It’s something you can infer by seeing the launch of the iPhone 14, so much so that when I saw this and it was commented on in the leaks, I couldn’t help but to say a “sureOne of the most reliable device screen leakers, Ross Young, has claimed that the dynamic island of the iPhone 14 Pro will reach the entire range of the iPhone 15.
Dynamic Island for everyone, but at 60Hz
Young commented on the leak a twitteralthough with a downside: we would have the Dynamic Island but not the permanent display or the variable 120 Hz of the ProMotion panels. It would still be something exclusive to the Pro line, because “the supply chain can’t handle it yet.”
So we would have a dynamic island with the same animations and the same great interface idea, but with a behavior perhaps not as fluid as that of the iPhone 14 Pro. Either way, it would be a first step to extending this new interface to more people. . and maybe a prelude to taking it to more devices. It’s something we’re already playing with in some concepts.
Young has a good track record, but beware: we’re still a year away from the launch of these iPhone 15s and the supposed iOS 17 that would come pre-installed on them. Even if Young is right, Apple still has time to change its mind. So let’s appreciate that but at the same time take it with a grain of salt.
