Looking at Apple remove the esim, I'm convinced they'd get rid of the charging port altogether instead of giving us a USB type C. The dynamic island is cool through.
yep they're not going USB C lol, portless I bet. But thank god I live in Canada, esim isn't ready yet.
Portless is gonna suck
I guess it could be them trying to "slap" Europe because of the usb c situation.
But hiw will they deal with the huge file size transfers specially with their raw video thing that lets you record everything to edit however you like later?
Idk. I think esim is further along than portless. I’ve been going esim since the Xs Max.
If they don’t go usbc then it’ll just be lightning for all their accessories. I’d go usbc first and switch all my accessories to it then go portless.
I have esim on my main carrier but swap second sims when I travel or need to test another line
My main issue with the island is reachability. UIs have been moving towards having things at the bottom of the screen for easy thumb access. The island is the top most thing of the phone. Interacting with it is going to be a bit of a hassle for me and my hands. I’m more comfortable using my second hand to get the control center, for example. This may not be an issue for others, but definitely need to try it myself to decide
I agree, will it swipe down with reachability? 🤷🏽 honestly a lot of stuff is prioritized to be top down still but with the change in safari I hope the make it system wide. I'm def gonna go from the pro max to the regular pro for that specific reason
True, even apple themselves with notifications in iOS 16
The pro 6.1 is good size
This
it's not a notification hub, its basically just there to tell you information like if you're playing a song, if a Bluetooth device has connected, if your phone is charging, FaceId, or if you have an active timer. Notifications will still be at the bottom of the screen in ios16.
Loved it too. I think I would’ve just called it “Top Notch”, since their intention was to own the notch and not shy away from it. As they said, it’s a feature and not a bug.
It's a pill shaped cutout. There is no longer a notch. How can you name something top notch when the notch is what they replaced? Lol
Or Touch Bar.
@@PPLRRN it can’t be touched
@@hasankazmi9832 a notch and a cutout sound pretty damn similar to me lmao
sick name tbf
They took a simple pill shape camera cut out and made it interesting. I dig it. 👏🏾
Until you leave smudges all over the camera and ruin your photos
@@alan.l7 Android users be using this as an excuse, smuges really dont effect cameras even on older iphone models I have always touched the front camera. It never ruins the camera.
@@-_--th8vp thats a lie. I have both an iPhone and z fold 3 and the iPhones cameras definitely get affected by smudges and fingerprints.
@@nicow6728 Stop taking photos
Still look ugly
I like how creative the Dynamic Island is. It works within technical limitations.
I cant wait for the Dynamic Archipelago on the iPhone 15.
@@kay94 RIP LG
@@kay94 I'm probably gonna get an iPhone 14 pro and bc of reach I'll likely get the 6.1 inch version.
@@kay94 Also if we're being fair the Lucky Goldstar didn't have a "dynamic" touch bar. The ingenious of this isn't just filling the space it's seemless incorporating it into the overall experience. LGs touch bar always felt very separate and detached from what you were doing on the main screen. It was mostly a static feature and the dynamic part is what really makes this next level.
@@kay94 Reviewers are biased. They criticized the Lumia 1020 for its camera bump. Now they are okay with bumps on the Samsungs and iPhones.
I think the name is fine. Honestly I also laughed at it at first but after seeing all those animations I was fully convinced.
I find the pill more noticeable than the notch. It's large enough that it's just highlighted by the screen above it, but also a non-issue realistically.
Then get the non pro
Idk why I feel the need to watch every video on the 14 but here I am
Hahaha same
O hey i watch your videos
Hopefully Apple will allow apps to customize the DI visualization so that its not just a black hole inside an app.
They did
I don't think so
They did. They said developers can develop for it. I guarantee it’s going to be a button for games
The dynami island is a weird name but it is cool. It will be interesting to see how functional it is with one handed use especially on the max. I actually thought they called it the dynamic eyelid at first which is equally as weird or even more so.
Man the outro music always cheer me up🔥 Kudos to the team, keep up the great work ❤️
When I saw the Dynamic Island, the first thing I thought about was the LG V10 with that second display above the main display. I'm not an iPhone fan, but they really do things very well and this is one of them.
