iPhone 17 series might feature a new, upgraded Dynamic Island with iOS 26: Report
The iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in the first half of September this year. Ahead of the launch, there are several rumours and leaks about the latest iteration of iPhones. The Dynamic Island in the iPhone 17 series is going to get a significant upgrade. It is expected to evolve over the next few years, as per leaks.
Tipster Majin Bu shared several rendering and purported dummy units of the iPhone 17 with an extended camera bump and Apple logo in the usual place.
'I can reveal that the Dynamic Island is set for a significant evolution in the coming years. Apple appears committed to making it more functional and integrated, turning it into a key element of the user experience,' the tipster was quoted as saying in an interview with
'This development could mark a step forward in device interaction, but for now, I'll keep further details under wraps. Stay tuned to see how this innovation unfolds,' they further said, adding that the Cupertino-based tech giant is looking to make the Dynamic Island more functional and integrated.
With the iPhone 17 series launching soon, it is likely that the Dynamic Island will also change. The feature was first seen on the iPhone 14 Pro in 2022; the Dynamic Island took the place of the notch that iPhones were previously known for. This notch housed the Face ID sensors and selfie camera. The Dynamic Island has good lock-screen capabilities and could get even better in the future.
Several Android phone manufacturers have introduced features similar to Apple's Dynamic Island, with Realme's Mini Capsule being a notable example. Apple's main competitor, Samsung, also seems to think that the Dynamic Island is a useful little feature, as it's introduced something similar to it called the Now Bar in its 2025 Galaxy flagships.
However, Apple can be quite secretive about its new phone releases, and nothing is certain until we see the new phones. The iPhone 17 series will reportedly be launched during the first week of September 2025.
