Apple is giving its Dynamic Island design element more attention in iOS 17
Apple introduced the Dynamic Island design element with the iPhone 14 Pro in 2022. It's a new home screen layout that replaces the traditional grid of icons with a large, customizable widget.

Here are a few things Apple could do to give the Dynamic Island more attention in iOS 17:
- Add more customization options for widgets. Currently, users can only add a limited number of widgets to the Dynamic Island. Apple could expand the number of widgets that can be added, as well as the size and shape of the widgets.
- Make the Dynamic Island more dynamic. Currently, the Dynamic Island is static. The widgets are always in the same place and they don't change. Apple could make the Dynamic Island more dynamic by allowing the widgets to move around or change size depending on the time of day or the user's activity.
- Make the Dynamic Island more accessible. Currently, the Dynamic Island is not very accessible for users with disabilities. Apple could make the Dynamic Island more accessible by adding features such as voice control and screen magnification.
Overall, the Dynamic Island is a promising design element. However, it still needs some refinement. Apple could give the Dynamic Island more attention in iOS 17 by adding more customization options, making it more dynamic, and making it more accessible.
In addition to the Dynamic Island, iOS 17 is also expected to include a number of other new features. These features include:
- A new design for the lock screen
- New features for the Messages app
- New features for the Maps app
- New features for the Health app
- Support for new augmented reality experiences
