With Apple finally announcing the highly anticipated iPhone 14 series, reviews have been going live for the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro models, which have revealed some interesting details regarding its new Always On Display feature. So let’s have a look.
Unlike typical Always On Displays found on Android smartphones, the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max’s AOD is slightly different. We don’t see the classic black background, rather just a very dimly lit screen. But, it appears that the Cupertino based giant used this to bring support for a number of its applications. By support, we mean added functionality, as the AOD on the iPhone 14 Pro series can work with Apple TV Remote, Maps, Phone, Voice Memos, and more.
According to Brian Tong’s review, the new iPhone Always On Display works with multiple apps. For example, when using the Map app, the map itself is hidden and only the directions, arrival time, and distance remaining are displayed. Similarly, the Phone and Voice Memos apps have various parts of its interface dimmed down.
Another report from CNBC’s Sofia Pitt found that the AOD on the iPhone 14 Pro series also works with the Apple TV Remote feature in Control Center. In other words, it can be used in a dimmed manner without having to unlock your new iPhone. This remote feature works with all Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD models, and even the third generation TV, AirPlay 2 enabled smart TVs as well.
