Why Stand By matters for travel

Charging your iPhone bedside on a trip turns into a Stand By display: full-screen, glanceable, no unlock. For travelers, that's the perfect flight-status surface.

What good looks like

  • Full-bleed — uses the entire landscape display.
  • Two-line legibility from across the room.
  • Auto-dim red mode at night (preserves dark adaptation).
  • Updates without you touching it.
