Move over Dynamic Island, there’s a way more useful feature tucked away in Apple’s latest iPhone that should be grabbing the headlines. I’m talking about Focus and its new customizable lock and home screen options. After spending a week with the iPhone 14, I’m convinced this is the feature Android should aim to emulate instead. And the sooner the better.
For a little background, Focus was introduced with iOS 15, allowing you to choose when to receive alerts and notifications, from whom, and from which apps, depending on the chosen Focus profile. Of course, Android phones have granular Do Not Disturb options too, with app, call, and contact exceptions, along with focus options embedded in Digital Wellbeing. However, Focus’ multiple profiles are right at your fingertips and more customizable, allowing you to manage personal time, work, workouts, sleep, or whatever else is currently occupying your mind’s eye.
