The new project I designed arrives today - the Dynamic Island. Its goal is to feel like a living, elastic bubble that can fluidly shape shift into different alerts and experiences. This is just the start, but I’m excited to see it begin its life!

Dynamic Island definitely wasn’t a solo effort. The industrial design, hardware, and software teams all worked in concert to design and build it. We worked together in an intensely collaborative process over years to make it happen, the only way to make a idea like this possible.

"The Dynamic Island feels not merely like a shape or dedicated area at the top of the screen, but like a real thing with personality. I have genuine affection for it already." So proud of this feature we worked on getting a really positive response.

Excited to see full Drag and Drop come to iPhone, new in iOS 15. It works hand-in-hand with the iPhone’s gestural interface, enabling some super fast ways to move things between apps.

If you buy the whole narrative that computers are an extension of the mind, then its really easy to understand why privacy is so important.
