However, according to the tracking data of analysts, in the last week, the overall delivery time of the iPhone 14 Pro series has not improved significantly, but the delivery time in the domestic market has shortened significantly.

The analyst’s tracking report shows that in the 14th week after the release of the iPhone 14, in terms of global average conditions, the delivery time of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus online pre-orders is still 3 days. Delivery time is reduced from 29 days to 27 days.

Specific to the main market, in the US market, the delivery time of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus has dropped from 4 days in the previous week to 3 days, while the delivery time of the Pro series has remained at 25 days, which has not improved from the previous week; In the domestic market, the delivery time of the iPhone 14 Pro series has dropped to 32 days, which is a significant improvement from 39 days in the previous week; in the German market, the delivery time of the Pro series remains at 25 days; to 26 days, slightly shorter than the previous week’s 27 days.

As the iPhone 14 Pro series still faces challenges in terms of production capacity and the improvement in delivery time is not obvious, analysts also expect that this may lead to a weaker first quarter of Apple’s 2023 fiscal year ending at the end of December, but it will push up the next quarter. revenue.

The high-end iPhones were previously assembled exclusively by Hon Hai, and Pegatron could only share orders for entry-level models and some special models. However, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously stated that Apple is discussing with Pegatron and Luxshare Precision the possibility of converting the iPhone 14/14 Plus production line to produce the iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max.

Regarding the relevant rumors, Pegatron Tong Zixian did not respond positively but only emphasized that “let them calm down first”; as for whether there is a demand for new orders, he stated that “the customer’s request is that you stick to your posts and don’t run around. Operate well.”

Although Tong Zixian kept a low profile, foreign investors indicated that the average capacity utilization rate of Hon Hai’s Zhengzhou plant was only 20% in November, and it is expected to increase to 30% to 40% in December; and Pegatron and Luxshare have obtained contracts from Hon Hai 10% of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max orders will be shipped in large quantities as soon as late December.

In addition, foreign investors believe that Apple will diversify supply risks, and it may be difficult for Hon Hai to be the exclusive assembly supplier of the iPhone 15 Pro series in the future. Hon Hai declined to comment on this.

Regarding the new iPhone 15 series that Apple may launch next year, Pegatron Tong Zixian said that he is still racking his brains to imagine that “I am still busy with the mass production of this year’s products, and the personnel scheduling is too busy. Don’t worry about the new products next year.” guess”.

With Live Activity, users can stay up to date on the latest information about their favorite apps. Without unlocking the device, you can follow the arrival time of a cab, the latest score of a ball game, or the next alarm reminder on the lock screen. On iPhone 14 Pro, “Live Activity” information also appears on Dynamic Island if the device is unlocked.

To encourage developers, Apple Greater China has launched an App Accelerator online campaign, the latest of which is “Challenge on the Island: Adapting Live Events and Dynamic Island.

Apple’s Greater China Design and Development Accelerator has launched a new challenge that invites development teams to complete Live Events and Dynamic Island adaptations by a deadline.

According to the campaign description, Live Events is used to display the latest information from apps on the iPhone lock screen and on Lively Island to help users see the progress of current tasks and events. By participating in the event, developers will learn how to design and develop real-time events and how to use Lively Island to deliver an even better user experience.

Apple said it will offer themed design and development talks where developers will learn how to design and develop real-time events and how to leverage Lively Island to bring an even better user experience. Participating development teams will be able to sign up for the Live Events and Smart Island Adaptation Challenges on the day of the seminar and receive one-on-one consultation and in-depth coaching after passing the review.

Now, with iOS 16.1 about to be officially pushed out, Apple is finally allowing developers to submit apps to the App Store that support new features such as Dynamic Island, which will finally allow WeChat to use Dynamic Island.

It is reported that developers are now able to use the new Live Activity API in their apps to display rich information content in Lively Island and the iOS 16 lock screen interface, which will help improve the user interaction experience.

However, developers should also be aware that after April 2023, all apps submitted to the App Store must be built using the Xcode 14.1 and iOS 16.1 SDKs, at which point apps that do not support the new version will not be taken down, but will not be able to continue to iterate and update properly.

Delivery date at one week pre-order

However, this situation has been reversed today, with the iPhone 14 Plus 128GB Blue, for example, now showing on Apple’s website that the expected delivery date for orders placed today is October 18 to October 20, two weeks later than we previously knew.

Delivery date before the deadline

While the iPhone 14 Plus doesn’t have the same performance upgrades as the iPhone 14 Pro series, the former also supports Apple’s new crash detection and also opts for a super porcelain crystal panel + aluminum metal frame in terms of body material, as well as a certain boost in battery life, with official claims of up to 26 hours of video playback time.

In terms of price, the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max start at RMB 5,999, RMB 7,999 and RMB 8,999 respectively, while the iPhone 14 Plus starts at RMB 6,999.

It is worth mentioning that the iPhone 14 Plus is likely to be ready for the “Double 11” or next year’s “618”, and with subsidized discounts on e-commerce platforms, it is expected to be the most popular model in the iPhone 14 series with its price advantage.

