BIZARRE: Meet pixel pals the virtual pets for the iphone 14 pro s dynamic island - You Need To See This

Christian Selig Reddit Hugo

Pixel Pals are pets for iPhones

Apollo was a pixel-art cat that developer Christian Selig added to his iPhone Reddit app, a virtual kitty that prowled the top of the iPhone 14 Pro’s new Dynamic Island, whenever a user was browsing Reddit, that would even sit as a lock-screen widget when the handset wasn’t in use.

Okay y'all, I think I found the best idea for the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro. I added a cat that lives up there like a tamagotchi and just hangs out and does cute stuff as you browse Reddit in my app (Apollo). pic.twitter.com/xJJlazHH4E
