The vast majority of the Apple community is excited about the main novelty of the iPhone 14 Pro, known as Dynamic Island. A small pill that replaces the notch to make way for a kind of tab that changes shape to display one content or another and, at the same time, camouflages itself with the screen, although not always…
The latest iOS 16.1 beta brought a redesign to this dynamic island that hasn’t pleased all users for an obvious reason. So you should prepare yourself for the reception of the new version, which would not take long to make an appearance.
Always present on your iPhone 14 Pro
The latest iOS 16 beta update completely ruins dark wallpapers . This is because Apple has modified the Dynamic Island to make it more visible on both the iPhone 14 Pro model and the iPhone 14 Pro Max, that is, the two phones that boast this quality.
The images show how when you set a dark wallpaper or select the corresponding Dark Mode, the Dynamic Island has a grayish border around it . This does not happen when the background is light, as the outline of the pill will not appear as it is clearly visible.
This border will instantly disappear when the iPhone is locked or when the Dynamic Island is not in use. On the other hand, if you are using the music player or an app compatible with the system, that gray outline will reappear, which is somewhat annoying.
This is not a novelty at all, since in the iOS 16.0.2 version of the operating system there was a blurred border surrounding the Dynamic Island . An edge that, with iOS 16.1, has become much more significant. The reason why Apple has decided to apply this change is completely unknown and is being a nuisance to all those who had a dark background to hide the pill and that it was not visible on the iPhone 14 Pro.
Other iOS 16.1 changes
This is just one of the many changes brought by the iOS 16.1 update , which aims to improve the health of your iPhone considerably through multiple options. Here is a review of everything this new version offers for the iPhone 14 Pro and all compatible models:
- Battery Percentage for All – This version of iOS adds the option to view the percentage in the status bar on models that weren’t supported yet (iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 13 mini).
- Live Activities – The Dynamic Island API is open so that third-party developers can take full advantage of its capabilities and display live activities.
- Goodbye Wallet app – Now you can remove the Wallet app entirely.
- New design for screenshots with more options.
These are the most important news from Apple with iOS 16.1 for iPhones eligible for the update. So you can start preparing yourself for these promised changes that will worsen the Dynamic Island with an unnecessary border.
