iPhone 14 Pro AOD On or Off

Off. I can’t really find a use case for it. I get notifications on my watch already. When I have my phone mounted at work, usually I don’t want notifications flashing across my screen because I’m trying to stay focused and get work done. If I have DND on, then it won’t show notifications anyways, and I already have a clock on my computer. When I’m at home, I usually have my phone sitting on furniture next to me, so the screen is not really in my view anyways.

I seriously can’t find a use case for it. Without a use case, it’s just a battery drain for me, even if it is minimal.

AOD needs a way to send the phone into camera mode in a single touch. I would probably re-enable this if that were solved.

I leave it on primarily for now playing. I'm listening to music or podcasts the majority of the day and I never realized how many times I tapped and woke up my phone to see what was playing (I have a lot of songs with multiple versions) and love just glancing over to see large album art. It makes it the perfect iPod for me.

This was my favorite part of it also. When listening to podcasts or music, you could actually see where the controls were before you reached over.

I think this is a different use case in the camera though where you basically want the camera up immediately.

With the camera, something would happen and I’d be mashing the corner or swiping and the AOD hadn’t switched over.
