I’m so glad that I spent $1400 upgrading from my iPhone 13 PRO so that I can have the new revolutionary dynamic island. I want people to know that I have the new iPhone and it makes me feel superior. Thank you apple for the much needed update 😍😍 always innovating apple
I like it. But there definitely needs to be an toggle option. It’s not gonna be a lot of peoples mug of beer.
Just tested it, and it doesn't have the gray outline while watching videos in landscape mode.
I never heard this saying! Always been "not my cup of tea". I like this one much more.
I think “cup of tea” is overused. Glad you like this one. First ones on me. 👊😃👍
Maybe this has something to do with accessibility? Hopefully it is a toggle and not system wide by default.
Hopefully one can decide to toggle this "feature" off, cuz it's horrible.
October is Apple’s annual Comedy Gold month. This is all a joke. Right..?
Looks like it only does this while the phone is locked. It disappears for me after Face ID unlocks my phone.
LOL, Apple just won’t give users a break and give then an opportunity to use a black background to conceal that stupid looking island of misfit toys. What a crap company they have become that their terrible form factor decisions must always outweigh customer opinions. Arrogant a$$h@(es!
It was ugly on black background, but I understand there are people who puts black wallpaper just to hide it.
They should made this an option.

It only has border when there is something active, if nothings active it stays solid black so that’s something… I hate the borders… the music border doesn’t even change to match artwork lol just stays grey.

Wasn’t the whole point of the DI to blend it in with the broader UI/UX?
So why do you buy their products and frequent a website for enthusiasts of the company?
Seems utterly silly! I KNOW they are promoting the D.I., a lot. But give the user a darn choice! Many with the "pill island" may not want to see the outline...but they clearly they know it's there and they have it. No reason for the outline. SMH.
While in older phones with notch, Apple did seem to create backgrounds purposely that actually hid the notch.

Why...the f would you make it appear again. Seriously this is one of the many signs Apple lost it.