It was really great in V20 but I guess when Apple do the same thing, it's an innovative feature. LOL.
LG V20 you mean
I really like dynamic island in that it takes a limitation and turns it into a feature. But I'm not sure how other companies would copy it since the iPhone is the only phone (afaik) that has a giant cutout in the middle of the screen. How (and why) would a phone with a small punch hole introduce such feature? I'm ok with the punch hole on my phone, but I sure don't want it any bigger than it is now.
You don't necessarily need to make a bigger cutout to do some dynamic island type thing on an Android phone. I guess just make a toggleable option to have an island around the existing cutout.
Imagine a full screen no cutout with dynamic island and when you’re full screen for games or video you get your 100% full display. This is here to stay
@@mellywonka_ I don't know... On Android you have that notification bar up top that shows you something is going on or something requires your attention. It doesn't need to cut into the screen. And you can swipe down easily for more details/info. iOS has neither of those things, and I like it that Apple found a way to bridge that gap while using something that many consider a flaw. I see it as a win for iOS, but if anyone on Android copies it (and we know some will) it will be copying for the sake of copying.
@@ismaeltorres3219 literally doesn't need to be a thing as the hole punch is small and in the corner of the display
I used an esim for a year and it was great, more secure etc. I moved to another phone that didn't have an esim and it was totally straightforward. The network provider just sent me a sim card.
I prefer the flexibility and security of an esim (and less waiting for a physical sim, you can do it before going abroad and have more than one number, use an additional number temporarily eg in poor reception areas and its obviously less waste for the environment in materials and distribution). I'd like esim on all my devices-phones, smartwatches, tablets - and the ability to switch as and when I wanted.
Wait till you travel to a country that does not support esim lol
@@dhruvk5918 jokes on you, I’m too poor to travel outside the country 😎
@mgs1398 That’s the problem. esim works well in the US or wherever it is already in place, but for people who travel to less advanced countries it can be an issue
@@stephenk5577 yes, I’m aware, I was just making a joke. For people that consistently travel this will be an issue, but I’m not convinced this is a large enough market to be a priority for apple. It’s a ver niche thing, probably moreso than the people who actually bought and liked the iPhone mini. Also, since it’s apple, I’m pretty sure now that they’re going this route, other phone manufacturers will follow suit and the industry will follow as well. We saw this happen with the headphonejack. They didn’t NEED to remove it and yet soon after removing it pretty much the whole industry followed and now we don’t really think about it. Same will most likely happen with e-sim compatibility amongst most phone carriers (which is already the case in the US).
Not straightforward if you travel overseas
One Qn: are the Airpod Max Good for podcast and editing for content creator? bless for such amazing description.
Preordered my 14 pro today. I’m upgrading from an XR & I waited for them to do something with the notch so now is my time!
Apple needs to make a documentary about the brainstorming and how they came with the idea of that dynamic island!
Yeah!! That’d be interesting to see. Whoever came up with this idea needs a reward
@@Amalokch they do, it's called a salary the average person can't imagine
Do you know that android had it before?
The idea is Samsung, they've had that feature for a decade... The name is theirs though 😂
Android
I love the dynamic island! I’ll use this a lot for things like timers when I’m busy and just want to glance at the phone to see how much I have left (hello always on). That and the 48 MP wide and better low-light made me upgrade
The coverscreen on the Z flip3/4 is basically the same, for when your phone is closed
@@_Ace._ basically your completely right lol
Actually apple is trying to make night more automatic where if it is dark enough it will extend the shutter speed. As I said there is a manual control in the camera settings. You have to tap on the arrow or upside down caret symbol at the top middle of the camera app.
I wish there was still a physical sim option. I attempted to activate esim on my S22 Ultra when it came out and T-Mobile said they had a temporary pause on the system. They sent me a physical card. Had a physical sim not been an option I wouldn't be able to use my new phone.
The same problem could have happened with a physical SIM card. The carrier still has to process this. However your point is valid in terms of having options.
