StandBy - Turn your iPhone 15 Pro into the BEST Clock Ever!

This video demos one of the new features introduced in iOS 17 called StandBy. It essentially allows you to turn your iPhone into a personalized digital screen to show widgets, photos, clocks and more! I also recommend some MagSafe charging stands that make the perfect pair for your nightstand or desk at work.
Works for any iPhones running iOS 17, but works best with iPhone 14 Pros, iPhone 15 Pros that have the "Always On Display" option.

    I use the Home/Office - MAG Dual Desktop Wireless Charger, with mag case. Very solid piece of kit. It has a rubber type base which grips to any surface. You don't have to support it while pulling the phone off and the phone just snaps to it. Not cheap though but certainly the best Ive used. Excellent content as well.

    Thanks to your video, I was finally able to figure out why Standby kept switching from the widgets I'd selected for it, which would display properly at night when I'd put my iPhone on its charger and go to bed, to randomly different widgets when I'd wake up in the morning.

    Great info! thx. I wanna add the reg iPhone 15 DOES NOT have the always on capability either! The StandBy settings on the reg 15 (not 15 pro) look exactly like the ones shown in your 12 pro example. Not sure why this is, they were even oblivious to it at the Apple store. Hopefully it gets fixed with an update eventually as without always on capabilities the Standby mode shuts off after :20 seconds on the regular 15 modal.

    Excellent explanation! Answered many questions. Your straightforward honest opinions on chargers were appreciated too. (Too many people try to “sell” a certain product.) I do have a question about the 3 in 1 charger you showed. Do you think there is a possibility it could damage the phone? I have heard many horror stories about cheaper chargers overheating and ruining the phone’s battery.

    Valid concern @denisepaige2314 with cheaper chargers. For actually cables that you plug into iPhones and iPads, I never buy non-apple cables. Apple's are pretty advanced with little chips inside and everything. They even have a dedicated support article to identify bad cables, which I'll link below: Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories support.apple.com/en-us/HT204566 As far as wireless chargers, I haven't personally seen any issues. I have been using that "cheap" one from amazon daily for almost 5 months now and haven't had one issue. I've used the Belkin one for almost a year and haven't had any issues. I know there is a concern to not overcharge devices, so I will pull it off the charger if it's been on there for a while at 100%, at least I do if I remember to...I did speak with Apple Support on this and they said the devices are supposed to stop charging when it reaches 100%, but they still don't recommend to leave it on there for hours on end. But overall, I primarily charge my iPhone wirelessly. In the car, on my nightstand and at my desk. I rarely plug it in with a cable.

    When setting alarms and using downloaded iTunes music there is no way in the Alarm Clock to set the volume of the music for the alarm! Also when using StandBy and the alarm goes off it has a big [STOP] button when tapped it brings up the music player app over the StandBy screen that is bad as I have several alarms set and don't wish to have the music player showing. They need to clean this mess up!

When the device is in standby mode, swipe to the right to go to the first options. Here you can have weather, calendar and clock that will rotate. There are some limitation and you can't 100% customize it the way you want it, but you should be able to get those three options! I hope that helps! THANK YOU so much for watching!

    This is a great video about a cool feature, but when I tried to actually use my new iPhone 15 Pro as a clock in standby mode, I was disappointed. I found that no matter what I do, the clock display eventually turns to black when I use it at night. When I first put the phone on the mag-safe stand, the clock displays just fine, but after about 3 hours the screen turns black. If I get out of bed or make a movement, it turns back on because I have it configured to do that, but it will eventually turn to black again. I tried changing the StandBy display setting to "Always on", but even with that set, it will eventually turn to black. I don't understand why Apple would spoil such a useful feature in this way.

I'm not saying we should all use a charging cable instead of our mag-safe stands, but this was another bit of information.
