According to MacRumors, an anonymous source revealed that Apple is considering integrating Siri’s screen interface into the “Dynamic Island” on the new iPhone. The source has been sharing information about iOS 17. Details of the alleged new features.
Currently, invoking Siri by pressing a button or using the “Hey Siri” voice command results in an animated sphere appearing at the bottom of the screen. While the virtual assistant listens, the sphere remains overlaid on the screen, and any details related to the request appear as cards at the top or bottom of the screen, with background content dimmed.
Moving the Siri interface to Dynamic Island may keep the screen content in full view. Originally, the Siri interface would take up the entire screen whenever a user interacted with the virtual assistant, but Apple switched to a more compact interface in iOS 14, making it the default choice.
According to the anonymous source, Apple “may use the Dynamic Island version of Siri it is currently testing” and that “more” notifications will appear on the Dynamic Island interface. Apple is expected to expand the “Dynamic Island” soft and hard design to all four iPhone 15 models this year.
