The Dynamic Island isn't going away anytime soon. The Apple iPhone 15 series is expected to bring the controversial notch to all models. But reports are claiming there's going to be a slight change over the iPhone 14 Pro version. Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims the proximity sensor will be integrated inside the Dynamic Island area this time instead of sitting below it.
The proximity sensor detects when you hold up a phone to your ear so it shuts off the screen. The position shift might be related to rumours of Face ID improvements. But Kuo said this won't result in any changes to the look or functionality of the Dynamic Island. He said Apple supplier Finisar will move to offer Apple 940nm wavelength proximity sensors instead of the iPhone 14 Pro's 1380nm sensors. This new proximity sensor is supposedly part of a Single Pearl Module with the codename "Sphinx." We expect the Apple iPhone 15 series to debut in September.
