Dynamic Island: First Look at iPhone 14 Pro's New Pill-Shaped Cutout

[antiprotest]

Notch gonna lie, the animations make it really a superb feature and notch a compromise.

I was notch going to buy this year's iPhone, but after seeing the dynamic notch, I am notch so sure anymore.

We dodged the "i" bullet Pill & Hole cutout. Looks great, but I can't afford it.

 

[Populus]

You know what? I LOVE THE ****ING ISLAND

Ready for 14PM. Dynamic Island stole the show.

 

[smorrissey]

and USB-C port change next year....wee!!! yes but no.

 

[coolfactor]

that's clever

Absolutely genius way to utilize that space! I'm amazed!

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Looking forward to this and AOD.

 

[grouch]

That's cooler than I thought it would be, maybe it will make it's way to all models next year.

I will give them this, 'Dynamic Island', I thought oh god, what the hell, but it makes a lot of sense and makes very good use of the space.

 

[Eightarmedpet]

Yeah that’s brilliant actually.

Honestly, I really do not want to have controls like "pick up a call" way up there on the top, out of reach for single hand operation. And I also wonder how the sensors/cameras in that area will deal with the finger smudges if I'll be forced to touch in that area a lot.

Technically thats notch a notch, its a pill but I am notch gonna be picky about it this one time.

When I first saw the pill rumor I thought it was dumb to have the wasted space above the pill, but this is pretty damn clever.

I liked the narrator at the end. She made that long-winded video sounded like a full 6-minute orgasm.

Years ago I was watching a trashy daytime talk show and the episode was titled "You're Too Fat to be a Drag Queen." One of the participants stood up, snapped their fingers and said "You know what I say? If you can't hide it, decorate it!"

I don't know why but that line crossed my mind as I watched the Dynamic Island presentation.

 

[agsystems]

uh - no 8K recording - oh well - they will enable this 'next' year. The hardware seems capable enough to do it now.

Brilliant use of the pill, I love it. So it seems like this is actually just the one pill cutout instead of the pill and hole cutout?

 

[nCode]

Whats the forums obsession with nerds? It's a aesthetic feature, you can appreciate without being labelled a 'nerd'. 🙄

 

[gurty]

Touch bar for the iPhone?

 

[trip1ex]

And god damnit we are going to turn the notch into a strength if it's the last thing we do!!!

 

[AppleFan1998]

That's pretty great what they did to hide the sensors.

 

[fel10]

it’s a cool feature but people here are easily amused by the Epstein Island

 

[trip1ex]

Technically thats notch a notch, its a pill but I am notch gonna be picky about it this one time.

that's mighty notch of you

 

[JHBrown]

Smart way to use that space. Well done!
