Live activities: a certain interest in the elections, as in Brazil

If you knowthe list of new features of iOS 16, you are probably aware that new key notifications are appearing with theDynamic IslandiPhone 14 Pro. These are theLive Activities, also available on other older devices. The concept is simple: a bubble displays the content you wantfollow in real time, superimposed on the rest of the interface.

For example, this content could be the score of a match, the status of your Glovo delivery or even the time until your Bolt driver arrives. THEdevelopershave the possibility to exploit this solution to its maximum thanks to a dedicated API. This is what the creators of the SongCapsule app did, trying to capitalize on the interest of Brazilian voters in the election pitting former President Lula against Jair Bolsonaro. And it’s quite successful.

Simple and effective

But then, how does this present itself?Live activityon iPhone? We find on each side the faces of the two presidents, close to their score obtained by the ballot box in percentage. A display that also works by leaving the screen locked and in modeAlways on, without consuming too much energy onan iPhone 14 Prothanks to the adaptive refresh rate.

The elections are certainly over now, but the creators of this little find have made an app available to discover it viaTestFlight. This is therefore in beta and risks encountering bugs but anyone can participate, provided they help report incidents when encountered.

Good news for the planet

Now ready to return to his post as president, Lula should allow Brazil to regain its colors thanks to better preservation of the environment than his predecessor. ThereAmazon rainforest, the green lung of the South American continent, has in fact lost large parts of its surface area under the mandate of the outgoing leader.

Apple, for its part, also thinks about ecology with recycled aluminum frames for its laptops. Objective, for the Cupertino giant: move to zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, the deadline.
