In today’s news, some users on the social media platform have released real iPhone 14 Pro photos. In the strong light environment, we can clearly see that the iPhone 14 Pro screen is a “pill + hole” design, commonly known as the “exclamation point screen”. There is also a display area between the “pill” and “hole”, where the light sensor is hidden.
The only thing is that Apple has “blacked out” the middle area between the “pill” and the “hole” by way of software, giving the overall opening a “long pill” shape, which gives the illusion that the opening is one.
In response to the “pill” design, Apple has developed the Lingering Island feature, where various information can be displayed, such as when taking a taxi, the Lingering Island will show that the online taxi has a few minutes to reach.
Overall, the island is a UI interaction designed by Apple to make up for the shortcomings of the pill screen, and because this interaction design cleverly avoids the shortcomings of the pill screen, many users praise Apple for this design.
