Since last year you can put widgets on the screen of your iPhone, but this concept shows that iOS 15 can improve a lot.
Interactive widgets are crucial for iOS 15

Still, this leaves iOS 15 concept of it 9to5Mac see that there is still a lot of room for improvement. For example, there are many Apple apps (such as the calculator) that still do not have a widget and some widgets are not very functional.
There is an important reason for this: widgets are not yet interactive enough. As a result, they now only show information and you still have to open the app itself to actually perform a task. This concept shows how the addition of interactivity can bring about major changes.

Or a Phone widget, with shortcuts for your favorite contacts. A small audiobook or podcast widget that allows you to continue listening right away by tapping the widget would also be a welcome addition.
You can expect this from iOS 15
