Reply to comment by pacwess in Under-screen Face ID patent describes what could be a next-generation Dynamic Island. by SUPRVLLAN
Going away would be nice. But dynamic island is way better than the notch. At least that section of the display is usable and functional now.

It's annoying at best.
Although what Apple is pushing for I think is it'll be the dynamic island when needed and full screen when not needed. Therefore we get the best of both.

Annoying? Maybe compared to having all screen, but I’d definitely agree with the other commenter it’s way better than the notch. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it is simultaneously smaller than the notch, and more useful, since you can click it to easily switch apps.

I feel like the people saying it’s annoying don’t even have it. I have the 14 pro, it’s not annoying at all.

It’s “smaller” but it cuts into videos which the notch doesn’t do. It’s lower on the screen than the notch so it interrupts more content than the notch.

I grabbed a 14 pro max earlier this week, and I have yet to see a video that the dynamic island cuts into.

Take a screenshot in a 14 and then watch it in the 13 and you will notice how much of a screen you are loosing. The dynamic island is much lower (closer to the center of the screen)

Then sell away your iPhone and buy an Android or something that doesn't have a dynamic island

I have 14 pro and it doesn’t cut into the video unless you do that thing where video stretches to full screen

Hell no, it's honestly the best upgrade I did from a pixel > xs > 14 pro. They finally made live notifications better like knowing Im muted on a call because my soundwave isn't changing, or spotify's tap to access, or ubers little car animation.
Sucks when going full screen on a movie but even then I've just blanked it out

I honestly prefer the notch over the dynamic island. With the island sitting lower, you lose even more real estate when watching fill screen content

Huh? It used to be a bezel. That area of the screen now has more functionality than ever.

I kind of love it, but I’m constantly using the music controls/Apple Remote/timer app so I’m probably the ideal use case for it.
And I don’t mind stretching videos to full screen—it’s hardly ever blocking something critical, and the fact that the videos play around it tickles my brain.

The little useless sliver above the island that only serves to highlight the empty space? I don't know if I agree that it's very functional.

I am sure you know what I meant and you're just being pedantic. But if not... The way that the dynamic island feature utilizes the entire upper portion of the screen is better than any previous implementation from Apple (even before the notch was first introduced). It's forced them to make the notifications and features at the top of the screen more useful. The sliver adds nothing, but the overall size of the cutout area when the dynamic island was introduced is a huge improvement over what they were doing before. It's just more aesthetically pleasing in day to day use than it was prior.

It's a clever way to try to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, for sure. Personally, I think they should take the extra step of removing that sliver too. All it does is highlight that there's a hole in the display.

That whole part of the display has always been usable, it's just that they are now finding a use for it.

Notch is 10x better. That but above the holepunch is absolutely pointless. You can have similar features with out the holepunch
