Without a doubt, the dynamic island is one of the greatest innovations of the iPhone 14 Pro and what has been most talked about in recent times, one of the main reasons why many users have opted for it.
The iPhone notch has been repurposed on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max and has become a black pill or rectangle-shaped cutout at the top of the phone with a hole punched out of it. But this is not the only change that you will appreciate with the dynamic island of the iPhone 14 Pro.
You will be able to have many more functionalities thanks to the fact that the screen cutout has become one more component, while its space has been optimized so that you can enjoy the visual experience much more. But is it as good as you might expect? We analyze a little the best and the worst of this new functionality desired by many and left aside by others.
The best
For something is the revolution of the new high-end Apple phones this year and one of its most famous attractions, we tell you some of the best things about Dynamic Island.
The screen notch is more functional
Years ago, when Apple designed Face ID to unlock the screen of its phones more securely and quickly, it was forced to add the ‘notch’ to the screen. Thanks to that, he also achieved thinner mobiles, without sensors or a selfie camera in sight.
The notch was not functional beyond that nor could anything be done with it, now with Dynamic Island this changes as the area around the punched hole expands and contracts becoming a notification that can be viewed without having to swipe . Show notifications and animations.
It is very practical for many things, such as multitasking, to do more things without having to change the task that is being carried out.
It is very smooth and runs smoothly
Despite the fact that the information and animations are in such a small space, it works much better than one would expect. It contracts and expands without lags or jerks or freezes. This is due in part to the perfect combination of hardware and software , with a large quality OLED screen and its own processor.
Although there is still a lot to be perfected, the result is quite good at first glance.
Notifications are well differentiated
One of its attractions and that will make you interact much better with your mobile is that the animations are designed so that each notification has its own style , so you don’t confuse them and easily recognize them. In addition, they are working to refine it even more, showing the information more clearly without affecting the background content.
It is very interesting both in the applications that are used on a day-to-day basis and in the third-party apps that will work to get the most out of this new functionality.
And the worst?
Although it is a very interesting and well-known novelty, it also has its bad things, beyond the fact that it is currently limited to only certain specific models and you will not be able to use it in others.
It’s not easy to get to her
Its location is very inaccessible and many users do not expect to find it there. It is located at the top of the screen, something difficult to reach, especially if we are talking about a fairly large mobile as is the case. It is not much more comfortable or activating the Accessibility option.
It is a matter of getting used to it, but it is not the most comfortable thing in the world.
It can distract us
One of the problems that we can find right now is that it can be distracting, with the added complication that it cannot be adjusted or turned off as we would like. It is surrounded by content on all sides and this makes it more intrusive and can become a distraction in the long run.
As this is a configuration related thing, it is possible that there will be improvements to this at some point, although we do not see it for now.
Affects the front camera
One of the drawbacks that you will find is that the selfie camera of this mobile is much more stained than in other models because until now there was no need to touch it, but in each notification or animation it ends up touching around it and this can affect it . In the short term nothing would happen beyond a little dirt, but in the long run it could affect you more.
