when will we have an analog clock lock screen option

Anyone know when we are going to have a real analog clock option on the lock screen. If an apple watch can do it surely its not that difficult. For someone who uses a clock to tell what time it isn't as opposed to what time it is, i’m constantly having to convert a digital image where the image of hands on a dial is so much easier. Surely this isnt because someone has forgotten how to read a clock

For those of us who struggle with the passage of time without visualizing through use of an analog clock this is exhausting. I wish apple would support those with disabilities and who are neurodivergent through this accessibility option

My hope is someone from apple is/will read this and take it to the design team for consideration. Im one of many who use a watch tobtell me waht time it isnt. A digital watch is forcthose whobusevitvtovtellvwhatvtime it is. Youre either someone when asked for the time you reply its 2:13 or your tge thpe who replies its quater past 2. In our mind its a litte before something or a little past something or almost something etc. Using a digital clock im always stopping to convert what time it is to this alternate terminology. Its just to draining so i wear an analog watch. And the liitle widget they do offer is just silly. Give me a bug effin full screen analog click face. Come on man.

PS-It might not have been a Lock Screen

That is one of the clock options in Standby. It will only appear if the phone is connected to charge and is set horizontally.

Since this is an old thread, which was started before iOS 17, Apple does now offer this feature. But if you want it, you'll need buy yourself an iPhone 15 Pro model or iPhone 14 Pro Model (they're discontinued, but some may still be available at resellers) with an Always on Display and use Standby Mode. That will give you an analog clock on the screen.
