iPhone 14 first look, and hands-on with the dynamic island AKA The Pill!

The smoothness of the animations is what makes the Dynamic Island so appealing. They really nailed it.

Honestly the Dynamic Island took me by complete surprise. Ended up being one of my favorite features announced in the event

Satellite is HUGE for me, I spend a ton of time hiking/snowboarding/mountain biking. Having this feature is a massive peace of mine for me

As an android user, and currently a fold 4 user who doesn't really have to worry about notches or cut outs, I think that "dynamic island" is pretty neat. Definitely innovative thinking on apples part

[vinayakofficial]

I think the older iPhones are just a great deal now. The upgrades on the new ones aren’t that groundbreaking but the prices on the old ones present great value.

Dynamic island is clearly the most apple thing they could do, it's very good, I thought that it was a simple pill, but in fact there was a little part of it which was just black, so the green led for camera use could be there. Genius. They transformed an annoying notch to a useful taskbar.

I saw all the renders with a new cut out. I wasn’t sure about it or convinced. Saw it was called a Dynamic Island I was curious. Now i’m really hooked on it. I think it’s nice that it’s interactive and not just a cut out. They really did think that through

[jackery_guitar]

So, my theory is that the pill camera over however many years will end up as under display cameras, or they may make the pill smaller for screen to body ratio and become too small for dynamic island (lol) to function. But I think this maybe be too good a feature to lose in future models so - they have a larger, touch bar like design combined with dynamic island UI and features at the bottom of the screen and make the screen slightly taller 6.8-6.9 inch.
Lets see how that ages

edit: will we all not get sick of reaching to the top of
the screen as well after a while?

The pricing on the iPhones actually has changed drastically in many countries in Europe with them all costing approximately 200€ more than the same model last year at its launch.

How the mood in the room changes in the room as the sun sets is a really nice effect.

I loved the v10 with that double screen which led me survive an entire year during 2016 in college without a laptop. The main screen was enormous, and as lg’s QSlide apps feature can draw applets over other apps like a window, it made the phone very dependable for serious work, especially things like calculator. It was my only device during my first year at college - all assignments, done all video editing, made reports, PPTs, designs with just that phone as I didn’t have a laptop. It was a bummer when they discontinued it after v20, I now have an iPhone 13 but it’s nowhere near how v10 used to be in fluid multitasking on a mobile device. The second screen used to fluidly sort and show the most important recent apps/ functions I needed so that I can switch back and forth, more like a companion, and if needed there was always QSlide apps to do some quick jotting or calculation without getting out of the current screen (online tutorial, editing a spreadsheet etc.). It was not like the gimmicky ‘smart’ features of today - it was actually useful during serious work!
I still miss the sense of ‘companionship’ which those fluid features used to give me to get my work done in the v10.

Did i see Rajeev Makhni near about 2:30 mins

[ScottSmithDev]

The fact that the FaceID animation will grow out of the Dynamic Island — and thus draw your eyes to where the camera actually is — just feels so nice! Surprise and delight. They nailed the UI/UX on this!

[twinerplaysfiresquad]

i love it that now the knotxh turned to a island because now the knotch didn’t do that much now dynamic does more, they really nailed it this time.

[Al-oklj]

Ugh. It’s still an eyesore on the screen. I’ll still rock the 8+ till technology advances so much that we won’t need a notch/island/pinhole/etc.

2:25 Shoutout to Rajiv Makhni the OG Indian tech expert

So I’ve had my iPhone 7 for like 5 years now lol. (Surprisingly no scratches or cracks!) I’ve decided to finally upgrade this month. Originally, I was going to get the 13, but when I saw the dynamic island I decided to go with the iPhone 14 pro. I’m so excited! Everyone keeps saying that there aren’t major differences between the 13 & 14, but when you have an iPhone 7 that doesn’t even have portrait mode this is a huge upgrade 😂

Hello Marques,

I was just about to preorder an iPhone 14 pro, but I compared it also to the 13 pro. And I think I noticed something that no one talked about yet.

The bottom edge of the dynamic Island is a view mm lower than the Classic notch…
This means, that this notch will overlay on many many 18:9 videos, as you have it on your channel.

What are your thoughts about this? I have an XR right now and the old notch perfectly fits 18:9 videos, so the notch does not overlay most of the videos.

[d.a.k.s.h]

Dynamic island isn’t just aesthetic, its a small notifier.

[shubhamkaushik]

The windows wallpaper on his macbook pro and the way the folders are lined up according to the light rays❤️
the detailing in his videos is too good
