Locking Your iPhone While Listening to a Video

| Monday, December 14, 2009

Have you even been watching something on your iPhone, but decided all you needed was the audio, and then tried to lock the phone? You will quickly notice that locking the phone stops the video playback altogether.

To lock the phone while having the audio continue, first lock the phone (the video will stop) and then use the iPhone remote and click the button once (play) to start the audio. The screen will remain locked, so you can enjoy the audio while the phone is in your pocket.

Not the best implementation by Apple, but the workaround is easy.
