Reply to comment by JoeSmithDiesAtTheEnd in Under-screen Face ID patent describes what could be a next-generation Dynamic Island. by SUPRVLLAN

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)

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
