I tried to see how the new 'Dynamic Island' on the 'iPhone 14 Pro' works
In the “iPhone 14 Pro” and “iPhone 14 Pro Max” released on September 16, 2022, the display has evolved into a punch-hole type, and the display area of the display has become wider than before. The TrueDepth camera packed with the in-camera and the infrared sensor used for Face ID floats at the top of the display like a floating island, but this area is used as an area for displaying various activities such as notifications, alerts, and timers. ' Dynamic Island ' is a new function that tries to eliminate waste on the display as much as possible by using it. I was curious about how Dynamic Island actually works, so I checked it out with videos and screenshots.
View activities in Dynamic Island on iPhone - Apple Support
You can see how 'Dynamic Island' works in one shot by watching the following video.
The behavior of iPhone's 'Dynamic Island' that intuitively displays notifications, alerts, activities, etc. is like this - YouTube
Try playing a podcast with the 'Podcast' app.
If you return to the home screen while playing, Dynamic Island will display a 'thumbnail' and an 'indicator' to indicate that it is playing. Long tap this part ......
You will be able to pause, rewind, fast forward, and adjust the playback position of the podcast.
A simple tap will open the app straight away.
It is like this when it is 'screen recording'.
When I tapped long, the recording time and stop button were displayed.
Such behavior was similar in the YouTube app. If you subscribe to YouTube's subscription service 'YouTube Premium', you will be able to play videos in the background, but when you try background playback ......
Similar to podcasts, thumbnails and indicators are displayed. Below, the YouTube video was played in the background while recording the screen, so the two activities were displayed separately in the form of a '!' Up to two activities were displayed on Dynamic Island.
Even in this state, the operation when tapping does not change, it is possible to open the application with a single tap and add a UI for controlling the application at the top of the display with a long tap.
In addition to this, 'Voice memo' and ...
Music
timer
phone
It was compatible with FaceTime etc.
Dynamic Island is not only displayed on the home screen, but it continues to be displayed even when other apps are open.
It will also continue to be displayed while the screens are displayed overlaid in 'Picture in Picture'.
Activities such as videos are always displayed on Dynamic Island, but some activities are not always displayed, for example, the 'charging' notification that appears when you connect a charger disappears in an instant. .
When unlocking the lock screen, an animation like opening the key was displayed on Dynamic Island.
Not all iPhone apps seem to support it, for example, iPhone's 'Message' was displayed without using Dynamic Island as shown below.
Also, using Dynamic Island, it is
I was able to play a simple 'Pong' where the Dynamic Island is certified as an obstacle. It seems that it is not possible to use the UI of Dynamic Island just by placing obstacles at the position of Dynamic Island.
As the shape of the notch has changed from the previous model, it is expected that new applications that apply the design as follows will appear.
Okay y'all, I think I found the best idea for the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro. I added a cat that lives up there like a tamagotchi and just hangs out and does cute stuff as you browse Reddit in my app (Apollo ) .pic.twitter.com/xJJlazHH4E
