I read through five pages of this post and not one of you have posted the most important thing of this news, and it's that if it's already being copied, then it's another one in the bag for Tim Apple.
Got a tip for us?

Actually, software and the technology that it manifests is important, and actually very meaningful to modern society.
Hardware? Sure, CPUs, chips, electronics, batteries, semiconductors, all are sexy and nice. But in the modern era, hardware without software... is just a doorstop.
There once was a time when hardware was very functional and didn't need any software. I'm thinking of refrigerators, toaster ovens, and the Ford Edsel cars of the 1950s?
The very medium -- internet forums -- that you are communicating on is based on software technology. You say that's not meaningful in 2022? Pffft.
If by they you mean Android, Its's already been done. This feature was copied from the LG V10 from 2015.
Apple's innovative Dynamic Island is an old Android trick from 7 years ago - Phandroid
Apple just announced its new iPhone 14 Pro series that introduces a feature called Dynamic Island, but it’s essentially a secondary-display of sorts that companies like LG actually innovated.

No need to copy dynamic island as androids have begun to move and will move to under screen selfie cameras that are not visible on the surface so , there will be no need to hide or disguise them as what this feature is really designed to do.
Honestly i didnt know there existed people who actually thought software to be inconsequential.Actually, software and the technology that it manifests is important, and actually very meaningful to modern society.

maybe im getting old, since theres no way any older person would say this
Plus what’s under that Dynamic Island copy isn’t remotely as advanced, secure and fast at recognizing the user as all the FaceID depth scanning hardware is.
Not gonna defend Apple’s software to be the best of the best, but at least the best integration across all devices at large (it makes using them in tandem a joy).
However, I for sure don’t see other brands trying to copy the hardware properly… the CPU/GPUs are still several years behind, compared to the latest and greatest iPhones. Not to mention the iPads that made the jump to desktop class chipsets.
“ they will try to copy the Apple experience, THEY ALWAYS DO ” - XD
that aside , it’s cool that people can reproduce it on their own outside the walled garden like it should be everywhere. I just can’t wait for a random guy to add stage manager to non M1 iPads.

the iPhone’s is a lot more than just animating a rounded rectangle. to say nothing of all the time, effort and communication smong different groups to make the D.I. Available to 3rd party developers.
Yes, it’s not even rising to meet the entire point: it’s not animating the csmera cut out.
Back in my Flash programming days, I was able to make a copy of the macOS Dock with magnification on, and it took me about a week to get it smooth. If I had never seen the Dock before, though, a lifetime would have been too short for me to come up with it on my own.
Time for all the copycats to find out various methods to copy Apple.
Geeizz!! There is a difference between creating something for a bit of viral video on tweeter and creating something that works reliably on the hands of hundreds of millions. Seriously, people in this forum never fail to amaze me.
You should try re-reading the meaning behind the postActually, software and the technology that it manifests is important, and actually very meaningful to modern society.

Yea it’s a shame that they will copy this. They often abandon their own ideas only to bring it back a few years later once the iPhone adopts it.If by they you mean Android, Its's already been done. This feature was copied from the LG V10 from 2015.

On Sammyfans. 🤮
Well that phone in this pic definitely looks better and more modern than any iPhone.
Also the dot emitter, and the regular front facing camera, and the speaker, and the microphone.
