The island isnt the big deal, it’s the pro motion

Agreed that ProMotion is more important. However, I do find the Dynamic Island to be useful. For example, I like to drive with my phone on a MagSafe mount and leave Spotify pulled up so I can browse playlists, but I use GPS a lot. Dynamic Island will show me the next turn I should make from Apple Maps and the distance so I don’t even have to leave Spotify.

Wait, you’re casually browsing playlists *while driving?*Not to sound grumpy, but that really is barely any better than texting and driving.

+1. I sit in my driveway for 10 minutes before I leave just to pick music, then I set my GPS and leave it. I don’t even like having any GPS or screen on in the vehicle while it’s out of park. I use voice commands to send messages and skip songs. Once the vehicle is in motion, the phone goes down. So dangerous otherwise. All it takes is a moment for an accident to happen.

Not really comparable. All I have to do is click a couple buttons to pick a different playlist. Easy to do at a light.
