No. And I find the Dynamic Island somewhat useful even if it’s understandably underutilized.

Dynamic Island is the best, I tried using iPhone 14 Pro once and it's great (it's my friend's, not mine though 😂) maybe I'll wait for an iPhone 15 or purchase an iPhone 14 Pro.

I have the 14 Pro… maaaybe should have gone for Max but have never used a phone that big! There are plenty of apps that do not account for the dynamic island unfortunately and cut into the graphics. But it’ll get better.

The dynamic island isn't really different than the notch, and it's arguably worse because it intrudes further down into the display (resulting in a smaller display area for videos). As I've said before:

> IMO, the dynamic island is an incredibly fantastic sleight-of-hand way to distract attention away from the fact that the display has a huge hole in it. So, instead of people screaming about the ugly notch or hole, we have people simply talking about the dynamic island.
