Apple's Dynamic Island feature, which is now only accessible on iPhone 14 Pro models, is expected to be expanded to other iPhone models next year. Dynamic Island is a software feature that not only conceals Apple's new pill and hole TrueDepth camera system, but is also perfectly integrated into UI components, resulting in a novel method of presenting and engaging with notifications and status indications. According to an expert, the company's ProMotion displays, which have a 120Hz refresh rate, will be confined to the Pro versions.
According to display industry expert Ross Young, Apple is anticipated to make the newly announced Dynamic Island available across iPhone 15 models next year, which implies it may not be confined to the Pro versions as the recently debuted iPhone 14 series. While the Dynamic Island is likely to be accessible on all iPhone 15 models, Apple's 120Hz ProMotion screens will remain exclusive to the Pro versions, according to Ross.
According to the analyst, the 120Hz LTPO panels seen in Apple's iPhone 14 Pro models will be limited to next year's Pro models because Apple's current display supplier, BOE, cannot handle manufacturing such displays while meeting the needs of the tech giant. According to the display researcher, Apple's ProMotion screens might be accessible on less priced iPhone models by 2024.
The inclusion of Apple's Dynamic Island on low-cost iPhone devices is expected to increase developer interest in the feature. However, this may persuade some buyers to postpone their purchases of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus this year because both of these new iPhone models lack a feature that may ultimately become the usual method of interacting with an iPhone.
This year, Apple has established another distinction between its normal iPhone and iPhone Pro models by using last year's A15 Bionic CPU (with a 5-core GPU) rather than its newest A16 Bionic SoC, which is now limited to its Pro versions. Even the new Apple Watch SE 2nd Generation has been upgraded to the new SiP found in the current Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra models, making the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus appear to be the only new items revealed at Apple's recent event that have an earlier generation processor.
