hello. This is Technologytodaynow. This posting would like to share the latest news about the Dynamic Island of the iPhone 17 Pro.
Possible iPhone 17 Pro Dynamic Island Changes and Current Status
Before the release of the iPhone 12 series, rumours had reported that the series would feature small notches. However, the small notches were actually introduced for the first time in the iPhone 13 series. This trend is likely to be similar on Dynamic Island.
iPhone 17 Pro Dynamic Island Expected
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an expert Apple analyst, the iPhone 17 Pro is likely to maintain the same size of the Dynamic Island. Compared to previous iPhone models that used the notch design, the Dynamic Island has the advantage of being smaller in area, which interferes with the display less, and improves multitasking capabilities. However, it is still regrettable that it is still large compared to the punch hole design of the Android smartphone.
Expected Disadvantages
Maintaining the dynamic island size of the iPhone 17 Pro can be considered one of the iPhone’s drawbacks. This is because many users prefer security solutions, such as Face ID, that provide the convenience of face recognition, but they don’t want to miss the cool display experience that a small punch hole gives them. This can still be a regret.
Changes Ahead
Given the large notches maintained on the iPhone X, Xs, 11, and 12 series, it is likely that similar-sized dynamic islands will continue to be used on the iPhone 17 Pro.
There is also the possibility that a smaller dynamic island will be introduced on the iPhone 18 Pro later.
Currently, the Dynamic Island includes a front camera, a dot projector for Face ID, and an infrared camera. According to the original iPhone display roadmap, the iPhone 17 Pro was expected to have only the front camera, featuring a single punch hole, but in reality, it does not have a single punch hole either
Conclusion
The reason why the iPhone 17 Pro’s Dynamic Island cannot be reduced in size seems to be due to technical constraints that prevent the sensors from being exposed to the outside world. This is a factor that can affect the normal operation of Face ID, and it is also believed that there are difficulties in the development process.
