Apple’s Dynamic Island, which brings together the pill and hole cutouts at the top of the display, will be included in all varieties of the iPhone 15 that are released this year. But in addition to this, there will also be a significant update to the feature that was absent from the iPhone 14 Pro versions.
An Apple industry analyst recently posted a tweet indicating that the proximity sensor on the iPhone 15 series will be integrated within the Dynamic Island region rather than sitting below it as is now the case.
The proximity sensor on the iPhone 14 Pro can be found underneath the display on this model (outside Dynamic Island). On the other hand, the proximity sensor for the iPhone 15 series is integrated into Dynamic Island, with the Dynamic Island region undergoing essentially no noticeable change.
The phone screen automatically turns off when the user places the phone to their ear because of the proximity sensor. Changing the placement of the sensor might be related to the recent improvements made to Face ID. But, as Kuo points out, it is doubtful that the adjustment will result in any noticeable change to the appearance or functionality of Dynamic Island. In any case, it will signify a component modification, which might have been initiated to cut costs.
According to Kuo, Apple supplier Finisar will switch from providing 1380nm wavelength proximity sensors to 940nm wavelength proximity sensors for the iPhone 14 Pro. According to new information leaked to MacRumors by the user identified only as Unknownz21, the newly developed proximity sensor is now a component of the Single Pearl Module, which once went under the codename “Sphinx.”
As customary, Apple is anticipated to debut the iPhone 15 family of products in September. You can learn everything there is to know about what’s new in the newest models by following the links below to access our special roundups.
