I mean every report so far has been about the Pro doing extremely well while the 14 isn't so it sure seems like that is a factor in why.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 16.1 Beta Adds More Pronounced Gray Border Around Dynamic Island When Using Black Wallpapers or in Dark Mode

Why? As if people can’t see UI elements near the Dynamic Island without a border around the icons?
Yeah exactly. The Pro is kind of lackluster as a Pro but the regular iPhone looks even worse in comparison. This is the ultimate upsell gambit on Apple's part and I hope they learn their lesson. But I'm afraid they are going to learn the wrong lesson.
Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. Maybe the "regular" iPhone is supposed to be the "budget" iPhone and the "Pro" is the "real" iPhone.
But if that's how they see it I disagree for several reasons.
If it's working, why would they change it? They want the Pro to do better cause it makes them more money.
I kept adding edits to that post but yeah sadly that's the conclusion I think they will come to. They will learn what I think is the wrong lesson and further fragment the lineup.
The articles says the border only appears when there is something being displayed on the island. If it’s dormant the border is not there. It’s not that big a deal.
I just updated, and I see no gray border, regardless of the darkness of my background while paying music.
I thought the whole point of the black was to hide the pill shapes? Odd.
As other have mentioned, before we get the pitchforks out...
The outline only appears when something is active in the Island, otherwise there is no gray outline at all. The outline is likely there to better highlight which area can be touched.
I like that there is something surrounding it as long as it is being used. Makes it extra easy to tell if something is currently happening on your phone. If it was there constantly, then I wouldn’t like it.
Devolution.
I want the island to be invisible, I want whatever is in it to appear as part of the background.

But it only shows when on AOD, and it's not very noticeable for me. Doesn't show up in any other circumstance.
I said it already but Dynamic Island is the worst gimmick I've ever seen. I've been using the new iPhone for a week and I realized that I don't look at the notch at all. It's the worst place to put glorified notifications on.
This doesn't affect me, as I don't have a phone with DI, but the move confuses me. Apple must know that some people are using dark/black wallpapers because they find the DI distracting or annoying. So I hope it's a feature that can be turned off.
You know what’s absolutely hilarious about this; aside from the fact that the island is one of the most distracting and unintelligent designs Apple has ever done?
The fact that the Island has that gray ring around it like that, makes you instinctively go for it in certain apps with black backgrounds that have similar search bars, like on Reddit I’ve almost tapped the island to search like a dozen times.

Buddy you need no portfolio lmao. Anyone with an IQ over 110 can design better.
IQ has nothing to do with being good at design, but I guess you just answered my question on that in a roundabout way. I've heard all I need to hear.
To think people made fun of the punch hole cut outs. This thing ug.
