iPhone 14 Pro Always-On Display is too good compared to the other Android smartphones
Apple recently released four new devices into the market: the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max. This year, the company removed the mini variant and added the plus variant to its lineup, and it will be interesting to see how successful it is. Now that the iPhone 14 Pro in-depth reviews are out, we can see that the iPhone 14 Pro Always-On Display is superior to other Android smartphones.
The first reviews laud the iPhone 14 Pro models’ new Dynamic Island, photography capabilities, premium finish, and other features. The Always-On Display is one of the great advantages of this series which is attracting more consumers and provides more results as compared to the Android devices.
We’ve seen the AOD feature in Android devices for a long time, but the iPhone only recently adopted it, and to a large extent, it’s very comandante, as mentioned by a reviewer. In comparison, when the iPhone 14 Pro and Galaxy S22 Ultra turn off their displays and start AOD, it is clear that the iPhone 14 Pro is brighter.
Also, the iPhone 14 Pro shows the full display in which we can also review the wallpaper of the device, but on the other hand, we are unable to catch the home screen of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

According to Brian Tong’s review, the Always-On Display works with the Apple Maps, Phone, and Voice Memos apps in addition to the Lock Screen. The map is hidden in the Maps app, and only the directions, arrival time, and distance remaining are displayed. Various parts of the Phone and Voice Memos apps’ interface are dimmed.

As CNBC’s Sofia Pitt pointed out, the Always-On Display also works with the virtual Apple TV Remote feature in Control Center, allowing it to be used in a dimmed mode without unlocking the iPhone. The remote feature is compatible with all Apple TV 4K and HD models, as well as the third-generation Apple TV and AirPlay 2-enabled smart TVs.
The iPhone 14 Pro’s Always-On Display has been noted to have an impact on battery life in some early reviews; however, this impact is unlikely to be significant because the display ramps down to a low-power state with a 1Hz refresh rate when in an AOD mode. However, the feature can be disabled in the Settings app’s Display & Brightness section.

Recently, Google held a launch conference to introduce its Pixel collection devices such as the Pixel 7 series and Pixel Watch. During the press conference, the company mentioned Apple, iPhone 14, iOS 16, and the RCS message support that Apple was hesitant to adopt. Furthermore, Google couldn’t help but criticize Apple’s attitude toward innovation.
“Pixel has always been a leader in smartphone innovation,” said Brian Rakovsky, Google’s VP of Product Management. “We see it as an admiration when others in the industry follow our example, like ‘AOD’ And ‘At a Glance’ to put useful information directly on the lock screen.” He was referring to new features in iOS 16 and the iPhone 14 Pro.
“Three years ago, we launched the crash detection system, along with other features like safety checks and emergency sharing,” Rakovsky said at the launch. Last month, Apple introduced crash detection, the iPhone 14 Pro, And the latest Apple Watch, iOS 16 can bring more security features to users. “This is a groundbreaking feature record for the Pixel’s first launch,” he concluded.
One of the most contentious issues between Apple and Google right now is Apple’s refusal to support RCS messaging. Despite Google’s public call for Apple to adopt RCS, Apple continues to limit itself to the SMS standard and iMessage, just as it has for years with Type-C. According to Report Tim Cook previously responded, “This is not what Apple users ask the company to do.”
At last night’s Google event, it pressured Apple again to change course. “RCS is the modern industry standard for messaging and it has been adopted by most industries. We want every device manufacturer to understand this and adopt RCS to make texting better for every smartphone user.”

A dismantling report from Japan, according to Juheng.com, shows that the total price of parts for Apple’s iPhone 14 series flagship models is about 20% higher than that of the iPhone 13.
According to Fomalhaut, the total cost of parts for the iPhone 14 Pro Max is approximately $501 (approximately 41,495 INR), which is more than $60 (approximately 4970 INR) higher than the previous generation iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Since the launch of the iPhone “Max” flagship model in 2018, the cost price has fallen between US$400 (about 33,130 INR) and US$450 (about 37, 271INR). This time it has directly raised more than US$60, and the cost of parts and Parts totals both saw their biggest gains since 2018.
In terms of model pricing, the iPhone 14 Pro Max with the smallest capacity is priced at the same US market price as the same model in 2018 and remains at $1,099 (about 91,024INR). The rise in component prices was not directly passed on and became the main reason for squeezing profits.
According to the report, the cost increase of the iPhone 14 Pro series is primarily due to the A16 Bionic chip. The chip costs $110 (approximately 9,110INR), which is more than 2.4 times the price of the A15 chip found in last year’s iPhone 13 Pro Max. The A16 Bionic employs the most advanced 4nm process, which is currently only available from TSMC and Samsung Electronics.

We learned that Fomalhaut said that this highlights Apple’s product strategy that “it cannot be separated by new features, but has to use high-performance configuration to make a distinction”.
In terms of other parts, the CMOS used in the iPhone 14 comes from Sony. Among the three cameras on the rear of the iPhone 14 Pro, the size of the CMOS used in the main camera is 30% larger than before, and the price is also about 50% higher at $15 (about 1242INR). Due to the adoption of the new CMOS, the main camera of the iPhone 14 Pro series has increased to 48 million pixels.
The OLED panel of the dismantled model adopts Samsung electronic products; the baseband chip is from Qualcomm, and the power management chip (PMIC) is Apple’s own product. In 2018, Apple acquired the power management chip business of British chip maker Dialog for $600 million.
Furthermore, the report stated that the United States accounted for 32.4% of the total parts of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, South Korea accounted for 24.8%, Japan accounted for 10.9%, Taiwan accounted for 7.2%, mainland China accounted for 3.8%, and others (unknown) accounted for 20.9%.
Last year, the United States accounted for 22.6% of the total parts of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, South Korea accounted for 30.4%, Japan accounted for 14.5%, Taiwan accounted for 8.4%, mainland China accounted for 4.5%, and others (unknown) accounted for 19.6%.
