【Watch Young Woman Bai Jie】

Last year, Apple added the Dynamic Island to the iPhone 14 Pro. It was a nifty little pill-shaped widget near the top of the display that could change shape depending on user needs, like for displaying notifications. Now it's in every iPhone 15 model, and even better, there are new features. Some examples Apple gave included the ability to track a flight before you board, or follow Major League Soccer games, which Apple has the streaming rights for.
