IMO it’s worth the trade off because you don’t notice it 99% of the time since you are using your phone in portrait mode most of the time. And Face ID in my personal opinion is superior to fingerprint scanner. Additionally Apple also uses the Face ID depth scanner to create depth in pictures taken from front facing camera. Which means better selfies, faster and accurate autofocus and also you can add portrait mode bokeh depth of field in selfies. The comprise of a small screen cutout in the edge of the display is well worth these features.

[@faby_baby]

the iphone 12 and lower has a bigger notch by the way so if you want the smaller one that's shown in the video go with the 13's or base 14's also Jesus loves you and wants you to come to him :D (Romans 10:9)

[@AngelSeph]

Dynamic Island could have definitely been implemented with the notch especially the smaller 13/standard 14 one which just makes it hard for me to get behind it no matter how cool it is or could be.

[@aemen8796]

Yup. It looks great but it can be implemented with the nothing. It's a software, not a hardware limitation.

[@GiulianoReali]

It's the coolest thing about their newest Pro models. Why would they put it in cheaper/older devices, from a marketing standpoint?

[@AngelSeph]

@@GiulianoReali only because they’re marketing to the stupidest fanbase, if any other company tried something like this they would be dragged for it (see the Windows 11 requirements drama). By all means Apple should profit from that stupidity with phones that need an arbitrary software exclusive feature to seem cool but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be acknowledged as such.

[@the_letter_b]

That's what I wish they had done, Dynamic Notch. The DI stands out too much and intrudes more into things. The small space above it isn't enough to be useful, you just end up seeing the very edge of a video. Hopefully they do that with the 15. Unfortunately, they have so many diehard fans and people who want to justify their expensive purchases not being completely honest and acting like it's the best thing ever so who knows if they will get enough negative feedback about it to change.

[@bemorewantless]

It seems like the majority of Dynamic Island effects could be applied to the notch, though I doubt Apple ever would allow that convenience for earlier customers due to dat sweet cash.

[@silasbozarth9857]

I think if they do it right all of them could be applied to the notch and they might add it to the notch in the farther future but only time will tell.

[@the_letter_b]

Well, the notches take up more space horizontally so it may be hard to do much animation-wise with them on existing models but what I wish they had done with the whole 14 line is a "Dynamic Notch" instead of island. The DI stands out too much and intrudes more into things. The small space above it isn't enough to be useful, you just end up seeing the very edge of a video. Hopefully they do that with the 15.

2:17 Both phones show whatever focus mode you are on. It didn’t show the symbol because a background app had used or was using the 13 pro’s location, so it shows that as a little arrow instead. If it wasn’t, you would have seen the Focus mode symbol.

[@riickyworld1]

Apple Maps shows directions in the Dynamic island. So far I think it’s the only Map app that uses the dynamic Island for directions. Every other map app I tried so far just shows the little location icon. I guess the developers haven’t fully updated their app to fully use the dynamic Island

I have been using a 14 Pro Max for the past month, and from my experience the dynamic island is not a ground breaking feature which will boost your productivity. But the animations are super smooth and very soothing to look at. It feels very natural overall.

[@NicholasA1747]

[@Thatbeardedguy86]

​@@NicholasA1747I'm definitely in the same boat as you. I hate the Dynamic Island. It was just like the Touch Bar. A useless upgrade that looks "pretty" and takes away from usability.

[@MLCFMLCF]

coming from one year after the video released. not sure if it was with the update of iOS 17, but if you now use Apple Maps for navigating, the dynamic island will be actually showing how far till your next turn and signs for switching lanes will be popping off in the dynamic island. Think it is much more intuitive using Apple Maps on dynamic island right now.

[@Kliffy77]

Touch bar 2.0

[@mackstewart4203]

Except this can easily be brought to many more devices unlike Touch Bar

[@theconformist2399]

Disagree. I disliked the Touch Bar & thought it was useless, to be proved right just a few years later. The Dynamic Island actually works ergonomically cause you’re always looking at the screen. The Touch Bar was DOA because you had to look down at the keyboard to use it. Who wants touch keys? Nobody. So long as the Dynamic Island is expanded to the rest of the iPhone lineup (beyond the Pro models), they can make it a proper UI element. The only question is what’s going to happen when the camera cutout is shrunk further (or removed entirely) in the future. Are they just gonna keep the Dynamic Island without any cutout?

[@Legority]

@@theconformist2399 they’ll probably slowly shrink the actual cutouts, and remove the software maybe 5-10 years from now (likely when AR glasses are more of a thing..maybe)

Just got the 15 about 5 days ago, I thought the island was just another place for the camera but was pleasantly surprised when I found out all the cool stuff it can do!

