Close, but not quite. A notch is, by definition, along the edge of something. An indentation of the edge. A cutout of the edge.
it will definitely be approved. This app is genius, as is the Dynamic Island, not just in its design, but its playful name that is inspiring so much talk. Brilliant move by Apple, once again.
Apple is the first to integrate the "notch" so well into the UI and make it functional instead of just being in the way doing nothing. Not "reinventing" but a genius idea, has nothing to do with the name.
I would like to see in the Dynamic Island a start to finish panoramic view of the 2024 Olympics 100 Meter dash final …
The iPhone 14 Pro includes a clever new Dynamic Island that obscures the front-facing TrueDepth camera hardware, and third-party app developers are already experimenting with ways to take advantage of the new iPhone capabilities.
Apple is allowing third-party developers to create Dynamic Island experiences, which might end up including games. Kriss Smolka, the developer behind apps like WaterMinder and HabitMinder, today shared a simple Dynamic Island game concept modeled after Pong.
In the demo, the "Hit the Island" game uses a paddle at the bottom to send a ball up to the Dynamic Island, with the goal being to hit the Island and cause it to animate.
Smolka said that the game is "turning out nice," but that there are some lag issues to overcome. Whether Apple will allow this kind of game involving the Dynamic Island remains to be seen, but there are undoubtedly other unique implementations that we can expect to see following the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro models this Friday.
Apple designed the Dynamic Island to morph and change shape to accommodate what's on the iPhone's screen, and it is being used as a front-and-center information hub. The Dynamic Island blends into the display and provides at-a-glance information about apps and services that are being used on the iPhone.
We'll have a deep dive into the Dynamic Island coming later this week, so make sure to stay tuned to MacRumors.

I can't be the only one that actually wants to play this game... brings back so many memories.
This is akin to when developers started writing games for the MacBook Pro Touch Bar.

They hate the word notch, so yes, it has EVERYTHING to do with the name. Have you ever worked in Marketing? Forcing customers now to focus on the Notch is not "genius" Lol, they are now controlling the conversation from Notch to Island..can you not see that?
Dynamic BS! Get rid of that stupid notch!
Imagine watching TV with a hole in the screen.

ironically, the little games and fun apps like samplr (a music production tool running entirely on the touchbar) were one of my favourite parts of the touchbar considering it’s status of being useful.. or not. apps like this game bring that fun back into apple’s new ‘touchbar island’
Ye probably true. Doesnt stop Someone from coding their own “ripoff” though.
Yes. It is. It’s just that this “notch” has been fully embraced unlike previous notch.
