Before Apple decided on the Dynamic Island and where it would be placed, it considered other options.
Before Apple introduced the iPhone 14 Pro models in 2022, there had been speculation that the notch was going to be replaced on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with dual pill and hole cutouts. We showed you an image with an accurate representation of what turned out to be the Dynamic Island in January 2022, eight months before Apple introduced the feature.
When Apple showed off the Dynamic Island during the 2022 event, the initial response of some viewing the livestream was awe and excitement. Others were not impressed. With the Dynamic Island available on all four iPhone 15 models this year, more iPhone users than ever have been experiencing the feature. While I was one of those excited by the Dynamic Island when it was unveiled, for the most part, I have been underwhelmed by it.
According to information obtained by MacRumors, before deciding on the final placement and capabilities of the Dynamic Island, Apple had some other locations and formats it was considering.