[@norbertfranqui]

Similar to another comment, you should have tried the Apple maps not Google one. It shows the directions on the dynamic island as you are driving, and you can fully use other apps on your phone while knowing at every moment when you need to turn, then a small popup to make it bigger and alert you temporarily shows up when you need to take a turn. It's so useful, that even coming from a FOLD device that has a huge screen, this is less intrusive than the fold's PiP mode.

[@xthetic.studios]

At 2:19 I’m pretty sure the focus mode does show beside the time, it’s just that at that moment an app in the background is using location

[@nalien182]

yeah thats exactly whats happening, i have the regular notch and it shows my focus mode symbol unless i open an application that needs to use the location

[@kiwi.kiwi.]

I have the Dynamic Island and I personally don’t make a lot of use of it. Sometimes you have a pop-up which appears below the island instead of inside of it, too. So if you have the notch, I’d recommend you keep it until it’s actually time for you to upgrade

[@incredibilistic]

It's clear that the Dynamic Island offers a lot more quality of life features than the lifeless notch. My only complaint with your test is that you chose to demo Google Maps on the Dynamic Island versus Apple Maps. I don't have the iPhone 14 Pro Max (yet) but I'm pretty sure if you long-press on the navigation using Apple Maps you get more information versus Google Maps. Otherwise yes, the Dynamic Island is a great addition to how you use an iPhone and once other apps take advantage of that space like sports scores, maybe a stock ticker, services like Lyft or maybe an update on when a flight is arriving/departing it'll be an even more useful tool that people will want.

[@eddybuyer1759]

@@eddybuyer1759 -- You selectively left out the word "quality". The term "quality of life" is very common when describing a feature that makes a product easier to use. For example: rubber grips on a pot you might use to boil pasta, which means you don't have to grab oven mitts to pick it up. Or better yet a built-in or clip-on strainer so you can drain the pasta without removing it from the pot. In the case of the Dynamic Island being able to see scores, the remaining time on a timer or incoming Lyft ride means not having to go into an app to see that same information.

i came from an se 2020 so I've never actually had a notch, but the island is really cool, i love that it shows things like battery charging or reaching 20 there instead of covering the whole screen. i'm a music girlie too, so i love the music cover when you're out of the app. overall it feels very modern and doesn't take up that much space compared to the notch, which i honestly wouldn't mind either

[@GinJac]

My conclusions are: you basicly have a notch, with 1mm of screen above it. and when you play music, the notch will get bigger, and literally has no added value, besides letting you know music is playing. I don't care, I hear the F*****G music. And the timer... I set a timer because I am busy with other things, like cooking. So the timer is turned on because I don't have the time to constantly look what time it is. And now apple promotes the dynamic island with a timer. Like heeeyyyy, now you can set a timer for 5 minutes, and look at the timer for 5 minutes to see it counting down.

[@GinJac]

what I basically try to say is. It looks nice, I agree. But it is not game changing and should for no one be a reason to upgrade if you have a iphone 11/12/13 pro. Think about your wallet. If your battery is under 80%, just replace it. save the money and go on a holiday with your partner. maybe a tropical island.

Do not disturb is in the same spot, there is only space for 1 icon there. That is why you didnt see it

Great Video 👍.. thanks for the comparisons .. thanks for all the info ℹ️

Why can't they put the island higher up so it's less in the way?

[@nikhii]

dynamic island is such a great upgrade

Very informative. Thx

Somehow when using Xperia 5 II for the past 3 years, I haven't a single time wished I had a notch, punchhole or a dynamic island on my phone... Adding 3mm on the top bezel of the phone for a camera is really such an issue?

[@OdieNY]

I honestly like the look of the notch but the dynamic island can do a lot more

[@vjerapavelic7417]

I like the dynamic island and its idea, but as an iphone 13 user, i dont think its a reason by itself to upgrade

[@YourLocalSnag]

Dynamic Island is overall an unnecessary feature which has the exact same features as the notch. When an application is running in the background the only thing different is that the icon appears in the top middle of the screen with the Dynamic Island, however the notch the icons are in the top left of your screen. It’s just an unnecessary feature in the end…

I went from a 12 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max and I hate it I miss the notch it takes up way to much space in videos and games. Edit I feel like they could have implemented the same software with the notch and not effected watching videos as much as it does. It really bothers me I miss the notch so much I've had it 5 days so maybe with time it'll change... Here's hoping.

[@chelodaffa2084]

can we have the option to turn off the Dynamic Island? i just want a new notch :)

[@georgestrus9333]

Wait a second? It sounds like you want an apple with android features LOL

The iPhone 16 was the first time I had an iPhone with Dynamic Island and I like it much better than the notch
