Apple just launched the iPhone 14 series comprising iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Both of the latter models have the new Dynamic Island feature. This feature is currently available only for these two models; the other versions of the iPhone do not have the Dynamic Island, they rather have an oddly shaped notch. Android users should not lose heart because Dynamic Island is now available for Android phones. Of course, it’s not an original feature, but several developers have done an excellent job mimicking it.
What Is Dynamic Island?
Dynamic Island is a feature available on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max phones. It is a pill-shaped notch at the top of the screen. It is placed in a position that coincides with the hardware notch of the iPhone. This pill-shaped notch displays notifications from most apps on the device. Users can select which notifications should be displayed on the Dyanamic Island and which not. The pill-shaped notch can be expanded with a single click to view the entire notification. It is an excellent way to keep tabs on notifications on your latest iPhone.
