Apple's Dynamic Island is a key selling point of the iPhone 14 Pro, but Apple's implementation is intrusive and frustrating.
Dynamic Island. When the feature was introduced during the company’s iPhone event last month, I was excited. It looked incredible. It looked sleek. It appeared, at a glance, to be the quintessential Apple feature. Some even heralded it as a triumph of, the culmination of Apple’s obsession with controlling both its hardware and software. But as I’ve used the Dynamic Island more and more, I’ve found it to be more useful in theory than in practice.
My main gripe is that I find the Dynamic Island distracting. I wasn’t a fan of the notch on the iPhone X when Apple first introduced it. But it just took a few days for it to fade into the background. The Dynamic Island, however, isn’t designed to fade into the background. It’s designed to be at the forefront. While many people praised Apple for adding utility to the camera and Face ID cutouts, I’m still not convinced the positives outweigh the negatives.As an illustrative example, I love listening to music and podcasts on the iPhone. But doing so on the iPhone 14 Pro is, to be blunt, annoying.
Moreover, the waveforms reappear every time I switch to a different app. So if I swipe the audio waveforms off while I’m in Safari, they reappear when I hop to Messages to respond to a text. If I turn them off there, they reappear when I go back to Safari.
