Like everybody else, I laughed whenApplecalled its new notch replacement “Dynamic Island”: it sounds like somewhere crypto bros would go to for a conference, or where Instagram influencers go on their holidays.
But Dynamic Island has grown on me, and while it’s more invasive than the dreaded notch – it sits lower down in the display, and as a result doesn’t fade into the case as the notch does – Apple’s playful approach to it, with it becoming a status indicator and a Face ID notification and no doubt all kinds of amusing things once app developers get to play with it, has already won me over on myiPhone 14 Pro. It’s fun, and I love it when tech is fun.
Why Dynamic Island should be on every iPhone 15
Standardising on the Dynamic Island definitely makes sense, though. I’ve spotted some interface weirdness iniOS16 on my iPhone 14 Pro where places such as the widget screen aren’t yet optimised for the new display, leaving a bit of a mess. For Apple, and more importantly for app developers, it’s much easier to cater for different display sizes if you don’t also have to design for and test on completely different display layouts.
Today, iOS 16 supportsiPhonesgoing back to the 2nd generation iPhone SE and theiPhone 8– and that means developers have to design not just for screens of 4.7 inches, 5.5 inches, 5.85 inches, 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches but also phones without notches, phones with big notches, phones with smaller notches and phones with Dynamic Island too. The number of screens will reduce over time as Apple phases out more models; it’d make sense to standardise the layouts too. Why should Pro buyers have all the fun?
