Apple introduced the iPhone’s Dynamic Island in September 2022 when it unveiled the iPhone 14 series. That year’s iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max dropped the notch in favor of a pill-shaped screen cutout that looks larger and uglier than the hole punch displays on Android phones. That was understandable, as Apple needed to keep Face ID authentication in place.
But Apple fully embraced the cutout, creating a software feature around it called the Dynamic Island. Apple incorporated the physical cutout into a larger virtual cutout that displays all sorts of information from various apps. The Dynamic Island became viral instantly. It was all people talked about initially.
Since then, Apple has transitioned all iPhones to Dynamic Island designs. Some Android vendors have tried to copy this, too, despite not really having to do it. Samsung was one of them, at least until late 2024.
The Korean giant recently released its Android 15 beta program (One UI 7), which looks a lot like iOS 18. It even has a Dynamic Island-like interface element that resembles the Dynamic Island.
It’s not placed at the top of the phone but at the bottom. It’s called the Now Bar, and thanks to a new Samsung announcement, we know how it works when it comes to Galaxy AI. This will be a key Galaxy S25 feature, as these phones are getting One UI 7 first.
