The US media 9to5Mac summarizes the behavior of Dynamic Island, a new feature introduced in iPhone14 Pro and iPhone14 Pro Max, so we will introduce it.
From Notch to Dynamic Island
The iPhone14 Pro and iPhone14 Pro Max have evolved from the notch of the previous model to a Dynamic Island that conveys the operating status of various apps with animation.
Dynamic Island is a new function that divides the face authentication sensor and the in-camera, which were conventionally combined into one notch, into two and uses the display part in the gap as a widget.
US media 9to5Mac has released how Dynamic Island was operated using the iPhone simulator.
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with Dynamic Island will be available for pre-order on September 9th at 9:00 pm and will go on sale on September 16th.
basic action
- When you close an app that supports Dynamic Island, the app window moves to Dynamic Island with an animation that sucks it in.
- Depending on the behavior of the app, the size of the Dynamic Island will change. For example, if you set a timer, Dynamic Island will show the remaining time.
- The Dynamic Island expands with a long press and displays buttons that allow basic operations. Timers can be paused or canceled. Apps like Music and FaceTime support similar actions.
- Animation will be displayed on Dynamic Island when you set focus mode or start charging your iPhone.
Behavior during picture-in-picture playback
- Videos playing in picture-in-picture cannot be superimposed on Dynamic Island.
- With the picture-in-picture window displayed at the top of the screen, if the Dynamic Island display is enlarged, the picture-in-picture window will move down.
Supports simultaneous display of multiple apps
Dynamic Island can display information of two apps at the same time.
9to5Mac displays music and timers side by side on Dynamic Island, showing how both apps can be operated from Dynamic Island.
Stop function during video playback
- Dynamic Island stops working while playing video in full screen.
- The icon does not appear and tapping it does nothing.
shortcut progress
The Dynamic Island also displays shortcut processing progress.
Expecting an increase in third-party apps
Apple has published the Dynamic Island API for app developers.
In the future, it is expected that the number of third-party applications that utilize Dynamic Island will increase.
