Honestly, 

im pretty blown away by the innovation gone into the dynamic island. 

Apple has taken a liability for any smartphone with a front facing camera setup (even more so with Face ID tech) and they’ve turned it into a very desirable asset. 

The functionality, the presence, and the animations make it a must have. 

All android phone (and even the non-pro iPhones) now seem a bit dated without this feature. 

Samsung and others will follow suit soon enough, but it will be a ghetto version, per usual. 

When I first heard the words “dynamic island,” I laughed out loud. Literally. Then I saw it demo’d.

DANG. 

ITS AWESOME. 

Whoever came up with that has definitely earned their stripes at Apple. 

Amazing. Can’t wait to use it. 

Dude, it's a set of animations.  The novelty will last for about 10 minutes.

Not sure why he'd boast about having meetings when the clear outcome of any such meeting is that Starlink didn't have anything Apple was interested in.  Just wants to be the news, I guess.

The term "users" in the headline is pejorative and I thought confined to previous decades.

"How Apple's iPhone 14 emergency satellite service works" would have been fine. 

In what sense is it pejorative?  

It’s a cute implementation, but I don’t think it adds any functionality, just some neat animations, right?

Is it just for future AppleCare+ subs, or does it upgrade existing?

Pretty great upgrade nonetheless.
