Election results will be available as a Live Activity on iPhone
Apple originally introduced Live Activities as a way to whimsically take advantage of the Dynamic Island and present live, updated information to the user. It has been handy for now playing music, sports scores, and active calls, but Apple News is using it for something a little more anxiety-inducing.
Starting late on Tuesday, users will be able to have a Live Activity from Apple News that tracks the results of the election. So, the Lock Screen will have a large, interactive widget that will launch to the latest election coverage, and the Dynamic Island will show the electoral count for each candidate continuously.
