Apple was probably the last company to adopt the Always-On display technology on the iPhone. However, Apple waits for the technology to advance before using it. The Always-On display on the iPhone is a lot different than the competition as it shows a dimmed version of the Lock Screen wallpaper, even after the device has been locked.

This time, Samsung has copied Apple's Always-On display design on its Galaxy S24 series.
