Despite the aesthetic fatigue of the iPhone 14 launch, Apple’s new pill-shaped aperture and “Dynamic Island” interactive design on the iPhone 14 “Pro” lineup is still a big hit with consumers. But Apple’s new pill-shaped opening and “Dynamic Island” interactive design on the iPhone 14 “Pro” lineup are still a hit with consumers.

The pill-shaped cutout at the top of the iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max models is said to transform into an interactive area for notification alerts and activity display in iOS 16.
In this week’s video review, Marques Brownlee also devotes considerable time to discussing the “island” design.
MKBHD notes that the “Island” is generally quite positive. Not only are the animations quite smooth, but there are some unexpected surprises.