I think that the Dynamic Island is way better than the notch, but it is still a huge black space on your screen when you compare it with the little holes that other phones have. Would be cool to have an animation for the notifications to expand from that little hole, but still it wouldn't be an "island"
If I can use the dynamic island to track the score in NBA games while I do other things on my phone it’s got me hooked
I’ve been waiting for this phone for a very long time as I’ve been using my barely functioning iPhone XS for a while now. I was pretty disappointed with the 14 / 14 Pro (since I’m not much of a photographer) so I was thinking about just getting a 13. Then I saw Dynamic Island and it convinced me immediately 👌🏼
The problem with pill is that it’s on top of screen, it’s two hands operation. how you click the pill with one finger specially if you have short fingers. Top area is unreachable area.
Esim question, what happens if you travel a lot and don’t want to cough up A LOT of money to carriers roaming fees?
Also, what if the country you fly to isn’t “esim ready”
Apple just made its flagship phone in the US esim only. The writing is on the wall. That means every carrier in the world is scrambling to support esim before Apple makes their world wide phones esim only. It might happen with the iphone 15 next year.
4:30 a few weeks ago we were suck in Iceland with a busted car and no cell signal
If a massive camping truck full of Norwegians didn't happen upon us, we'd be in trouble
This feature would've been very useful, they should prioritize rolling it out in empty areas like Iceland
The island is similar to the minimal pop up notifications on Android, the problem is tho intuitively your going to tap it to get more info, but by doing so you're going to get your fingerprint over the camera lens
I'm surprised the slower main camera wasn't a talking point so far. The iPhone 13 pro has an f 1.5 main camera and the 14 pro now has an f 1.78. I can imagine they get great benefit from the pixel binning in terms of low light noise, but wonder how well it will hold up with the slower lens. Can't wait for comparisons!
It may just be me but how is dynamic island any different than the pop up animations you get on Android? For example, opening your ear buds case or getting a message of some type. Also kinda gives me LG V10 vibes (from waaay back) when they had that "second" screen with an expandable notification tray at the top right. Just sayin...
My only issue with the dynamic island is getting fingerprints all over over the camera
Random but - Are those headphones they’re wearing in transparency mode or not?
I ask b/c usually the voice from the studio mic feeds directly in the headphones and I was curious if the AirPods max were designed for that use case. (I assume yes, but j/c.)
I know I will love the updated cameras. I wonder when this iPhone 14 pro will be use as the SE. 😅
The dynamic island is one of the coolest features that I've seen on the iPhone. The name sucks but I can see how this feature will be so handy. I won't be switching but I love this idea.
What's wrong with the name? Yall are so dramatic. I think dynamic island sounds good enough but more importantly it describes EXACTLY what it is.
wait till you watch a movie and you just have a black island there... not so cool
@@OddGentleman As opposed to a huge notch like on every other iphone, so yeah.
It should be called "Top Notch" or "iBar" - or even "iLand"
@@Noadvantage246 exactly… not only is IS’NT a bad name… it’s describes very well what it is and it sounds original, imaginative and (IMO) sci-if. I love it as much as it’s function.
And how would this Dynamic Island work if you used the phone in landscape mode? It seems to be more a distraction from the huge cutout rather than anything like a consistent UI design! Oh, and do not forget: this is the first UI design which invites the user to touch the camera lens as often as possible.
Doesn't, it very literally doesn't accomplish the reason for a cutout, to be as unnoticeable as possible for content consumption, this is almost pixel 3 XL levels of bad in reality
The cutout will also turn landscape
@@hid4 A kind of fluid display plus fluid Face ID hardware🤣
As the iPhone 14 Pro has a 48 megapixel sensor, do you think support for 8K video will be added to a later software update, or is Apple keeping it for the iPhone 15 Pro?
I wish all of the notifications came in that way with the island lol. That would be cool
What does everyone think screen protectors for the iPhone 14 pro will look like?
I bought one for my 14 pro max and it's the same as the 13 pro where it just cuts out for the speaker and covers the whole screen.
