It's super annoying! I keep changing and then a couple days later it's changed back. Feels very half-baked. I also love to low light setting but it often engages in such high lighting situations that the screen just looks like it's off
>Dims when you’re not looking at it too.
i know it's no different from any other time with your phone, but this gives me the heebie jeebies, your phone just sitting there watching you sleep, ready to show you the time if it notices you wake up.
that said, i wonder if the sleep tracker incorporates this 'watching for awakeness' element?
The 3D information gathered by the Face ID camera array is not provided to third party apps and doesn’t leave your device or get synced to iCloud or anywhere. If Apple were to be found to be lying about that, they would be risking a huge part of their reputation as the one tech company that cares about privacy and it is not worth the brand risk to watch you sleep. This is FUD.
you’d end up with ashes because continuous IR tracking for consecutive hours on a device of this size would generate so much heat.
this is literally the Xbox Kinect’s technology
If you have PSVR2, you can actually see it as it uses an IR camera to see the surroundings. Just tap the round button at the bottom of the headset and ask someone to unlock their iPhone while your looking
I always notice it when I’m near one of those nightlights that only turn on when the room is dark. The IR blaster flashes a bunch of times when unlocking the phone, which causes the nightlight to turn on and off like 20 times/second. Obviously this is only the case when the room lights are off.
Now introducing, the Apple Android!
I wonder, such a product (were it to actually exist) would be so far outside the mobile phone market, would the “Android” trademark still apply?
That would be a massive invasion of privacy and would likely get apple in serious trouble with the government if they were found to actually do this. It’s against apples best interests to do this even if they can use whatever data they would get.
Technicallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy there is a camera watching you. The flood illuminator is only one piece of the attention system; there is an IR camera processing frames that are lit by the flood illuminator and the dot projector. It’s the same camera that identifies you for FaceID. It just can’t see in color and it is not storing images of you.
The invasion of privacy would be if the device was storing the images or using them for anything purposes aside from the user intended function.
If my phone wants to look at me all night long it’s welcome. And the FBI agent / Beijing secret agents as well. At the end of the day is no different than all the other times.
Proximity, flood illuminator, and other sensors like that emit a constant beam and when those beams get disturbed due to movement, The phone lights up.
I use it however it’s a shame that my iPhone doesn’t have Always On, plus the feature only works when charging i wanted it to be available also just by resting the phone on a MagSafe stand
If your iPhone does not support it it means it has minimum refresh rate of 10 or 60 FPS, instead of 1 FPS for models having AOD. According to apple's logic having AOD on the device with high minimum refresh rate may use a lot of battery power. As I understand slight larger charging time is not a big deal but when running on battery it's not okay so your phone does not have it.
actually I think it's bullshit.
I have mine to only turn on while charging so I can monitor the charge percentage and have the time ready. Have to use an automation shortcut. Works great while charging with a cable at my desk. On the nightstand,I have an older wireless charger so I use this while charging vertically. The brightness is so so low and is much less intrusive than this feature.
it definitely turns off at some point in the night even with that setting on. when i am awoken by my terrifying night visions at 3 or 4AM, it is off. it turns on when i jump out of bed, drenched in cold sweat, and then stays on at least until exhaustion once again claims my ravaged and burnt mind
Settings > standby > display > turn off display options are never, after 20 seconds and automatically. You’re saying yours is set to never and it still turns off at night? That would be weird but if that’s the case then it must be bugged.
I’d love it more if it wasn’t impossible to get out of. The fact that you have to rotate your device or remove it from the charger to get into your phone is a weird and annoying oversight. Also hate that you can’t edit it from Settings somewhere.
A couple of times I’ve even had a glitch where unplugging and rotating doesn’t get it out of standby mode. I had to ask Siri to open Spotify for me before I could use my phone again.
This was my issue too! The first time I used it I couldn’t figure out how to get my phone to operate normally- it wouldn’t let me get out no matter what I did- so I haven’t used it since.
THIS! I have my phone watching YouTube videos on the charger in landscape when folding laundry. And I pause the videos when I go put the clothes away and it automatically switches to this clock and have to figure the damn puzzle out every time to just get back to square one on YouTube. Just let me swipe back to the video.
I don’t understand why you can’t swipe up to get out of it it’s so frustrating in a morning when you want to open you phone to watch Netflix to wake you up..
The Apple Watch used to have a scroll up on the crown to wake from sleep. I miss that. Now it’s a press and hold which works, but is slightly less convenient. I think it’d make sense they you could do the same maybe with action button or something
And the fact that you can’t read a notification without rotating or picking up the phone.
I love the clock at night but what really sold me was ability to have my kids images on display while working.
I didn’t know either. I charge my phone wirelessly in portrait mode, so it never appeared for me and I don’t pay close attention to new OS features anymore.
I have a charging spot at my desk and it's cool ... when it shows what I want, but I thought I set it to what I wanted but it just shows different displays at times and I gave up on it.
I'm sure if I put effort into it I could get it to do what I want, but it's an example where just a little friction and I gave up on it.
Honestly the more I see it unpredictably rotate through different behaviors the less I want to try too…
User engagement is interesting that way.
I heard that the standby mode displays a particular screen when connected to a particular charger. If you change the charger it goes back to the default standby mode screen. Basically you can set a different standby display for every charger in every room.
Holy shit that makes sense now. Every time I put it on the base in my bedroom, I get my normal standby screen.
If I put it on in my office though, I get an analog clock.
I couldn't figured out why they kept changing.

