The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have a new cutout area on their screen that Apple has named the Dynamic Island.

Tech & Science When Apple introduced the iPhone X, it removed the home button and cleared everything it could from the front of the display, leaving only a black area at the top. Instinctively, people began referring to it as the notch. Its look was divisive at first, but mostly it has faded into the periphery.

Over time, Apple shrunk the notch to consume less area. The obvious thought is that Apple has been working toward getting rid of that blemish altogether. Isn't a front camera or security components taking away pixels from the user a bad thing? I assumed so, until Apple showed off its Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro. Now I'm convinced that either camera cutouts or some software-only version of its Dynamic Island will be around, at the top of the screen, for a very long time.
