Always-on Apple Maps via Brian Tong In addition to the Lock Screen, the always-on display works with Apple’s Maps, Phone and Voice Memos apps, according to Brian Tong’s review. In the Maps app, the map is hidden and only the directions, arrival time, and remaining distance are displayed. In the Phone and Voice Memos apps, various parts of the interface are blurry. Tong demonstrated this functionality in his video below, starting at the 4:40 mark. As CNBC’s Sofia Pitt noted, the always-on display also works with the virtual Apple TV Remote in Control Center, allowing it to be used in a low-key manner without unlocking the iPhone. The remote control feature works with all Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD models, the third-generation Apple TV, and AirPlay 2-enabled smart TVs.

However, the feature can be turned off in the Settings app under Display & Brightness. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max launch this Friday, with other new features including a Dynamic Island replacement for the notch, an upgraded rear camera system with a 48-megapixel main lens, new Deep Purple and Space Black color options, and more .