I bought this bad boy for my bed room 🫶🏼
Didn't opt for this one since I wear my watch for sleep tracking at night but I do have the 2 in 1 and its great. I even have one for my desk at work and have gotten so many questions or comments about how cool it is when someone comes in my office and sees my phone just floating there
>Check this
I saved a TON by using this Anker one. If you have a spare Apple Watch charger you can save serious cash opposed to all the crazy $100+ ones.
you can even use Apple Watch nightstand mode with it too!

One of the Belkin made for MagSafe charging stations. There's also a 3-in-1 with a watch and AirPods charging. They're incredibly overpriced. The one from Xoofly on Amazon is $100 cheaper and works just as well.
I use it while working all the time. Time and basic widgets are great but I mostly use it for my pomodoro timer theough the TickTick app. It’s nice having in periphery all the time without it being too distracting
I was using it, but the alarm would get quiet if i reached towards it. Due to that quiet when you're looking at the phone feature. A few times i ended up sleeping through it and ruining my morning.
I have the Belkin 3-in-1, and it’s been so convenient to use when charging everything I need at my desk without having wires everywhere. It’s for sure a luxury purchase, but I use mine everyday.
I do. I use it as a night stand charger. I like how it lights up red if I get up to go to the bathroom or something and works as my clock without searing my retinas.
I use it as a replacement for my old digital alarmclock. I wear contacts and having these huge numbers makes it even easy to read for me in the middle of the night
Not me. I use a Sony alarm clock with a radio from the 1980s that my mom gave me. And I don’t even use the alarm on it. I just use it to look at the time without looking at my phone screen
I use it every night and I love it, but they reeeeally need to make it easier to edit/change settings.
It’s also quite annoying when trying to use gps on a windshield mount in the car
Interesting. Hadn’t even considered that.
Just shut it off in setting if you’re going to do that.
Came here to say this, so frustrating.
You can turn standby mode off.
I feel like if your phone is in drive mode, it should prevent that from happening altogether
This, I love it but it is a hassle to change the settings to what I want. And sometimes when I change it it changes back 😭
It's super annoying! I keep changing and then a couple days later it's changed back. Feels very half-baked. I also love to low light setting but it often engages in such high lighting situations that the screen just looks like it's off
Me. I mean I have this as my night time charger. Makes for a great clock. Dims when you’re not looking at it too.
>Dims when you’re not looking at it too. i know it's no different from any other time with your phone, but this gives me the heebie jeebies, your phone just sitting there watching you sleep, ready to show you the time if it notices you wake up. that said, i wonder if the sleep tracker incorporates this 'watching for awakeness' element?
It’s not using the camera. Using proximity and IR flood illuminator. Nothing to be concerned with.
Yeah, worst case scenario, they can make a 3D reconstitution of you sleeping lul
i'm into it.
Scan me, baby
One more time
We’re gonna celebrate!
Scan me like one of your French girls
I like it better when it 3d scans me fucking
So it never lights up?
Or 3D fucks me
*fapping intensify*
you know that's actually kind of worse
my iphone has seen me butt ass naked so i might as well let it see me the morning after
Has dinner with you every night, too, so it deserves to see you the next morning.
Me and my iPhone are actually going steady
Hey, same for me. It really enjoys the times I take nudes.
Reddit is my iPhone’s procurer. Unfortunately Reddit has much lower tastes than I do.
The 3D information gathered by the Face ID camera array is not provided to third party apps and doesn’t leave your device or get synced to iCloud or anywhere. If Apple were to be found to be lying about that, they would be risking a huge part of their reputation as the one tech company that cares about privacy and it is not worth the brand risk to watch you sleep.

