During the fourth quarter of last year, we started hearing more rumors about... Apple Reduce size of dynamic island pieces. This possibility was first mentioned by Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu who said that limiting the size of the format change notification system It will be limited to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. This will be the first change made to the dynamic island size because Apple included the feature with iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

If this were 1940. We'd be screaming "STOP THE PRESS" and a photo is spinning phonearena It will appear before your eyes with a headline announcing that Apple analyst Ming-chi Kuo now says he expects no change in the size of the dynamic island at any time. iPhone 17 model. Kuo, who works for TF International, is known for his precise Apple calls, so when he says the size of the dynamic island is not being reduced on any iPhone 17 The form, you can take it to the bank. Well, kind of.

I expect dynamic island size to remain largely unchanged across 2H25,” Kuo said on “X” on Friday. iPhone 17 series. “I don't know about you, but that's 'largely unchanged' wording that leaves a small opening just in case Kuo is wroog... Wurang... wrong (with a tip of the hat to the Fonz).

It's really not the size of the dynamic island that has non-believers hoping the feature will live up to the promise it showed when Apple unveiled it in September 2022. Before its introduction, there were some rumors about A second cutout that Apple has hidden at the top of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to make it look like a long cutout. But the introduction of the dynamic island surprised even more, and when the feature changed shapes during the reveal reveal of the audio controls, the OOOHS and AAAHS from people watching at home (including mine) made it seem like Apple was on a roll.

But like many of the features Apple brought to the iPhone that go back to Siri, even including most of them Apple Intelligence Features The Dynamic Island was a disappointment, and at this point, most iPhone users would rather see Apple throw all the Face ID components under the screen and bring the Prishine Display to the iPhone.

To this end, the tech giant It recently received a US patent that solves the problem Apple has of getting infrared light, used to scan and verify a user's face, through pixels under the iPhone's display. Apple discovered that it could remove part of the subpixel array to get infrared light through the pixels at the bottom of the screen. Will we see Face ID move under the glass for the iPhone 18 next year? Will Apple do something with the dynamic island in 2026? The answers to these questions are a little less than 20 months old.
