Apollo App Adds 'Pixel Pals' to the iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island

Not even gonna lie. This will sell thousands of Pro phones.

We need the talking moose up there immediately!

Xneko might just be the iPhone 14 killer app. I kinda want one now…

If we can get someone to port Xroach, we can see the cockroaches scurry around and hide when the island changes dimension and leave them exposed.

I can see it now… “Yoo have a notification…”

Shocked at most of these comments. I would delete that app in a heartbeat if there were no way to get rid of that eyesore.

There's a toggle to turn it on and off.

I already use Apollo to get my Reddit fix so when I pick up my 14PM here shortly I will enjoy this. I do like that devs are already beginning to get creative, between the pong-like game and now this it is certainly exciting. These things may seem insignificant to some, but having devs develop around the sigh "Dynamic Island" is really what sets iOS devices a part. When the pill and cutouts came to Android, everyone was doing whatever they could to hide it, and it really is nice to see it being embraced day one.

Pure GENIUS

This just shows you when someone comes up creative design and no one thought of it for yrs then light bulb went off for everyone. I don’t see why it wasn’t done similarly with the notch.

That's cute, I like it.

This is the new version of those little animated toons you could have on your windows desktop, very classy...

ITs something you have to turn on. Im shocked you think Christian would force this on users..

Lmaoooo. I love it and we’re only on day 1. The ideas these developers are going to come up for the dynamic island.

Some long time Mac users might remember Neko the Cat.

Yeah, yeah
Ayo, neighbours, it's time.
It's time, neighbours (aight, neighbours, begin).
Straight out the grubby dungeons of rap.

Don’t need an island for that tho ,you could implement it with the notch as well..

 

[GregoriusM]

Woohoo! Glad you folks are liking it, if you have any questions feel free to ask! This was so fun to build haha.

I love your creativity and fun! And if the complainers don’t like it, they can turn it off. Win, win.

This example confirms that Dynamic Island is nothing but an utterly useless gimmick.

React to my comment if you jerk off to Kim Kardashian every nite.

Cat can't sleep on top of the notch.

That being said, I was thinking about the 14 Pro Max this year and think I'll skip iPhones for this year based on everything I've seen so far about DI. Maybe 15 will bring back Touch ID under screen in addition to Face ID, which would come in handy for the places where masks are still required or in the winter when I wear a mask anyway due to the cold.

 

[kupkakez]

These are the little things in life I live for lol can't wait to try this soon

 

[JM]

I’m sure a lot of people would love it if Apple allowed this everywhere.

Sure! Why not?

 

[ralph_sws]

Cute

 

[silentdevotion]

This changes everything.......again.

 

[Tdude96]

Dangit. Now I want an iPhone 14 PM. And an app that does this all the time without looking at reddit.
