A few years ago, there were endless discussions about Apple losing innovation in the iPhone. Data shows that Apple fans have higher and higher requirements for Apple. Once the iPhone loses its motivation to innovate, even the loyal Apple fans will not buy it. Some unpopular iPhones in recent years have proved this very well. This year, Apple iPhone 14 is obviously prepared for
. Two high-end iPhone 1 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max completely abandoned the notch screen and switched to Android's broken hole screen. However, Apple used its software advantages to create a new Lingdong Island interaction based on this hole screen. It was highly praised at the beginning of its release
, and many Apple fans also turned on the collective mockery mode of Android phones, saying that only Apple has such ideas and can play with ugly hole screens. In the future, Android manufacturers will definitely imitate and plagiarize Lingdong Island. Some professionals even said that even if Android phones want to imitate Apple Lingdong Island, they cannot imitate it. This requires strong system adaptation and development capabilities
However, the slap in the face always comes so quickly. Some developers on Android have quickly launched an app similar to Lingdong Island - dynamicSpot. Most importantly, dynamicSpot has more diverse functions than the Lingyin Island designed by Apple, and can be adapted to various hole punching methods
, such as center, left, single hole, and double holes, etc. dynamicSpot can change the interaction settings, choose when to show or hide popups or specify an application to appear. Provides songs, timers, battery status playback control, etc. The beta version has implemented enough functions. The developer said that the official version will be more useful, stronger than Apple's Lingdong Island
In other words, iPhone 14 Pro can do all dynamicSpots, and the iPhone 14 Pro does not have it can also be implemented. So far, the app has accumulated more than 1 million downloads and is still rising.
For this application, Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering, praised Lingdong Island very much. He bluntly stated that Lingdong Island represents the first major user experience change of iPhone since iPhoneX five years ago. I feel like it acts as a ‘life-saving’ character for my iPhone, and I think it gives the iPhone a new strong personality and vitality.
