just gonna say it. the lil Face ID guy would be a great AI companion and it should live in the island and it should be ready to go at any time. it’s just personified enough to be cute but not weird.
Apple has released a cute new ad on TikTok highlighting Apple Pay and card rewards.

Imagine Dynamic Island taking iPad Pro to a whole new level. It could be that perfect solution for bringing the menu bar to iPadOS in a new and fluid way. Apps and multitasking taken even further.

Concept: It's time to combine Phone, FaceTime, and Contacts into a single new app: Calls. Featuring a simplified and more modern user interface that's more visual and fun, it could make communicating with friends, family, and colleagues even easier.

First take on what I’m calling “HomeDock”. Inspired by HomePod, enabled by MagSafe, designed for iPad. As I’ve imagined before, the UI could adapt to work similar to tvOS with watchOS faces. The dock itself could be a tall mesh covered pedestal that charges iPad.

You can turn the MagSafe battery into a magnetic iPhone stand/dock if you plug it into the lightning dock!

If they wanted to get really creative they could do something like this with the status bar. Make a complication-style battery indicator. Group different types of icons. And bring back other statuses like alarms and headphones. Plus you could make the mic and camera dots bigger.
Playing around with ways they could refresh the status bar with the new true depth module design…

What if watchOS deemphasized launching apps and introduced a new more customizable home screen with widgets and live activities, a fresh take on the glances and dock ideas.

Despite this year being a total nightmare, Apple still released what is arguably their widest range of physical products in years. This isn’t even to mention the countless software updates, apps and services they’ve also cooked up. Presenting the Apple class of 2020.
