StandBy mode is a game-changer for the iPhone's charging experience. When a device is charging and resting on its side, it can be tilted for a full-screen view featuring a clock, calendar, favorite photos, weather updates, music playback controls, widgets, and more. It's the perfect nightstand or desk companion. And for iPhone 14 Pro users, it even works with the always-on display.
