Was the Dynamic Island of the iPhone 14 Pro copied from Android?

Whether you are a fanboy or not, you will surely have poked around on the launch of the new iPhone 14 series, officially presented to the general public who have certainly appreciated a greedy and interesting novelty, namely the Dynamic Island function. A concept that has allowed Apple to abandon the conspicuous notch that accompanied its devices from the X model, replacing it with a pill-shaped hole.

A genius, undoubtedly, banal in some ways but which once again has decreed the Cupertino company one of the best in terms of innovation. Yet all this is not something new, indeed the idea was launched on an Android smartphone a few years ago. The Dynamic Island is something extraordinary, mind you, allowing you to view all types of notifications and adapt according to the action we are carrying out, with attached animations of great impact, but as mentioned something similar has already been seen on Android .

Apple's Dynamic Island is the evolution of the notch on the iPhone

With this function, the front camera is completely hidden and immersed with the display, finally bringing a new design compared to the huge notch seen on previous versions of the iPhone, criticized for years but in the end copied by everyone. This design allows you to make the most of the portions of the screen, but incorporating the many sensors also seen on previous generations.

The genius lies precisely in making the new front-end dynamic, providing it with animations, viewing notifications as well as automatically resizing based on what is happening on the display. Specifically, the functions of Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are:

  • Hide the sensor module and the front camera;
  • Widget for specific functions such as music, view GPS directions, answer calls, view charging status, inform you about face unlock and more;
  • It works as a kind of notification bar, changing size, shape or animation according to the configuration that each application develops.

Taking into account that the new iPhone 14 Pro has the Always On Display function, the screen will go completely dark to make you believe that there are really no hidden cameras or sensors in that area.

In 2015 the Dynamic Island already appeared on an Android smartphone

Dynamic Island

Wonderful idea, but although Apple will probably never admit it, the inspiration for the Dynamic Island came from a smartphone presented 7 years ago, belonging to the Android world, or the LG V10. Undoubtedly the functions and execution of what the LG V10 offers are not comparable to what Apple has done with its new smartphones, but LG must be given credit for forging the idea of ​​a bar, or rather a screen. secondary, which in addition to hiding the selfie camera hosted some shortcuts for different applications, allowed you to control music, show notifications and much more.

It lacked WOW animations and effects like the scaling seen on the iPhone 14 Pro, but LG's concept certainly inspired the engineers and designers of the bitten apple. An idea recycled but perfected to the nth degree.

We just have to see if the Dynamic Island will be resumed by Android terminals, if someone will dare more than Apple or if once again the iPhones will be inimitable. Do we have hopes in innovative companies such as Oppo or Xiaomi or does the Android market still want to innovate in the world of leaflets?
