- IPhone 17 Pro Dynamic Island could be less
- This is a prolonged rumor around the phone
- We will find out with certainty at launching on the upcoming Tuesday
We count down the days for the launch of the iPhone 17 launch on our Apple Live Event Blog, but with the show we are still approaching the leaks dripping out online – including a new rumor about the dynamic island on the iPhone 17 Pro.
According to an X -tipster (via macaroors), the dynamic island of Pro and Pro Max phones could be getting smaller. This particular source has no track record to talk about, but there are more images that support the claims.
What’s more, besides the tip being picked up by a large Apple Rumors site, it fits in with earlier rumors from several sources that the dynamic island would shrink on some iPhone 17 models or at least change size and shape somehow.
The amount of talk that has been around this particular change means that we are more ready to think it will happen, though nothing is safe before Apple actually reveals the four iPhone 17 models we expect.
Iceland History
You remember that the dynamic island first appeared in 2022 on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max and replaced the chopped. In addition to residential elements such as the Face ID camera, it also offered a space for iOS and installed apps to display real -time information.
With the iPhone 15 series, the dynamic island came to each smartphone in Apple’s flagship series, and it continued with the iPhone 16 phones last year. However, it was left by the iPhone 16E, which appeared in February 2025, using the older Notch design.
The dynamic island has not changed since it was introduced in 2022, and it is not clear what the benefits of making it smaller would be – although there would be more actually screen space on the show, and eventually it can disappear completely.
This is only one of many changes predicted for iPhone 17, from a revised camera control to more battery life. We cover all the messages on Tuesday, September 9 and you can also watch together live.
