It sounds neat, but what could an iPhone with an always-on display do?

When youre scrolling, it updates at 120Hz, for maximum responsiveness to touch and smoother animation.

When the on-screen image is stationary, the refresh rate drops to save battery power.

The iPad even can use different refresh rates for different parts of the screen.

To offer an always-on display, the refresh rate drops even lower.

What could Apple really do to really mix things up?

These widgets are some of the best things about the Apple Watch.

And like the Apple Watch, the iPhone might keep sensitive data obscured until you actively look at it.

The main concern is battery life, but Apple seems to have figured it out with Apple Watch.

Now, its a matter of implementation.

Hopefully Apple can come up with something impressive.
