Since first purchasing an Pro iPhone (13 PM), I've been using an app called Fliqlo. It's an always-on clock app that I use when sleeping in bed. I enable it and it shows a flip-style clock. I can control how bright the numbers are displayed. I can use it in portrait and landscape mode. As my bedside charger stand only allows charging while the phone is upright, I use Fliqlo in portrait mode.
iOS 26 has a new mode that's called Standby. It works similar to Fliqlo, but only works when the phone is plugged into a power source and when the phone is on it's side. I'd love to use this native feature instead of Fliqlo, but I'm not about to buy a new stand just to use it. IMO, it would be better if Apple allows it to be used in portrait mode, so I sent Apple a feature request asking them to expand on Standby so that it can be used in portrait mode.
As well, I've been reading about a bunch of bugs with Standby, so I'll just wait for those to be sorted.
I'm not sure if iPads have Standby functionality - if so, that would make for an excellent bedside clock display (I've a Mini that can be used in that manner)...I'll test if I can use Standby with the Mini.
