Dynamic Island
An interaction design introduced by Apple with the iPhone 14 Pro series in 2022. It encloses the front camera and sensor cutout within a dynamically morphing software UI capable of displaying live information such as music playback, navigation, and incoming calls, transforming a hardware constraint into an interactive surface.
Core Facts
The iPhone 18 Pro's Dynamic Island is being shrunk for the first time, as Apple moves the infrared Face ID sensor to the upper left and hides it beneath the display, allowing the top area to accommodate three Live Activities simultaneously.
Each pixel of an OLED screen emits its own light; when a pixel is turned off it emits no light at all and is visually indistinguishable from physical black — this is the technical foundation for implementing Dynamic Island.
Dynamic Island, introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro and subsequent models, is Apple's design that transforms the pill-shaped front camera cutout into a dynamic information display area.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The new MacBook Pro adopts a camera punch-hole design at the top of the screen similar to the iPhone's Dynamic Island, and some apps and Live Activities can be tucked into that area.
DOYT is an iOS to-do app that pins the current task on the iPhone's Dynamic Island and lock screen, letting users manage to-dos without opening the app.
Usually only one app at a time can occupy the Dynamic Island's main display area, with priority determined by the system based on activity type and user interaction, so whether a third-party to-do app can display stably depends on system scheduling and competition with other Live Activities.
DOYT users can complete the current task with a long press on the Dynamic Island, or move it to Later, with no jumping or page loading throughout the process.
The Dynamic Island is a Live Activities container introduced by Apple on the iPhone 14 Pro series, located around the front camera cutout at the top of the screen, and usually only one app at a time can occupy its main display area.
Dynamic Island is an interaction design introduced by Apple on the iPhone 14 Pro series, turning the pill-shaped cutout area into an interaction hub that can dynamically expand and contract and display real-time information.