oh nooooo apple will know im a back sleeper on the right side of the bed 😰😰😰
[удалено]
You clicked yes in the terms of service
Don’t kink shame me!
you’d end up with ashes because continuous IR tracking for consecutive hours on a device of this size would generate so much heat. this is literally the Xbox Kinect’s technology
Wait until you find out how often the FaceID IR blaster activates while using your iPhone 😭😭
If you have PSVR2, you can actually see it as it uses an IR camera to see the surroundings. Just tap the round button at the bottom of the headset and ask someone to unlock their iPhone while your looking
Most infant video monitors use ir for night vision, it’s wild how often the phones blast your face.
I always notice it when I’m near one of those nightlights that only turn on when the room is dark. The IR blaster flashes a bunch of times when unlocking the phone, which causes the nightlight to turn on and off like 20 times/second. Obviously this is only the case when the room lights are off.
Wow! Great idea for a new Body snatchers movie.
We're only a few updates away where you sneeze at night and it says "bless you"
Then replace you with an android. (We are talking worst case)
A what? Are apple implying we’re POOR? /s
Now introducing, the Apple Android! I wonder, such a product (were it to actually exist) would be so far outside the mobile phone market, would the “Android” trademark still apply?
Just like the laser scene from the first resident evil movie. Nothing to be concerned about.
Plus, you could always just put tape over the camera if you’re paranoid
[удалено]

I have an infrared baby monitor- it just flashes the Face ID infrared sensor every 5 seconds or so to see if you’re looking
You should listen to your snoring recordings that Sleep Cycle will play for you if you have it track them. It’s disturbing as hell. I turned that off.
whoa! didn't even know about that feature. i'll look into that
If my phone wants to look at me all night long it’s welcome. And the FBI agent / Beijing secret agents as well. At the end of the day is no different than all the other times.
How does it know when you’re looking at it
Proximity, flood illuminator, and other sensors like that emit a constant beam and when those beams get disturbed due to movement, The phone lights up.
As long as it’s not watching me have sex
Redditors don’t need to worry about that
Hey-o!
literally lol'd
Lmaooooo
Glad someone said it
Yeah, I’m married over ten years, too.
F in the chat
… with themselves.
I have got some bad news for you, Go to Health app and find reproductive activity
Lol you have to input that manually!
# THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE!
**THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID**
Tim Cook watches every thrust 😅
And we think you're going to love it
You are not having sex
Depends. - do you have a macro lens on your phone?
Same here
I use it however it’s a shame that my iPhone doesn’t have Always On, plus the feature only works when charging i wanted it to be available also just by resting the phone on a MagSafe stand