@@KFWinterblue what do you mean it cuts out for the speaker? I was curious and found on Apple’s website that it has no cut outs and looks real clean!
@@chazamanaz8903 there'll probably be a small slit for the earpiece only is what he means.
@@denzelatu4437 yeah I get it, but it still looks better than the notch
Bro, low-key thought Marques had really pale white legs for a second.
Favorite part of Dynamic Island now that it’s been out forever is still being able to switch between maps and Spotify seamlessly while driving
Had all Samsung devices last one I owned was the s21 ultra. Preordered my 14 pm lot happier with the iPhone currently using the 12 PM
I hope android copies dynamic island.
Maybe like swipe down from the middle portion of the status bar to bring a menu that displays whatever the dynamic island shows in iOS. Swipe down from left or right edge of the status bar to bring down the usual notification centre/control centre.
Will definitely be a great featire.
Doesn't the notification bar on android already show everything DI shows?
@@parisaf6 literally enough real estate to display what's running
Already here since 2017 lol
All the esim stuff seems like a natural evolution of the technology. I don’t intend to be an Apple apologist, but as someone who rarely (if ever) switches sims other than when upgrading, I’m not sure how this changes anything negatively. One less water ingress area to worry about, more internal space nice goodies, and one less clunky physical solution to a problem that can be solved digitally.
Exactly, these are all cheap shots at Apple but it’s 2022, a physical SIM is just a freakin’ identifier string for whom the caller is, it’s nothing special.
Carriers can charge an “upgrade fee” for switching an esim to a different device. With a physical sim you just swap and go
Switching back to iPhone for the first time since the iPhone 6 which came out like 8 years ago lol it seems like things have gotten better since then when I had to replace the charging port twice
Dynamic island is fun for first 2 days..
After a week its just a annoying notification while we r actually doing something in phone like watching or playing game or typing......
13:38 They said that night photos are 2x better, because in their night mode takes half the time to capture the same amount of light.
Considering MKBHD is a camera lover, I am surprised he is so welcoming of this feature. The smudges you will constantly have to clean of the front facing camera will become a nuisance. No thanks.
The camera is anyways smudged in normal use either by sweat or fingerprints, it’s not a big issue
maybe because android phones have shown for the past 4 years that this isn't a real problem?
The Apple legal team trademarked "Dynamic Island" in Jamaica. Very clever considering no leakers can find that registration unless they travel there.
With the dynamic island the screen will be much more harder to replace via third party shops. They thought they can curb it with locking TrueTone and FID to the screen.
The big thing that stops me from thinking that the dynamic island is cool is that you're touching so close to the selfie camera, wouldn't that mess up the camera and make it blurry from you possibly touching it? I know it's not directly on the camera but it's close I could see many people using the island and making the camera blurry
very valid point
OMG like you never had Android or iOS says for a clearer picture clean the lense. 🙄
Wipe it with ur t shirt
Only the right side houses the camera. And we’ve been swiping down to access Notification Center for years. It’s a non-issue.
I already put fingerprints over my camera when I go to scroll down to see my notifications, don’t think taking a vacation to dynamic island will be that different
I "low key" love this podcast.
i need a skipp and play/pause button on the dynamic island when im hearing music
It's just a UI pop up with some animations lol. The idea of pitching it as a major feature shows how dry the well has run.
The Dynamic island is the most innovative/Apple thing Apple has done in a while. I love it and want other companies to copy it but man not having space zoom/back button is killing me.
Back button is unneeded thanks to swipe back which works system wide
There are probably already features very similar to it on android. This is not the kind of thing that apple made first.
Most innovative!? 😂😂 Samsung have screens that literally fold..
That dynamic island looks just like "pop up" notifications I have a cheap ass one plus nord and a s21 ultra n notifications are just like that. this is old. I thought I was gonna pre order a 14 pro but now idk. I don't think I can do it knowing how far behind they are compared to almost every other phones features smh
@@kev_45 I’ll just get a flip phone then?!
