DH and I both have iPhone 13 minis. I've been perfectly happy with it and I like the small size. Then I downloaded iOS 17 today and tried to use the StandBy feature that lets you display clocks and widgets when your phone is in landscape mode and being charged.
I can get StandBy mode to work but it goes dark after 30 seconds. So I've been trying to figure out how to configure all this to make it display longer.
Turns out that to use StandBy mode "always on" feature you have to have a iPhone 14 Pro or newer.

Arggh! No, I'm not getting a new phone.
