iPhone 15: What Dynamic Island Does and How to Use It

[adammusic]

tell me you're a "glass half empty" kind of person without telling me -_-

time to ignore the comments on this site for another year.

Apple is like a waiter who fills your glass half full then disappears for the rest of the night when all you want is a refill. Then

Don’t want you to feel like I’m being dismissive to you, but if you (and anyone else) feels that strongly about any of this then hit them up at http://www.apple.com/feedback

feedback is useless. Submitted tons of feedback over the years. Never fixed a thing I submitted.
The way they categorize it is bad too. Im positive something I submitted was also submitted by someone who else but it says it wasnt.
So whats the point of submitting feedback if it just goes into the ether?

Nah. I didn’t say you couldn‘t have an opinion - matter of fact, the *very next sentence* after your quoted statement says that everyone has one. I put it there as a short handed attempted to contextualize your expertise. We can all have an opinion, but when it comes to medical advice I’ll weigh a doctor’s opinion significantly more heavily than a plumber’s, thank you very much. Same principle applies.

I also thereafter proceeded to articulate a plausible scenario which I feel contradicts your rigid view that An Innovator, Someone Other Than Cook would have done better. But I notice you skipped that part too.

Wrong again. I agree that you didn't say I couldn't have an opinion, but that's not what I even said. I said it was a weak fallacy to try to invalidate someone's opinion about Tim Cook because they haven't also served as CEO of a billion dollar company. It's just a really dumb argument to try to make.

I also really don't know where you are going with the doctor/plumber example, which doesn't even apply. A better analogy would be for me to say that your opinion about your doctor might not be accurate because you never went to medical school. It would be like you saying, "hey guys, my doctor really botched my surgery, you should avoid using that doctor." And I reply, "Are you a doctor? No? Then you don't know what you are talking about. That's a great doctor and he did a wonderful job. He probably had a good reason for accidentally amputating your arm. Call me when you graduate from medical school before you share your opinion about doctors around here!"

And I didn't respond to the rest of your comment from before, because it really didn't really seem to apply to anything I was saying about Tim Cook. I said Tim Cook has got to go, because I think he's not good at the CEO role. He should have been kept as COO, which is what he's good at and seems to be how he's operating as CEO anyway. Obviously he can't be replaced by Steve Jobs. I didn't say anything about Steve Jobs being better or worse if he was still alive. I really have no opinion on whether or not Steve Jobs would have been able to continue to grow iPhone market share. I mean it's an interesting scenario that's fun to think about, albeit an impossible one to ever know, given the circumstances.

In any case, I don't think we're going to see eye to eye on this one, and that's ok.

That is precisely what it is, and it’s bloody brilliant. Considering the hiccups, I agree with speculation that it was a last minute idea after the hardware had been finalized, however the person who thought of it should still get a raise. I’m happy to keep using my mini on which I can reach everything one-handedly; however, one has to appreciate the design genius who managed to turn the hole punch flaw into a feature.

Once the dead space is gone thanks to under screen Face ID, it’ll hopefully became a fully functioning dynamic menu bar capable of holding 5 icons or so at a time.

OK, so what happens if you tap within the pill area? Does that area respond to touch, or is it dead? Because that seems like it would frustrate the hell out of people having graphics all around it and then tapping on that space and having no response.

It responds -

It responds -

Lol no it doesn’t. The pill area, aka notch 2.0, isn’t showing any dynamic content. It’s literally the dead area where the camera and other stuff sit. “Dynamic Island” is literally a marketing ploy for the sheep to describe the ‘feature’ of putting notification icons and buttons NEXT TO the notch 2.0.

Yet, nothing will change the fact that the notice 2.0 is empty, wasted, dead space that cannot he used for anything.

We know it won’t show pixels in graphics, but will it respond to touch?

Notch or Dynamic Island? Did Dynamic Island meet your expectations this year?