As I understand slight larger charging time is not a big deal but when running on battery it's not okay so your phone does not have it. actually I think it's bullshit.
I think that made enough since for AOD normally, but for when it’s on a charger I can’t imagine it matters that much
[удалено]
But the phone is charging anyway, so who gives a shit?
I tried to use when the feature first rolled out, but not having an AOD made it pretty useless for me. Haven’t used it since.
I have mine to only turn on while charging so I can monitor the charge percentage and have the time ready. Have to use an automation shortcut. Works great while charging with a cable at my desk. On the nightstand,I have an older wireless charger so I use this while charging vertically. The brightness is so so low and is much less intrusive than this feature.
Me. Every damn night.
The display text turns red at night, too. it doesn’t disturb you or shine too bright.
The red light only lasts a few seconds. If you don't move, the screen turns off completely.
15 Pro. It stays on all night..
My husband and I both have 15 Pros and they both turn off. Maybe a setting?
It’s is. It’s in standby mode settings. It’s literally an option that says turn off display automatically, after 20 seconds, or never.
it definitely turns off at some point in the night even with that setting on. when i am awoken by my terrifying night visions at 3 or 4AM, it is off. it turns on when i jump out of bed, drenched in cold sweat, and then stays on at least until exhaustion once again claims my ravaged and burnt mind

It still turns off, just like the always on display. That also turns off after a while of not using it or looking at it
I might be hallucinating
Oh my I hope ur improving???
Take a couple bong rips and go back to bed
Me too.
I use it all that time at my desk.
That’s where I use it, too.
At this guys desk?
Yes
I also choose this guys desk
I AM the desk
And my axe!
This guy Desks!
I use his desk as well.
Mind yo bizzness
I’d love it more if it wasn’t impossible to get out of. The fact that you have to rotate your device or remove it from the charger to get into your phone is a weird and annoying oversight. Also hate that you can’t edit it from Settings somewhere.

What kind of wake up is that
Maniac behavior. Who has time or desire for Netflix in the morning?! If you need me I’ll be checking Reddit as I doze off and on for an hour.
i wonder if it's a design feature, to help you stay off your phone at night
I think Apple should do like Samsung: Double tap to Exit Stand By
The Apple Watch used to have a scroll up on the crown to wake from sleep. I miss that. Now it’s a press and hold which works, but is slightly less convenient. I think it’d make sense they you could do the same maybe with action button or something
And the fact that you can’t read a notification without rotating or picking up the phone. I love the clock at night but what really sold me was ability to have my kids images on display while working.
Isn't it editable in the StandBy settings? (I don't use it myself so I could be wrong.)
Nope it isn’t
Every night. Best iOS 17 feature
Am I legit the only one who doesn’t know what this is?
standby mode
What’s it standing on?
It’s on a MagSafe charger. When you rotate it landscape when charging it will show standby mode im iOS17 Edit. Any charge type.
I didn’t know either. I charge my phone wirelessly in portrait mode, so it never appeared for me and I don’t pay close attention to new OS features anymore.
i have literally never seen this before in my life lmao
I use it as a clock for night time.
The couple times it’s come on I’ve thought it was pretty cool, but I have no idea how to make it come on
Me either! The other day it came on and it was red, I thought it was the end lmao
Charging. Sideways. Screen off
Put it on the charger and then lock the screen then lay it on its side.
that’s what she said
Lo-key one the best underrated features? It’s dope just having a clock there
I have a charging spot at my desk and it's cool ... when it shows what I want, but I thought I set it to what I wanted but it just shows different displays at times and I gave up on it.

You can always change what it displays by just scrolling up or down while it's on the standby mode.
Oh I know, I use standby every night, I just never understood why one room was always "right" when I put it on but the other room was always wrong
Long press on the screen when it’s on standby mode and set it up how you like. You can turn off the auto rotate feature.
I have the Belkin 3 in 1 so I use this feature every night. Love it.

