Almost a year later live updates and dynamic island are amazing - eviltoast

I only got a 14 pro max because the old phone had something wrong with it and when I first saw the Dynamic island I was like eh that’s neat but so what. And when they were talking about live updates people kept coming back to sports scores as what it could do but I don’t really watch much sports so I sort of yawned.

Now that it’s been out for a bit food delivery and running apps have done some nice touches so that I always have quick access to timing information. I’ve wanted them to put Nike Run Club stats on my Lock Screen forever. The other one I love is it tells me how long till my food delivery gets here in Uber.

Anyone else have any apps that this improved quality of life for?

      Why would it be better? I like how it puts some useful information up there. What would be the benefit of going back to black?

        Sorry, i meant it would be better if there is no notch. We already have a top status bar that shows the time, signal strength, and battery. The dynamic info can sit in the middle. The notch is annoying watching video in landscape.
