The most important upgrade of iPhone 14 Pro is undoubtedly the newly added Lingdong Island design, which brings a new hole-punching screen and UI interaction system.
Recently, one of the executives of Apple , CraigFederighi, who is responsible for iOS development, mentioned in an interview that Lingdong Island represents the first major user experience change for iPhone since iPhoneX five years ago.
He said: "This may be the first major operational change in the five years since the iPhone X was launched. Five years ago, iPhone X removed the Home physical buttons, which fundamentally changed the various operation methods of the iPhone, such as how to unlock the lock screen, how to return to the home screen, and how to switch applications. The new feature also changed the appearance of the iPhone. It made me think again about how to run multiple applications, notifications, and how to manage the continuous behavior of the background."
"For us, it is very exciting to integrate what is happening on the iPhone into this small interactive place."
However, it should be noted that among the user group, the reputation of Lingdong Island has been greatly reduced, and the color difference between the holes and Lingdong Island area has directly discouraged many users, and the experience in the light is very fragmented.
In addition, the operations that are adapted to Lingdong Island are very scarce, and even the own applications cannot be all available on the island. Third-party apps may not have the first batch of adapters until the end of this month at the earliest. Whether Lingdong Island is easy to use depends on the experience after the complete adaptation in the later stage, as well as Apple's control over developers. If Lingdong Island is used by some unruly developers and becomes a window for resident advertising, it is definitely not a good thing for Apple.
