The Mistakes of Apple's Dynamic Island!

[@Suddenlyits1960]

I have to laugh at all the duped people who are calling this a feature. It isn’t. The pill only exists because apple stubbornly refuses to ditch their stupid Face ID system and needs a cutout for the sensors and camera. Period. The notch was already terrible,and moving to this pill shape has now taken away even more useable screen area as the cutout has been move lower into the display. The cutout is obnoxious. It’s always there and renders the top part of the screen worthless. It’s there watching videos,is there looking at stuff on the web. It’s like having a big blotch of bird crap on your cars windshield right in the middle of your view,only you can’t just wipe it off. Why anyone at apple thought this was a good idea and why they don’t just ditch their idiotic Face ID is beyond me.

[@officialmaskedguy]

👏🏻this is the point🔥

[@sodapone]

Boo-hoo, woe is you now that the camera cutout sits 4 millimetres deeper into the phone screen. Yes, I measured it. There's a reason why the pop-up camera and under-display camera lost to having a camera cutout across all phones in the first place, and that is that 99% of consumers would rather compromise the screen than compromise the front camera quality (under-display) or the reliability of the phone (pop-up). It becomes invisible to the majority of people who use an iPhone for more than 5 minutes, and the Dynamic Island makes it even more invisible because it turns the cutout into a part of the GUI, giving it a function that obscures the true nature of its existence. Face ID is better than fingerprint unlock, especially under-display fingerprint unlock, and I'm tired of people who think it isn't. It's invisible. I lift my phone and it unlocks before I even move a finger. After dealing with an optical under-display fingerprint sensor in a OnePlus, plus ones on the back in an Essential PH-1 and Galaxy S8, I much prefer it, and, much like nearly every iPhone user, would rather have a larger display cutout that fits the Face ID sensors than have a fingerprint sensor. And this isn't even getting into how many more data points Face ID samples than your average fingerprint sensor, and especially an under-display one. Horrible take. Embarrassingly bad.

Face id is literally awesome and i love dynamic island

[@Hilighted]

@@sodapone​​⁠ That’s why Apple execs refer to it internally as the Dynamic Dildo. “It’ll screw them any way they turn it” is the inside joke. Apple Insider predicts that the next iPhone will have a second, even bigger one on the bottom. Sounds like you’ll be singing praises about that new one as well. Like the original poster mentioned, it’s like a huge bird crap on your windshield. Yes you eventually learn to tolerate it - but why should you have to on such an expensive device?

Dynamic island is great but even apple didn’t use it at its max capacity, for example, notifications. Instead of having it popping out of the island for example, it remains a banner that slides from the top, go through the island and stops under it.

[@DragonOfTheMortalKombat]

Dynamic island is nothing more than an excuse from apple to prevent real multitasking such as floating windows and split-screen, which android users have been enjoying for........ past decade!!??

[@PartiallyCooked]

I would assume this is done for backwards compatibility. If they made it work with Dynamic Island, it would most likely interfere with the way notifications are currently displayed that’s already built into apps and end up resulting in a majority of the apps, if not all, of the App Store’s app’s notifications would just cease to work. Of course we know why they wouldn’t do that.

[@BlindMango]

Dynamic Island can certainly still be a feature if everything goes under screen, basically you wouldn't see it at all unless you started doing multi-tasking, then it would just pop up seamlessly and go away when you're done

[@slob5041]

Yeah this was probably the original idea, it's also a lot easier to do a big cut out that can go transparent rather than a bunch of little ones.

[@patrickrodriguez8797]

For me, the biggest issue with the Dynamic Island is that some third-party app developers lock this feature in a paywall/subscription.

[@RyanGonTV]

I agree with you.

[@aRandomPersonOfTheInternet]

That is actually forbidden by the App Store guidelines. Developers are not allowed to paywall any system integrations like Picture-in-Picture mode, Shortcuts, Notifications, the Dynamic Island etc. These features are provided by the Operating System itself, and once they’ve been implemented - they should be rolled out to every user without exception. Unless it’s a custom made feature INSIDE the app, that has nothing to do with iOS.

