Does iPhone have a New Year countdown?

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): iPhone has no built-in New Year countdown screen: the Clock app's Timer only counts down hours you set, and Siri can only tell you how many days are left. The simplest live countdown is this page in Safari: it shows days, hours, minutes and seconds to your local midnight. Tap Share › Add to Home Screen to open it like an app. On the night, set Settings › Display & Brightness › Auto-Lock to Never so the screen stays on, plug in the charger, and turn the phone sideways or use AirPlay to show it on a TV.