Reports of strong demand for the iPhone 14 Pro model have come from all angles. Analysis by investment bank Morgan Stanley shows that the iPhone 14 cycle is stronger than expected using data on lead times and pre-orders.

In the US, the iPhone 14 Pro Max had the longest delivery time of any model released within a similar time frame after its debut in the last six years, at 36.5 days.

The iPhone 14 Pro had the third longest lead time of any model in the same timeframe at 29.5 days. Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 had a lead time of six days, indicating a low level of interest in the model.

Demand for the iPhone 14 Pro is equally strong, according to investment bank JP Morgan, which says it has an average lead time of 35 days and the iPhone 14 Pro Max 41 days. iPhone 14 Plus lead times are currently at 21 days.

New features on the iPhone 14 Pro models include a 48-megapixel camera sensor with a wide-angle lens, an always-on display and a spirited island that replaces the bangs. They seem to be enough to drive sales.

The island can largely obscure the front lens of the phone and use the free area near the front lens to display cards, pop-ups, notifications and other content. The island can change shape to meet the needs of different users. The island can also bring up control options to play music and other functions, and the whole process has a very silky animation effect. And as some users have recently discovered, the island can do more than that.

Third-party developer Kriss Smolka took to the social media platform today to share a little game he created based on the features of Dynamic Island called Hit the Island. The game is modeled on the classic game Pong and allows users to interact with the island area by sliding the bottom panel to accumulate points. According to Smolka, the game is not too difficult and after testing there are currently only some latency issues that will need to be adjusted at a later date.

This flexible use of the island feature is not unique to Smolka, as users on the B site have also come up with their own designs, and shortly after the Apple launch, UP owner @sheepreallost came up with his own design to enhance the usefulness of the island by adapting the island interface to include things like secret pickup alerts, queue size displays and nucleic acid guidelines for mobile phones.

Third-party developers are never short of ideas, and after the announcement of the Dynamic Island feature, many Android developers have also moved on to the hole-punch screen. To meet the demand of many Android users for this feature of Dynamic Island, some developers have also launched similar features for the Android platform. One such app is “Lively Bird”, which is available on KUAN.

With the app, Android users can also set it near the camera, making it invisible to them during use. The dots can be adjusted to fit your phone by adjusting the size and top distance of the dots. The app shows the battery and headset on the desktop, but there are no controls. At the end of the day, he is just an animated effect and does not have the same actual functions as Dynamic Island.

In addition to Android apps, some developers have also been working on theme skins. Shortly after Apple’s launch, a theme designer with the ID “Mu Ye” submitted his design for Xiaomi’s Dynamic Island theme. The skin, designed specifically for Xiaomi phones, allows for the definition of airplane animations, lock screen charging personalized text, time and date inversions, and is designed for functions such as music and charging. The skin allows Xiaomi users to experience the Dynamic Island feature on their phones. However, judging from the experience video, this skin can only be said to implement the basic functions of Dynaimic Island, whether, in terms of animation effects or actual functions, it is not up to Apple’s standards.

Of course, many of these features are still in the concept or design stage and will not be available to these independent developers until the iPhone 14 Pro series is released. But it’s easy to see the ‘possibilities’ in these designs.

It’s easy to see how Apple has become more open in recent years. From Maps to widgets and now to Island, Apple has given third-party developers more freedom and allowed a new model for Apple’s content ecosystem to emerge. Apple provides the basic functionality and developers build on top of that to develop more and different features to meet the additional needs of users, who in turn use this type of software to gain a richer experience.

The mobile content market is now becoming more open to the individual needs of users. Apple is clearly helping to personalize the content ecosystem by developing a variety of ‘possibilities’ to meet the needs of different users.

Widgets are a similar feature, allowing the core functionality of each app to appear directly on the desktop, largely for the convenience of users. This year, Apple seems to be moving towards something even more fun.

The Smart Island feature is an extension of the widget, giving it more display and control capabilities. And the addition of third-party developers has made the Dynaimic Island feature even more interesting. Apple reportedly allows third-party developers to create interactive experiences based on Dynamic Island, and the addition of mini-games is apparently one of the directions that will help Dynamic Island shine, in addition to the various information display and control features.

The morphable design of the Island allows it to be adapted to many different game genres. In addition to minigames like Hit the Island, vertical screen pop-up shooters like Raging Chief Bee Unlimited can also turn Dynamic Island into an enemy presence. Some horizontal MOBA games can also be played with a unique UI design that allows the game developer to design the Dynamic Island area as a suitable helper page to help the user with controls. All in all, the emergence of Dynamic Island has opened up more possibilities for third-party developers.

Just like Apple’s slogan for iOS 16, personality is power. Apple is reportedly allowing third-party developers to create interactive experiences based on Dynamic Island, and this has given the stage to third-party developers who want to take on the challenge of personalized interaction design. Showcasing a distinctive UI interaction design in a small area is enough to stir up the challenge for a large number of third-party developers.

Apple allowing third-party developers to create interactive experiences based on Dynamic Island could attract a large number of third-party developers to join in, and will surely bring more new variations to Dynamic Island. Just like the design by B-site UP owner @sheepreal, the island will have more variations to meet the needs of users in different regions.