Having had the 14 pro max since a month after it came out, I don’t have any reason to complain about the dynamic island. I don’t use it often, other than to accept calls and look at what I’m listening to. Yes you do have to put your finger near the camera but it has never affected the front camera.

[@realquadmoo]

Yeah, Apple has some sort of thing for smudges in that area. Plus, if it's hard to reach, you can use Reachability. And he even said "reachability". This dude is clueless. When you overlay the dynamic island to a notch it's still smaller. Having a bit of screen on the top only makes it easier to visualize what's behind it. He also complains about the functionality of the dynamic island, well what can you do with a boring old notch? Like jeez dude.

[@HasanTheCoder]

what about media consuming

[@Someone-ir7wx]

I just have a suggestion. Why don'tot Apple add a ‘Clear App Data & Documents’ option for all apps (Device Apps & Third-party Apps) for iOS? Deleting app then reinstalling it wouldn't work when you don't have WiFi because you can't reinstall the app, and not all apps have that option built-in. Adding it for all apps would be a great idea, and would make the iOS device perfect, and if we can do it right from the home screen as well will be even perfect. Who agrees?

[@LuhvesYT]

Apple can't do that since they can't get control of ALL the apps (privacy info) and stuff like that. But I guess when privacy policy isn't too strict then apple will add it?

I couldn’t stand the notch. the screen always felt ‘obstructed’ by something hanging overhead. Sometimes I instinctively duck my head under to look at stuff. With Dynamic Island, the screen borders are reached and I find myself using the phone more. The tappable cutout successfully tricks my mind to treat it as usable space.

Ik it’s a new feature n Apple will probably refine it much better in their future OSs n hell, we may even see notifications animations from the island lol. Well, it’s just my experience at the end of the day, so other people may like it or dislike it, it’s their choice n I respect it. No offence, but judging a thing before trying it for yourself is just stupid n biased bs bruv.

In case someone is interested: 1. Taking more Space: That’s not true, the brain is capable of filling up the hole based on the rest of the image. 2. Fingerprints: Most users (unconsciously, perhaps) will wipe off the front camera before using it. Pay attention to that next time somebody takes a selfie. 3. Reachable: the island is mainly used while the phone is in a holder (specially driving) or laying flat. 4. Use: you have to be kidding yourself if you don’t find it really handy to multitask (maps + music always there) regardless of what you’re doing. Just my 2 cents.

i don’t think the dynamic island really had anything to do with giving the device more screen real estate. i’ve always seen it purely as a way to give more functionality to the area of the display that holds one of the core components to ios, face id. the dynamic island is located lower than the notch due to there having to be an active touchable area, as well as there being symmetry to the overall experience. due to the way the notch is designed on the 13/ 13 pro/ 14, any animation would look a little glitchy, a little half baked. a notification bar that transitions to a pop up window looks messy compared to a floating shape transitioning to a pop up window. it’s all about mixing functionality with aesthetics.

Totally agree with everything mentioned here 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you for reminding me why I skipped the 14 promax and got a 13 promax. I can’t stand the way the dynamic island looks. It takes up more space and I would never be able to reach it anyway to interact. It looks cool, but I don’t think it’s a great execution. They literally could have these exact animations without a notch at all and position them at say the bottom of the screen or the right side of the screen or even let you customize where it will pop up. Maybe we will have to wait for years for that.

Lets hope 15 pro will come with a under-display camera and astronomy photography.

Thanks for this video… i was thinking of upgrading to an iPhone 15 pro max but the Dynamic Island problem when watching for example youtube videos is something I don’t like about it! :-/ hopefully they take it off or change that for future iPhones!

[@Gottaaalovedanielvlogs]

For the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 15 it’s not true that it shows when watching a KZbin video! Maybe the new update fixed that? But I am able to watch a KZbin video without the Dynamic Island showing!

[@yumicgaming]

well, it isn't even possible for the dynamic island to disappear fully.

