FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
Dynamic Island is set to be unchanged on the iPhone 17 Earlier rumors 
suggested it could be getting smaller Four new handsets are expected to 
appear in September 

As we look forward to the expected September launch of the iPhone 17 , we're 
hearing more rumors around what the Apple flagship phone might bring with it  
including one feature from the iPhone 16 that might not change. 

Well-respected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has gone on record saying the 
Dynamic Island that sits atop the displays on the iPhone 16 series is going 
to "remain largely unchanged" when it comes to this year's models. 

There has been some talk previously that the cut-out would get smaller on the 
iPhone 17 models, as Apple works to reduce the size of the components 
underneath it (including the Face ID sensor). According to Kuo, that won't be 
the case. 

 Patents filed by Apple suggest that the Face ID tech and even the selfie 
camera might eventually be put under the display, which would mean the 
Dynamic Island was no longer necessary  but the change seems to be some way 
off. Live Activities support 2H25 iPhone 17I expect the Dynamic Island size 
to remain largely unchanged across the 2H25 iPhone 17 series January 24, 2025 

You may remember the Dynamic Island was introduced with the iPhone 14 back in 
2022, and its subsequently shown up on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 handsets 
too. There have been rumors it'll come to the iPhone SE 4 this year too. 

The island does more than hide sensors and cameras, because it's used for 
Live Activities too: app developers can make use of it to show sports scores, 
or navigation instructions, or any sort of real-time information that's 
needed on screen. 

It could still fulfil that function if it was smaller, and could still pop up 
on screen when needed even if it wasn't permanently on the display, but these 
are all considerations Apple will be weighing up when it comes to the future 
of the Dynamic Island. 

Nothing will be certain until launch day of course, but other rumors point to 
an iPhone 17 Air model replacing the iPhone 16 Plus , while we've also heard 
that there could be display upgrades and improving cooling systems in the 
offing. You might also like The iPhone 17 could come with a Camera app
