Dynamic Island Feature of iPhone 15 to be Highlighted as Unique Selling Point

Apple’s iPhone 15 lineup didn’t show many big surprises during the launch event this week, including the fact that Apple is bringing the Dynamic Island notch to all iPhone 15 models this year. This software-based feature that was built into the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max last year, and now the company offers four iPhone 15 models. There was a lot of excitement around Dynamic Island when Apple introduced it last year, and now more people are getting the chance to experience the feature without burning a hole in their pocket to buy an iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max. So what is Dynamic Island, which is now one of the USPs for iPhone 15 buyers and what does it offer users? Here is a detailed look at the feature and its use case.

What is Dynamic Island on iPhone 15?

Dynamic Island is Apple’s version of a wide notch that can perform live activities at the top of the iPhone’s screen. iPhones have had a wide notch since the introduction of the iPhone X model, but Apple decided to shake things up with the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max notch last year. You can also say that Dynamic Island is a secondary display for viewing content (limited features) on the iPhone screen.

Apple mentions that you can check alerts and see the progress of current activities, such as food delivery or cockpit status, on Dynamic Island. But that’s not all, you can also get current music playing and directions to Apple Maps. A dynamic island appears every time you unlock your iPhone.
