    I know, my phone has this feature and I think it’s pointless. Why do I need my screen to be on if I’m not using my phone?

            Sorry, I’m sure there are other features that you like for this, but just the ones in this thread; long life, always on display, shows the time, sits on a desk, no notifications. That’s a clock. Like, a clock clock. Put a clock on your desk.

              For sure. This is why I keep my phone plugged in on a stand, usually in do not disturb with only a clock when it is locked. It is, indeed, a clock.

      1. allows quickly checking time, battery levels and music info by just glancing at the phone and provides a superior alternative to notification led, you actually see which apps sent you notifications specifically.

      2. it makes it easier to find the fingerprint sensor (although there’s usually an option to show only the sensor without all the other stuff + it shows automatically when you tap the screen + muscle memory)