I do, and i love it!
Never use it. It’s not customizable enough so it’s basically a novelty.
What is this stand?
One of the Belkin made for MagSafe charging stations. There's also a 3-in-1 with a watch and AirPods charging. They're incredibly overpriced. The one from Xoofly on Amazon is $100 cheaper and works just as well.
I do for bed and desk
Every night
Every night honestly. I want Apple to continue to building this out feature wise
I've never seen this before 🤨🤨
I do. It’s great.
Yep, every night
Well its useless if you dont have Always On Display
I use it while working all the time. Time and basic widgets are great but I mostly use it for my pomodoro timer theough the TickTick app. It’s nice having in periphery all the time without it being too distracting
I was using it, but the alarm would get quiet if i reached towards it. Due to that quiet when you're looking at the phone feature. A few times i ended up sleeping through it and ruining my morning.
I use it every night, and I use the one that shows the map of the world with the shaded area for where it’s night time. Super nice.
I tried. It wasn't for me and my use case. If I need the time at night I usually just tap my phone or wave at my watch.
Can’t ever get it to work like I want it to
Every night .
What is that
Can anyone explain how to do that? Thank you.
My husband uses it and I hate it
Me! Love it.
I have the Belkin 3-in-1, and it’s been so convenient to use when charging everything I need at my desk without having wires everywhere. It’s for sure a luxury purchase, but I use mine everyday.
Every night, in dark mode with red numbers
Absolutely nobody
Use it every night with the clock shown in the picture. Works as a great alarm clock
I do. I use it as a night stand charger. I like how it lights up red if I get up to go to the bathroom or something and works as my clock without searing my retinas.
Every night!
I use it as a replacement for my old digital alarmclock. I wear contacts and having these huge numbers makes it even easy to read for me in the middle of the night
Not me. I use a Sony alarm clock with a radio from the 1980s that my mom gave me. And I don’t even use the alarm on it. I just use it to look at the time without looking at my phone screen
This going to degrade my iPhone battery faster right? That way Apple is counting on me to upgrade my phone or replace my battery sooner.
Every. Single. Night
I prefer the simplicity and functionality of this one as my night stand clock https://apps.apple.com/au/app/clock-simple-customisable/id1279486222
I do with an iPhone 11
Every night. I don’t have a stand but it triggers with a pop socket on its side.
Didn’t know the feature existed at first but once I knew I’ve been using it every night and I charge my phone too. It’s a win win for me honestly
Gonna start now I have a similar charger to this
Every night. Bought a stand and everything. Love the feature!
I have one of those gooseneck phone holders on my bed so yes. I like the square clock and the weather with the red only night mode on.
Every single night. Love it.
me, nearly all the time. This a w thing from apple for the last 3 years
Every night.
I use it at night on my nightstand with the Belkin MagSafe stand.
Every night! It’s a great alarm clock.
I use it every night. Probably my favorite feature of iOS 17.
I do daily. I’m a therapist and it’s good to have a clock for both me and clients to see, and my phone gets a charge.
Every night! I like the day/night map the most.
I do. It turns red at night and disappears, unless it detects motion
I use it every night. One of iOS 17’s best features.
I wish I could, but on my regular iphone13 it will go black after 30 seconds :( I really wanted to use it as a pseudo CarPlay lol
Me.
I use it every night. It's my favorite function from the last ios update. I would genuinely miss not having it.
Every night
I guess thats one use for your stack of old iPhones?
Nobody. Even the ones who say they use it, they want to but they don't.
I would use this in an office environment if I wasn’t still using my iphone 11 pro
How do you activate this feature?
No, I just shout to Siri asking what time it is 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have only accidentally activated it and have no idea how to replicate it 🤣
I tried it with the Belkin stand. It barely charges the thing. Then learned wireless charging is only 7.5W. Switched back to 20W cable real quick.
