Puts Fitbit on and Fitbit says "You're so fat that your wrist is pushing the limits of my buckle.". Sends Fitbit in for refund due to serious burn.

Hell no, it's honestly the best upgrade I did from a pixel > xs > 14 pro. They finally made live notifications better like knowing Im muted on a call because my soundwave isn't changing, or spotify's tap to access, or ubers little car animation.
Sucks when going full screen on a movie but even then I've just blanked it out

Probably a campaign by a competitor to sell more of THEIR smart watches. Let's see... Who's massive and has seemingly unlimited cash... Oh yeah, Apple and Samsung.

I just want another phone like the Oneplus 7 Pro, but with a non curved screen so I don't have to fix the 6 spelling mistakes I made from phantom touches while making this comment.

It's a clever way to try to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, for sure. Personally, I think they should take the extra step of removing that sliver too. All it does is highlight that there's a hole in the display.

I am sure you know what I meant and you're just being pedantic. But if not... The way that the dynamic island feature utilizes the entire upper portion of the screen is better than any previous implementation from Apple (even before the notch was first introduced). It's forced them to make the notifications and features at the top of the screen more useful. The sliver adds nothing, but the overall size of the cutout area when the dynamic island was introduced is a huge improvement over what they were doing before. It's just more aesthetically pleasing in day to day use than it was prior.

> At least that section of the display is usable and functional now.
The little useless sliver above the island that only serves to highlight the empty space? I don't know if I agree that it's very functional.

Yeah, I find the island so much more distracting than the notch. I'll stick with my current phone until the island goes away.

No android phone has that kind of tech yet. Only cameras. This is for more than that.

That whole part of the display has always been usable, it's just that they are now finding a use for it.

I grabbed a 14 pro max earlier this week, and I have yet to see a video that the dynamic island cuts into.

90 of them are full sail student capstones. Just because there are a "bunch" of games doesn't mean they are good. The playstation store is full of "new" garbage indies that just clog up the store

Yeah they literally have the technology to do both idk why they haven't. Even if it was just in the pro models, I feel like that could inclinate people to buying it alone.
