One of the most interesting innovations of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max is the always-on or Always-on display. A function that has been in Android for many years, but this Apple adapted in its own way by implementing many functions beyond showing the time and notifications.

After the arrival of the new models, it was discovered that the always-on screen of the iPhone 14 Pro went far beyond a dimmed lock screen. It is a function that we can also find in other applications such as Maps, Phone, Voice Memos, or Apple TV Remote.

iPhone 14 Pro always-on display comes with many features

Always-on display that goes much further

Usually Always-On display on current smartphones it only shows the time and some more data when we lock our device. But Apple has shown that iPhone 14 Pro’s always-on display goes much furtherit even shows the wallpaper and notifications albeit with minimal brightness.

However, we now know that this feature is also available in other applications. For example, if we start a route in the Maps app and lock the device, we’ll see some directions on the screen even when it’s locked. Just you will see directions, arrival time and remaining distance to your destination. An interesting way to save battery power during a long trip.

Another example is the application Voice memos that will continue to run and show some details when the screen is turned off Like the recording time we have. Likewise, the always-on display works during phone calls, but in this case it only makes sense if we use the hands-free feature.

There is another interesting app that works in always-on mode: Apple TV Remote. It is true that it is a much less used app just because it allows. control apple tv from iphone, but best of all is what it implies. This app shows the controls of the Apple TV remote and they can be used when the screen goes black.

sure we were before deep functionality and attention to detail, on the other hand, as Apple always does. They may be late, but they have the best Always On display on the market.
