The enhanced Glyph system offers increased functionality, allowing users to utilize the LEDs for various purposes. For example, one of the light strips can serve as a volume indicator, illuminating more or less depending on the volume level. Users can also set a light strip to display a countdown timer. Furthermore, third-party apps can interact with the LEDs, opening up possibilities for further utilization. Already, companies like Uber and Zomato have integrated this feature, and more are expected to follow suit.
Improvements have also been made to notifications. Previously, the back of the phone would flash to indicate a notification. Now, users can set important apps to keep the LEDs illuminated for an extended period, ensuring that pending notifications are not missed.
