The first rumors about next year’s iPhone 17 series have started to emerge. According to reports, the iPhone 17 Pro Maxcould feature a smaller Dynamic Island thanks to new metalens technology.
The Dynamic Island concept, first introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro, not only distinguishes iPhone from other Android phones but also performs multiple functions. However, some users criticize it for occupying too much screen space. This may change with the iPhone 17.
According to technology analyst Jeff Pu, Apple plans to shrink the Dynamic Island in the iPhone 17 Pro Max model. It is said that the company aims to make the 17 Pro Max more appealing by distinguishing it from other models in the series. The Dynamic Island in the standard iPhone 17 and 17 Pro models will remain the same.
Apple reportedly plans to achieve this with metalens technology. Metalens is a thin, flat lens piece engraved with a microscopic pattern that allows light to be focused more precisely. The analyst did not share details on how the company plans to use this technology to shrink the Dynamic Island in the iPhone 17 Pro. More details on this topic are expected in the coming weeks.
