‘The Dynamic Island’?!? WTF?

Is this something related to a network TV Action Sports reality show?

Perhaps a contested patch of guano near the Philippines where China is building an illegal military base?

Or a new nature documentary about Hawaiian volcanoes?

No, i had watch a video showing it to figure out that it's just the fancy way they make their UI of iOS use the camera cutout intentionally. It does dynamic stuff and makes it feel less like a static island. They're really scraping the barrel with that one.

I mean, it is better than just having a hole punch as other manufacturers have done. But they definitely have way overmarketed it.

I mean... I'd still prefer no hole punch at all.

Edit: Not that I actually care what apple does directly, but it does ripple through the industry of copycats

I don’t know what that means but I’ll trust you.
