It's pretty cool if you have a wireless charging stand on your desk. Stumbled on this with a test iPhone for work. There's a few options to swipe through including calendar and weather and honestly it makes for a nice smart display

I have it enabled but it has never once turned on, I know how it’s supposed to work, but no combination of charging and flipping my phone around has ever worked. 90% of the time, it just wakes up the whole display due to the raise to wake feature.

Why can’t it just be like android’s Always on Display, where it’s just on unless something is blocking the front camera. Why does Apple have to always be the weird kid in the class.

Standby a separate feature from Always on Display which iPhones also have

Ah my test device has no FaceID or biometrics on it so I could see where that could muck with it
