Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro

With the recent release ofApple’siPhone 14 Proline came one standout new feature:the dynamic island.

Retiring the hardware camera notches of old, Apple has opted for a software-based design that can move or change shape depending on what app you’re using. This allows the notch to control background applications, such as timers or music controls, and should take up less space when not in use, too.

It’s certainly been popular, with Apple analystMing-Chi Kuosuggesting that Apple has asked to switch production lines for theiPhone14 and 14 Pro models, to help with strong demand for the Pro.

And that popularity should translate to more widespread adoption of the dynamic island, according to supply chain analystRoss Young, who expects to see the feature across the entire range for theiPhone 15.

It’s a move that is certain to find favour with lovers of Apple’s more modest offerings. But there’s a catch.

Despite expectations for the dynamic island to make it’s way onto lower-priced spec sheets, Young doesn’t believe 120Hz displays or ProMotion technology will follow suit, stating that the current supply chain wouldn’t be able to support such a move.

That means that the highly touted Always-On Display will remain a Pro-only feature, as well.

It makes sense for Apple to keep certain features exclusively for their premium offerings. Financially, it enables them to hit a wider array of price points, lowering the barrier to entry and enabling them to reach a wider variety of customers.