I've always been a hardcore android fan, but it's hard to ignore Apple's improvement the last 2-3 years. When iPhone get USB C I think I'm sold
Cool i have been eating the same design for 5 years. I just switched to the galaxy fold 4
same! Ever since the s8 came out I think android kept getting better and better and apple was kinda going down hill but they've really started to fix all the things I didn't like before. Still not a fan of macOS tho, which sucks because the chips are amazing.
@@majestic2569 i almost made the same change, i held off and waited for this event and i’m very happy i did. that iphone 14 pro camera system for my job is going to be the absolute best choice
Apple ain't changing to USBC. For every lightning charger, apple gets a cut, and before the EU rule that all phones must use a USBC connector is implemented, apple is probably gonna go fully wireless, switching to exclusively MagSafe.
@@kepagu this just makes no sense when you think about it for a second. why would they do this? cause now every single massage accessory they've been overcharging is useless. it makes much more money keeping the port.
But why would I want to drag my finger all the way across to the top just to access controls . I mean we are so used to accessing them at the bottom .
Will the inactive pixels inside the pill cutout be utilized when we’re watching videos or playing games in landscape?
Andrew, please stop bashing on we older people. We Boomers are not all morons. Some of us do know how to turn the flash off. Thanks.
😆
😂😂😂 noted
No promises!
The millennial generation has been dumped on for years by the generation above us, we gotta give it back sometimes 😁
But I appreciate that you don't use the flash!
It might have clever software, but the dynamic island is far worse for consuming media content. It's actually lower on the screen so now you have a big pill shaped blob on your videos /games
You dont even notice it after 5 mins of having the phone
I'm sure you'll be able to disable this feature but yes the "pill" shape will take getting used too just like the notch did
The phone was actually made slightly taller so the bottom of the cutout is roughly in the same spot as the bottom of the old notch. It’s also taking up less surface area so it is objectively better for consuming content.
You’ll get used to it. Your brain can fill in the missing pixels very cleverly and you won’t notice it really.
@@DiscoverJoe you keep telling yourself that 😂
I get an Apples walled garden ecosystem and waterproofing for removing the sim card
I get that people switching from phones regularly will have a hard time
But the average user will be putting in a sim card once and never removing it again.
Maybe apple could have an option to buy with a sim card or esim
I travel a lot and not sure how esim will span out as I know alot of other countries are still not using esim yet.
To take away the sim is a really stupid move. For those who travel internationally and need several sims. I honestly won’t think about upgrading. Many countries in the Middle East and Europe don’t support eSIM yet. This will probably make me switch to a different eco system once my phone dies especially that Apple lacked any innovation since iPhone 12 Pro.
Just buy one international/ from another country. Outright full price though 😢 unfortunately
U are right. It will affect international travelers who rely on multiple Sims swapping
Great upgrade from the xs!
I’m on XR but might just get 13pro max which are practically the same for a lot less
Still on the X and have just started “feeling“ the age of my phone. 14 Pro maybe 🤔
All I want to know is…how do you have cables plugged in to what appear to be AirPods Max? They don’t have a 3.5 jack, right?
The video stabilisation is the exact same as what was released with the Pixel 5
Interestingly enough I personally think that's a great name for what it is and it very well describes what it does, I really do think it's one of their best names they ever came up with for their features, I mean... the damn thing is dynamic and it does look like an island, what's not to like about it?
Agreed!!!!
its a cute name too
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Thank you 🙏
Does always tapping on the island make the front camera blurry when you want to use it?
I want samsung to make an ad about that satelite connectivity where in someone in an emergency tries to connect but couldnt because it expired lol😅
Dynamic island is what android notification shade has been doing for years. Hard to believe that we had to wait this long to be able to switch songs, etc in Spotify without dragging the notification shade all the way down
What are you even talking about? Android has to pull down the entire notification shade. I use Android and before Android 11, media controls was just a notification in the notification shade. Apple has always had media controls in the control center. Even now Android still has media controls in the notification shade, but it's pinned to the top.
it's not at all? you don't have to drag it down all the way, but that's not because it is like dynamic island that's just because it's got two stages. which is still one swipe for both OS's
@@kepagu Ah can't you also just have them as floating widgets?
