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.
