iPhone 17 Pro Max Will Feature Smaller Dynamic Island, Claims Leaker

[brofkand]

Unless they’re getting rid of the stupid notch altogether, they needn’t bother.

I have no issue with it now. But I guess they need to add something to the what's changed list for the new model.

 

[Hopefully Smarter]

Doesn’t matter. Tech writers love to write about t6his stuff.

I have never met anyone who talked about a "notch" or "dynamic island" as a detriment. EVER

I want a Dynamic Island on my Apple Watch Ultra

I don't even have the energy to pretend to care

Tim rearranging the deck chairs on the iPhone ship feels totally unimportant

OK....so the IP17, IP18 and IP19 will be about making the island smaller.

I would like to see a dynamic notch.

Notchsure that's a good idea

I feel Dynamic Island and the Macbook Pro touch-bar have something in common

I’d love a pinhole (Fantasy Island) like the galaxy as it’s so much less intrusive or put a physical bump at the top of the phone to put the camera/ sensor array leaving the screen untouched. I’ve seen mockups of this idea and wish I could find them. My guess is the camera would be too high and look down at the user.

Features like this need to be on both Pro models, not just the Max.

But Apple says Dynamic Island is a feature, so why would they make it smaller?

Climate change. Apparently the melting ice in the arctic and the rising water levels affect even the dynamic islands of Cupertino

I feel the same thing about camera control and the Touch Bar

As long as I don’t get voted off the island…

With a few more years of advances and shrinking, Dynamic Island will turn into Shutter Island.

The end game is an Apple logo-shaped punch hole.

The Max has become the Pro Pro.

How about a Dynamic Mic?

Oppo had a couple of models with popup camera, for example https://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_reno2_z-pictures-9809.php.

Dynamic Island is a combination of a hardware necessity and a software element that facilitates multitasking on a small screen. The hardware element could go away entirely but the software aspect could remain while becoming more flexible.

I really dislike the Dynamic Island. It's up there with 3D Touch IMO. I know some people liked 3D Touch, but I thought it was basically a solution looking for a problem. Same goes for Dynamic Island. I'm happy Apple ditched 3D Touch after a while.

You have it backwards. Dynamic Island is there because there's a real need for a front-facing camera (i.e. the problem). Making it into the island added some usefulness (i.e. the solution) to what would otherwise be dead space on the screen. It's not a "solution looking for a problem" at all.

No matter how small Dynamic Notchland is, it is still a notch.

The solution is this: Bring back bezels, and make them the same height as Dynamic Notchland. Also, get rid of the curved corners on the display and make them 90-degrees again.

Unlikely. They could have added FaceID to MacBooks years ago with no problems, but have chosen not to do so.

Not sure how you arrive at that conclusion. An iPhone is a lot thicker than a MacBook Air/Pro lid, which could very well be the issue.

I just want support for the Apple Pencil.
