What an iOS-style quote widget shows

A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.

It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.

How the iOS-style style shapes it

This style follows the widgets people know from iPhones: white or dark rounded cards, a small colored title, a large bold number and tidy lists. It is a look, not an official Apple design.
