Only if you’re actively navigating—sometimes you need to use maps to find a nearby petrol station, for instance, and while you can make the request with your voice, you’ll generally need to unlock your phone to see the results.

There’s music and podcasts to consider, too. A lot of people like to keep Spotify open on their phones while driving, and unless the app recognises that it’s connected to a car’s Bluetooth – which, again, frequently isn’t the case if you’re in an older car with a third-party Bluetooth adapter, or an aux jack – it won’t keep your screen awake for you.

People – particularly people with older cars without Carplay or Android Auto – often mount their phones to the dashboard to use as sat navs and music players, frequently in a landscape orientation.

By ‘wide format’, I mean videos that are wider than 16:9–movies in the standard cinematic 1.85:1, most notably. They fit modern phone screens almost perfectly, so you don’t lose parts of the top and bottom of the video when you go wide.

I like the hole punch – particularly if it’s in one of the corners – for watching wide-format video, mainly. It blends into the background of a movie in a way the notch just doesn’t.
