Well the 🏝 island is so exciting some will need a pill, a birth control
Yes they will jam in the battery percentage because they know how much we want it but won’t give it to us!!
The possibilities with all that usable space now…. Watch episode upon episodes with all that usable space! This improves life at exactly 0%
really? I think its meh... but nice.. what does it buy someone? I am sure I am missing something here.. didnt watch the whole keynote.
yes!! LOVE NO price increase! All those rumor = false
I don’t see anything good about it to be honest.
On a side note, do any of the 14’s let you see the battery percentage now?

What's so wonderful about the notch morphing into a capsule that intrudes even further into the screen space? You can't really watch a movie or play a game without this weird black "thing" that's detached from the left side and moved an eighth inch closer to the center.
Yes so for you you can still get the notch just get the iPhone 14 regular or the iPhone 14+. Besides the iPhone 14+ has the best battery life out of the whole lineup. So you don’t have to get the one that morphs, just get the one that is still attached to the border. Something for everyone. Me I’m going to get the floating capsule. I don’t game on my phone anyway
If you’ve been paying attention since June, iOS 16 will have the battery percentage in the top right corner.
I disagree with you. That area is dynamic and it’s going to be open to third parties so there’s always going to be some thing interesting going on all the time.
It’s just because it’s something new and people are so easily amused by almost anything. This will all get old really fast like most things that are new.
Believe me it will all become just another feature
So when is this going to make it onto the MacBook lineup?
And what happens when there is no island when technology reaches that point? The island is just a solution for a problem.

I will be able to see the Twins score without launching the MLB app, in a nice out-of-the-way location without devoting a whole widget to it. Or, perhaps how Gael Monfils is doing today in his match with Casper Ruud at the Australian Open. Or some such.
(Or, if the developer gets on it, my blood glucose. Come to think of it, that's more important)
You’re missing that you all have complained about the notch since the iPhone X. Now it’s functional, you don’t see a benefit.
Can’t please everyone.
Ok thats fine. Here’s my two questions for you,
1) is it innovative?
2) Are you buying?
The dynamic island does look really cool and I certainly said "WOW" when I saw it. I love how it is used. However, I prefer the notch to the pill shape for just looking at the screen, as far as I can tell from the keynote video.
I think the part some people are forgetting is that the screen is an OLED, so when it turns off those pixels, it will merge seamlessly with the Face ID cutout.
Kind of genius way of owning it in my opinion, though I’m not surprised they found a way to make it more useful than “look it’s not a notch anymore!”