@@yehheapsmadaybut what do you mean by floating widgets? There are probably widgets for media players that you can have on your home screen. right now, the integrated media controls are shown above notifications in the notification shade.
Charging for access to emergency services communications sounds exactly like Apple
well emergency services communication is paid for tax its always paid for on your bill. so the way there doing it is probably costing them more so of course this would cost as well
@@theclassicgamer20 missing the point
Satellite phones and data plans to use the sat phones also cost money dude.
If iPhone 14 and 14 plus can have 4K cinematic mode by using the same A15 chip as in iPhone 13 line up, I Don’t see why Apple can upgrade the camera software in all iPhone 13 line up with the same 4K 24 fps cinematic mode.
Note: I'm not sure though if the physical camera system in both 13 and 14 are the same or not.
Can you touch the dynamic island or can you only touch the animations that show up. Is the dynamic island touchable?
dont think i'd use Dynamic Island considering it wont be making the usability single handed. i barely touch the top of the screen while holding it in one hand. even if it were available to reachability feature (somehow) it would still make it two or more clicks, defying the purpose of easy access. also if the screen itself can stay on maybe you dont really need to access top of the screen to interact with apps. its one of those touch bar moments for iPhone which will cease to exist in the next two to three generations of the iPhone
Its really not that bad a name. It’s quirky and fun, and i think that’s fine.
I don’t get the hate for the name, I think is the best name it could have.
Is there Dual Esim options on 14pro and what if u drop down the screen to reach the dynamic island on Max phones !!!!!!
I love how he says (hit the button)
I completely agree that it is innovative and really cool, but i really really hate how it "moves". It gives me anxiety and makes me squeamish for some reason.
Whaat? Imo the transitions and animations are one of the coolest parts, looks so fluid and smooth
@@kepagu and can be totally done without the ugly hole. Its a software thing.
We’re so in lack of innovation that we find dynamic island a huge one.
I think it's only the apple world, cuz androids have foldable phones
We've already achieved like 95% of the things that people dreamed of doing with their phones 30 years ago. Internet browsing, video chat, console-level gaming, high quality cameras, etc. The extraordinary has become ordinary and we're in that phase where nothing short of sci-fi will be considered "innovation".
8:08 "Static peninsula", looooool XD
Would love to see a Camera Conspiracies “board meeting” on the naming of Dynamic Island..would be a classic!🤪
The issue I have with the pill notch is that I am now forced to focus on the aspect of the iphone I dislike the least: a big black hole/space that disrupts my content.
Tech community is a joke, the $799 iPhone 14 has a 60hz screen, not a single mention by anyone.
Pixel 6a $450 was criticized for having a 60hz screen, every tech tuber mentioned this.
Don't be fooled guys
Thank u. I'm convinced mkbhd is really an apple sheep. He gives all android devices a harsh criticism even in the face of apparent innovation. But he willfully ignores such criticism when it comes to apple. Very biased guy right here
The difference between a 60hz iphone and a 120 hz android phone is much less than the difference between a 60hz android and another 60hz android.
@@novadon4729 he's paid by Apple. He also gets all their shit for free.
Are the 14 and 14 plus better than 13 pro and 13 pro max?
I feel like both parties are right about the “notch” being pill/ cut out and just being a pill 💊 if u look at 9:49 u can see it in the lighting 😅
If iPhone 14 is eSIM only, isn't that gonna limit your travel choices 🤔?!
Not all countries have cellular networks to support it.
Its going to suck when i travel because many small providers dont support esim and its easier to get a physical sim to dump into a phone
It definnetly will limit how many countries you can travel to. However there are over 60 countries around the world that do have it. So the chance of you not getting support for it is small yet possible.
Right now they are launching eSIM version in just USA
This maybe true now but iPhone being one of the most popular handsets in the WORLD will force them to change
Definitely a big thing holding me back from getting it. I guess you can always keep an older phone for overseas traveling but yea really annoying.
I simply can’t see apple being able to charge for emergency satellite connection. One story of a person dying holding a iPhone 14 in there hand that was capable of contacting emergency services but the user happened to be opted out will be such a bad image.
