Stand by mode does not work on Iphone 16 plus

is clear that Iphone 16 plus does not support always on. But stand by move is a different story and this was not advertised as not available for this phones. Why is installed then in the first place? Not value added space. Allow users to get rid off and save storage for real value. That would be a fair practice. Not as it is now.

Stand By mode on iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 17 not working Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but since updating to iOS 17, I cannot get standby mode to work. I have tried everything they say: rebooting, turning it off then on again, making sure orientation lock is off. Using apple certified chargers, etc etc. still won’t work. is there a way to reinstall 17? Or something else I should be looking at? this is on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. In perfect condition.

Extracted from teh 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."
