Extracted from an Apple Article Keep the iPhone display on longer: "The display automatically turns off when iPhone is either face down or obstructed from view, not near a paired Apple Watch, when a CarPlay session begins, while Continuity Camera is in use, while Low Power Mode is on, while Sleep Focus is on, or at your usual bedtime."

Thanks for your attention to this SravanKrA. I was not referring to the Display, i.e. the home screen or splash screen on the 16 Pro, but rather the StandBy screen, which displays the widgets (time, date, temperature, et al). The setting for that display is in the StandBy settings which I have set to turn off NEVER.

There has been a lot of discussion surrounding this issue here, on reddit, MacRoumors, and other boards, as well as multiple cases opened with Apple Support, none with any resolution, despite there being 3 iOS updates. I'm trying to figure out if anyone in the world has successfully gotten the StandBy Display to stay on more than 4 hours.
