. Previous reports reveal that the dual punch-hole display can be set to a single pill shape. MacRumors points out that the iOS 16 lock screen will be directly associated with the iPhone 14 Pro’s screen-free display interface. It will also integrate features such as notifications, depth of field effects, and wallpaper colours.
The status bar of the iPhone 14 Pro will also change as the available space at the top of the screen increases. The cellular signal indicator will move to the left, and the notification center will redisplay the full screen. When the screen locks, the device also locks and there will be no display of the status bar. The source shared several images purportedly based on Apple information, showing some of the iPhone 14 Pro differences and providing further information.

Gizchina News of the week
- When the screen is always on, the lock screen wallpaper with depth of field effect, the background is removed and completely darkened, and the foreground is darkened. Additionally, the foreground will be colour and characteristic edge highlights based on user-defined settings.
- To prevent OLED burn-in, on-screen widgets remain on the screen but fade in and out at set intervals.
- The content displayed on both lock screens must be configured in the same way and cannot be separated. This means they must share the same wallpapers, colour choices, fonts, and widgets. The core visual elements of the always-on display supports independent customization..
- Notifications will be part of the iPhone 14 Pro’s always-on display experience. Like a normal lock screen, notifications will scroll in from the bottom each time and remain vaguely visible for 10 seconds. Once the display is woken up, the notification will animate from the bottom and continue with user-defined settings for how the notification is displayed on the lock screen (such as count, stack, or list).
- Apple may also allow users to enable a notification counter at the bottom of the Always On Display.
In addition, Apple is also planning to release an update, such as iOS 16.0.1 or 16.1. This update will come shortly after the release of the iPhone 14 Pro. It will fix the device’s screen display and wallpaper issues.
