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
 
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.

This is already the case on 16.0.2, the Dynamic Island has a faint green border when a call is active on there.
 
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.

Couldn't care less about the grey border, but it'd be very neat if you'd somehow see approx. battery left on the always-on display.