[@defiledhorror]

The Dynamic Island is the reason I am staying with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. This video even reinforced why I’m skipping the 14 Pro and perhaps the 15 also. Thank you! 🙏

[@lostworld5667]

infact many are this way

[@ChicMag]

Imagine upgrading a 1000 dollar phone every year

[@defiledhorror]

@@lostworld5667 plus the 13 PM is so amazing! Why would anyone wanna upgrade. But there is always the latest greatest urge you get…

[@elgatitokawai55]

i wouldn't upgrade till iphone 17

[@defiledhorror]

@@elgatitokawai55 wise! 🧠

I like the Dynamic Island because if im playing a game like say Roblox the video call won’t kick me from the game

[@alexdcunha5970]

I genuinely enjoy using the dynamic island. I hope to god that Apple doesn't bring back Touch ID on iPhones because I love Face ID and would not like to replace it with any other method cuz Touch ID is literally the worst, hated it since before the iPhone X and always will hate it. I have had zero instances where the dynamic island has been a problem or issue in the way I use my phone or interact with my device; it's been the opposite - it makes using my phone much better than my previous iPhone XS with the notch, and actually saves me screen space just because of all the visual items integrated into and around it instead of showing up as a notification banner under the notch.

[@mephone42209]

The Dynamic Island is great.

[@JummyMusic]

I don’t have a big hand, but I always use my 14 pro max by one hand, and actually it’s easy to use dynamic island, you just need to hold ur phone in specific way)

[@gabgab5437]

the island is so far away for my fingers on my pro max. If there was only a way to reach easier the top of my iPhone like a gesture called reachability to lower the top half of the screen so it’s within easy reach of my thumb............. Right?

[@SSukram_]

I love the dynamic island. I have an app on my android to add it to my pixel 7. I love it

[@sparky6757]

So I don’t have an iPhone 14, still rocking my XR until a USB C iPhone hits the market, but I think I’d like the space above the island for gaming and videos. A few pixels is enough to see color, which is enough for a “peripheral view” sort of effect.

[@Shbeeve]

its clean and nice to look at and useful

[@aFandøOfLandø]

People love to hate on the Dynamic Island because "Oh well it's at the top of the phone and it distracts you" and stuff, but where do regular notifications come from? the top. Even on androids all your notifications come from the top of the phone which is still hard to reach. If you ask me DI is a pretty good solution to a problem that, well, only Apple has

[@ITSBROWSINGTIME]

I feel like if apple made an under screen face id and front camera, they should add a toggle if they want the island or not. Maybe even customisable shape of the island, even a circle, pill, etc.

[@cesardejeronimo8184]

Previously to access the timer I would have to unlock the phone and open the app. It's quite convenient to have it displayed when I simply turn on the phone. In my line of work we are constantly setting multiple timers throughout the day. At times I can't mess around with the phone screen since I may get some chemicals on it. This reduces the amount of touching I do on the phone while working.

[@jewlyussims5004]

I just think of the Dynamic Island as a digital notch, but I’m always switch between my iPhone 15 and iPhone SE 3 cause I’m so much more used to the home button than I am Face ID and, I’ll admit, the Dynamic Island is a little distracting when I’m watching videos or playing games, but honestly the iPhone 15 works great with games

[@thombykov1651]

I dislike the idea of the DI showing notifications. I primarily use DI for viewing audio while also viewing maps - thus allowing for “multitasking”.

[@hoksicala]

I really don’t mind the dynamic island. Think it looks way better than the notch.

[@KadekRegen]

imagine windows without start menu. That’s what dynamic island will going in the future, you’ll be missed it.

[@Soundwaiv]

Very well-made and edited, and very good voiceover. Enjoyed it, and also very good analysis. Subscribed. 😀

[@RobloxDude_]

I have the regular iPhone 14 and when I turn my phone it does not cut in it knows the notch is there 0:54

[@TommyisfromViceCity]

I think Apple need to take full advantage of the dynamic island like introducing a multi screen/tasking mini app by pressing the dynamic island and it will be very useful.

[@NukeZoned]

its something that would be super cool if it was released 3 or more years ago but not in todays age, I feel like that is a trend with recent apple

[@Mohammad_Ali__]

As an iPhone user, I am satisfied that my device is not an iPhone 14. The display around the camera just makes me think that battery is slightly being used more than that of its predecessors.
