Gurman is claiming iOS 16 will support an always-on display for at least some iPhone 14 models.
Seems to me this is the sort of thing that wouldn’t be announced at WWDC. Even though developers might need to know about it (for example, to support a different notification type), what Apple does in these cases is they wait until the device is announced and then give developers the information.
Sometimes, however, these things become obvious due to SDK modifications - new parameters to functions show up, new functions get added, or existing functions get deprecated and replaced by newer ones that seemingly offer no benefit for existing devices. So if Apple does intend to do this (which I think likely), we may see something in one of the early Betas that make it obvious.
