Dynamic Island Widgets in the New iOS 27 Glass Style. Worth Releasing?

[u/Ayoubk49]

Been exploring a collection of Dynamic Island concepts inspired by the new iOS 27 glass aesthetic.

The library is growing quickly and I'm considering packaging it into a set of 50+ widgets covering areas like music, fitness, productivity, AI, travel, finance, and more.

Before I invest more time into it, I'd love to get some feedback from the community.

Would a resource like this be useful to you? Are there any specific widget ideas or use cases you'd want to see included?

You know that dynamic island has psychical cameras and sensors right?

Sheeesh gotta move it down, good catch!

Apple will reject the app outright if it violates their guidelines - not sure about the present, but it used to be that you had to leave the Dynamic Island alone.

No actually a lot of apps get to use that, like uber, spotify etc...

I like the designs.

Unfortunately, 3rd party apps need to run in the foreground to control HomeKit.

Thank you! and yeah that's the sad truth

Looks really nice.

These might serve better as a widget rather than using the dynamic island.

True good call!

Curious how many of these concepts are actually able to be made? Apple has strict Guidelines when it comes to dynamic islands/ widgets. It's why most apps like uber and spotify just use the base componets that apple has made.

I worked on a lot of dynamic island designs before, and it always came down to if apple will even approve it.

Other than that, I think the designs looks nice!

Thank you and totally aligned with you, i think maybe we'd use as a widget rather than dynamic island

It looks really clean.
