IT Home September 22nd news, at the "Far Out" launch conference, Apple released iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, retaining most of the design of iPhone 13 - including the notch grooves used for mobile phone selfie cameras and Face ID sensors. Apple also launched the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, equipped with a "Lingdong Island" pill screen to display alerts and background activities, a brighter display and AOD screen-off display feature, A16 bionic chip, new color options, and more.
At the press conference, Apple specially introduced the "Lingdong Island" design of the iPhone 14 Pro, which looks like a long strip or a deformable pill. Some netizens even believe that the hardware is equipped with pill holes and there is no screen in the middle, but it is not the case.
Previously, the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max is indeed equipped with an "exclamation mark" hole-punching screen. That is, the "pill + single punch" screen. IT Home learned that, with the software adaptation of iOS 16, the "Lingdong Island" design further downplays the "exclamation mark" and digging holes. In terms of display, the screen in the middle is always in black state, etc.
However, some netizens have discovered that Apple has quietly changed it to a "long pill", which is the same as the product form of the Apple Store online store.

Apple said that Lingdong Island brings users a new way to interact with iPhone, blurring the boundaries between hardware and software, and displaying important reminders, notifications and activities in real time. With the launch of Lingdong Island, the original deep sense camera has been redesigned to reduce the display space occupied. Without affecting the display of screen content, Lingdong Island remains active, allowing users to use control options just by pressing and pressing. Events that keep background running, such as maps, music apps, or timers, are always visible and interactive. In addition, Lingdong Island is also suitable for third-party apps in iOS 16 that provide information such as game scores and ride-sharing information through "real-time activities". The Sliding Island blurs the boundaries between hardware and software and can be flexibly expanded into various shapes to clearly present important operations such as face ID verification.
