The notch became one of the great hallmarks of the iPhone, and also one of its most criticized features. With the arrival of the iPhone 14 Pro, and its older brother, the Pro Max, Apple managed to reduce it and shaped what we know as Dynamic Island, an oval space that could completely disappear with the arrival of the iPhone 16 Pro.
A report published in The Elec, a fairly reliable South Korean medium, points in that direction, and also leaves us with another interesting piece of information that we have already told you about on previous occasions, that Apple is going to extend Dynamic Island to the iPhone 15, which means that It will no longer be an exclusive limited to “Pro” models.
This is unofficially confirmed for the orders that the apple company would have made to Samsung Display, and for the equipment that it would have bought to manufacture screens compatible with Dynamic Island, according to the source of the news. We can almost certainly say that the iPhone 15 will finally say goodbye to the notch, although we do not expect major design changes in this new terminal.
Interesting, but without a doubt the most important thing about this information is that it points to the integration of the Face ID interface under the screen on the iPhone 16 Pro. This is not confirmed, it is a prediction from The Elec, but the truth is that it makes a lot of sense, since in the end it will be the next natural move by Apple to continue improving the design of its well-known smartphone, and with the advances that have been made Such integration would be perfectly feasible without major sacrifices in the quality and reliability of this facial recognition technology.
Taking into account the great interest generated by the Dynamic Island, I think it is evident that an iPhone 16 Pro without notches or floating islands could “break” the market, and that would end up generating such great interest that it could become one of Apple’s best-selling terminals. On the other hand, it would also place the apple company in a truly unique position, since it would be one of the few manufacturers that would have a smartphone with a “real” all-screen finish on the market.
We will see if this information is confirmed or not, although we can be sure that the iPhone 15 will “democratize” the Dynamic Island. Its release is scheduled for September of this year, and according to several sources, the first stage of production in the test phase will soon begin. Subsequently, the mass production phase will start.
