Do you take a liking to audio visualizers? If the answer was yes, then you might take a liking to a new TrollStore add-on called Letterpress by iOS developer 82flex, which can apply unique audio visualizer effects to your iPhone’s Dynamic Island or Notch whenever you have media playing on your device.
Whether you have an iPhone with a native Dynamic Island or you’ve used some add-on to replicate the Dynamic Island user experience on a notched handset, you can take advantage of a newly released jailbreak tweak called K2geIsland by iOS developer mafu to get more out of it.
While many modern Mac computers now have a notch at the top of their display, I certainly feel that Apple missed a wonderful opportunity to incorporate Dynamic Island-like features into it just as they’ve done already on the iPhone.
On notched iPhones, such as the iPhone X and newer, holding down on the sleep/wake button invokes the Siri voice assistant. Consequently, users of these devices need to perform button trickery (volume up, volume down, then press and hold sleep/wake) to summon the power menu.
While you can sometimes rotate your iPhone left or right to enter landscape orientation in many apps, the iPad is the only device that supports multi-directional rotation to include upside-down orientation.
If you’ve ever used something such as DynamicCowTS to enable the Dynamic Island user experience on unsupported older notched iPhones, then you may have noticed how it doesn’t exactly align well with the notch despite working correctly. Specifically, it overlaps the notch halfway, blocking some of it from view.
Almost a year ago, iOS developer matteozappia discovered a way to enable the Dynamic Island on notched iPhones running iOS 16.0-16.1.2 via the MacDirtyCow exploit.
This year's upcoming iPhone refresh will bring the Dynamic Island to all four models, including the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
One of the things you might notice about the keyboard on notched iPhones, such as the iPhone X and newer, is that the keyboard interface leaves a lot of unused pixels at the bottom of the screen.
The Dynamic Island is one of the most distinguishable differences between the iPhone 14 Pro lineup and all prior handset models. This handy feature utilizes the area surrounding the TrueDepth camera system to display useful information about what’s happening on your device, such as Now Playing media, Personal Hotspot connectivity, and active Screen Recordings, among other things.
One of the biggest changes for the iPhone 14 Pro lineup in 2022 was the introduction of the Dynamic Island — the hole punch-like space at the top of the display that encapsulates the TrueDepth camera system and slick new software animations for various iOS activities.