I agree. Either make the feature free or don't do it. Charging a subscription fee for safety features isn't a good look.
That's like charging a subscription for 911 service lmao
I think they should use the iPhone mini body and materials next time they update the SE in a few years.
What about notch in Mackbooks series . It should be name static island now ?
As much as I love this channel, being so obsessed with the dynamic island just really feels like they're drinking the Kool aid
Like, Apple released the most boring updates imaginable and added a feature that extends the notch. Stop pretending like this is anything to celebrate
Exactly. People losing their minds over some childish animations 😂
Thank you, I've been looking for someone with the same opinion in the comments, this section is filled with identical responses, they all hate the name but find the feature cool.
I just didn't get the amazement everyone else here feels, maybe they base their opinion solely on the TH-camr's opinion or 5 new animations is enough for them to spend $1000 on a phone released in 2019.
@@MrRandomguyTom For real.... Just an animation, that's to show you how easily blown away iPhone users can be
@@carlosmata2590 because...why would they? Manufacturers are trying to bring controls down, to be easily reached with one hand. Apple is doing the opposite. It's dumb, not creative.

Dynamic island, amongst the Always-on-display made me finally switch to Apple. Saw the presentation and thought : damn you want this 😄
That always on display is trash they dim out the screen

@@madaxe yeah, but you can still do what apple is doing. honestly tho I like Apples approach better. cause it actually looks usable. I turned my aod off, because it was just annoying
the dynamic island looks cool... but i think its a bit too thin and being on the top of the phone its going to be hard to press... and your going to get a ton of fingerprints on your camera...
And what about the short scene after the credits, any thought on that? It looked like AR/VR spoiler to me
In the not so distant future. I wonder if Macs will have this dynamic island feature as well.
True! They are probably saving it for the mac pro or something
@@Ryan-tn4gk Wouldn't make sense on a desktop computer where your screen can be any kind, notched or not. But on a laptop, that could be interesting.
You call a dynamic pill hole innovation 😂😂😂I can easily change music on my Android phone and multitask way better than on an Iphone. Apple just sees most people as stupid and will buy into their 'upgrade'.
I use android and IOS and IOS is easier to change. They got things sorted with the audio widget outside the lock screen and it's position and the option for the audio widget inside the lock screen. Though these days I use earbuds for play pause etc
I don't like pill cut outs because they remove part of the screen, and this just makes it look like the punch out is just bigger, it's like even worse for me.
Another thing I don't like is that it hides icons that are usually always there like Wifi signal strength etc. like I know you don't need them there at all times, but the fact that they get rid of them for something just decorative is just annoying. I never need album art, I never need waveform except in the app itself either.
I don't like always on display either, I thought the whole point was to make most pixels turn off to only turn them on for a clock or something, but it's just dimmed there, so it's also distracting.
Since we have the dynamic island for the new 14’s can we still have an active window while we do other tasks? I have a 12 pro max and I can watch HBO max and watch it in one open window while I do other task in the main window. Any one know if it will make a difference on the new 14’s ? ( waiting for mine to come in lol)
The UI build around the cutout is good design. But just think about this. No other company made this big of a pill shape notch before. Current ones are circular smaller cutouts only. And there is not enough room to build a UI around it. For last 3 years we have no big notch in smartphones other than Apple. So my point is, at this day and age, what apple done with the big pill shape cutout and design interaction around it, is not so agile and easily forgettable. My most concern will be that cutout coming down the screen while watching video. I'm pretty sure that people will be watching videos more than looking at the design build around that cutout. It's clear distraction. Previous gen notch are much better than this and not taking much of a screen area.
Yes!! Agreed
I really don't know why everyone is against the name of the "Dynamic Island" I think its a beautiful and intelligent name for it. I don't know if people are thinking of an island in the ocean, because I'm thinking about an island in a kitchen
Well I still prefer the “static peninsula.” 🤣🤣 you really are guru.
I think "Far Out" was referring to the exploration centric features like satellite, Apple Watch ultra, and other stuff
