Apple's "Dynamic Island" might sound a little silly, but it brings a LOT of cool new functionality to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. Here's what it does!

The dynamic island is a great example of the Apple’s hardware/software mindset. It doesn’t do a lot right now, but it does add some nice personality to the OS. Neat stuff ahead.

I did un upgrade from the 11 to the 14 pro. This display is so amazing, smooth! The design for me is impressive, very elegant i say. This feature about Dynamic Island is amazing

One of the most brilliant YouTube reviewers but often overlooked. Outstanding commentary and visuals. I don't know if I'll get the iPhone 14 pro but one thing I do. That is that Mark Spurrell will become one of the biggest YouTubers one day. Keep going Mark, we are all behind you.

I think ita a brilliant way of integrating the user experience with that camera cut out. If not, you might notice occasional just how annoying having a cut out in your screen is.
I really dont mind it being integrated for the notification animation and such but I hope there is a way to make the pixels along the thickness of the island black when you view things full screen. I'm not sure if some buttons on certain apps like games would be under that island and you won't be able to click it because of it.

Thanks for actually showing us how this new feature works and its benefits!

Let’s not forget how promising the MacBook’s Touch Bar was supposed to be.

I was a Android user for a long time. This year I switched to Apple. Generally I am content about my purchase. But honestly I miss some features on Android such as multi windows. It was handy to me in some situations to use 2 app in the same time which isn’t available in IOS.

As a font geek myself, I like the name ‘Dynamic Island’ because when you write a name with a font starts with D, pair it with Apple’s SF Pro Display, it looks gorgeous. I don’t know if it’s only me. I don’t care the name. I just care how the words look with certain font.

3:27 he’s playing LA DI DA by EVERGLOW, love to see it !

[petepeters]

So it’s basically a notification widget with a weird shape??

[littlejofsu]

Great video and cool features, I just can’t justify the small differences in features to purchase a new iPhone. Still rocking the 12. Rock on 🤙

Thanks for the video! Also loving EVERGLOW's feature here🥰

Great video, Mark. Really well done. You didn't even bug your viewers to like or subscribe, and so I'm doing both.

This stupid “dynamic island” is apple trying to put lipstick on a pig. The fact they can actually convince fools that having an ugly black dead space of useless screen is a “cool new feature” shows how stupid people are. The ONLY reason the notch and now this equally bad pill exist is because of apples idiotic obsession with facial id on their phones. Instead of abandoning Face ID and just going with a fingerprint scanner like everyone else is doing the stubbornly cling to Face ID, which is not necessary and certainly far less important than having a phone with a full screen.
I stopped upgrading at the iPhone 8 Plus because I couldn’t stand the notch. Each year I kept waiting for them to finally come out out a phone that all screen but it still hasn’t happened, because of their damn obsession with Face ID. Meanwhile Samsung and others are coming out with phones with beautiful uninterrupted screens, or screens with tiny hole punches for the front camera. It’s honestly amazing that Apple, who used to be innovators have allowed themselves to fall so far behind the rest of the industry in this regard, and are now playing sleazy circus sideshow type cons on people trying to convince them that having a big black oval for Face ID sensors permanently hogging what could be useable space on their screens is a “cool feature”, instead of a huge liability. I refuse to buy another iPhone until they get rid of it. The fact that someone would pay more to get less baffles me. I’ll go with the s23 plus this year until apple can pull its head out of its wormhole and ditch this.

You can actually change the active activity in the dynamic island you just need to swipe left or right in the middle part of the island instead of trying to swipe the secondary activity that’s shaped like a dot.

Maybe it was not possible at the time of this video but it is possible now, I use it all the time.

I got the 14 Pro through AT&T on trade in. I haven’t downloaded many apps and I’m still just impressed by this new pill cutout. Honestly my personal phone is a 13 Pro Max that I got barely a month ago. Wishing I would’ve waited knowing how amazing the 14 Pro was.

[stefaniep]

So a notification bar?
So revolutionary.

[marissal]

Mine doesn’t do anything. I just now got this phone and so far it sucks to learn about all these cool features that don’t work. Now I have to schlep to the Genius Bar

[crissjunco]

It would be interesting if you use the "Dynamic Island using dark mode on iPhone".

What I really want from apple is for you to be able to zoom in on your selfies before you take a selfie. Yeah yeah we got magnifier but what good is that
