Reply to comment by lgparagon in Dynamic island's behaves contrary to logic by Teulis

But it’s not a notification banner, it’s meant for quick actions, where OP is right.

The fact it acts like a notification banner is what confused my GF the first couple hours as she was wondering why only some notifications were showing there, which is a pretty fair question I thought as I’ve used my 14 more and more.

That’s fair. I can see the point with quick actions. Let me change the example to better explain my point though.

  1. App icons on the Home Screen
  2. Icons in the control center
  3. Links in Safari
  4. Mail, Messages, Files, etc.

All of those also use this same functionality. It’s how most of iOS functions. A tap takes you to the tap target (app/link/etc). A hold gives you a context menu with more options.

I’d argue it’d be more confusing to most casual users for the dynamic island to function opposite the rest of their phone. However, I’m 100% in the camp of giving users the choice. Options are always best
