Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo continues to offer insights into the iPhone 17, this time saying that Dynamic Island isn’t getting a redesign.
It’s 2025 which means we’re beginning the nine-month march toward the iPhone 17. As a result, we’re seeing an influx of rumors and leaks surrounding the next-gen iPhone.
This one comes from Ming-Chi Kuo, who posted on X on Friday that he believes Dynamic Island size isn’t changing much, if any, across the iPhone 17 lineup.

I expect the Dynamic Island size to remain largely unchanged across the 2H25 iPhone 17 series

It seems plausible, as the iPhone 17 is rumored to get a redesigned chassis, but likely will still take cues from previous iPhone models. There may not be a compelling reason for Apple to switch up Dynamic Island just yet.
Kuo’s report is the first one in 2025 discussing the Dynamic Island size or design. It was originally expected to shrink a bit, but the provenance on those rumors was a bit questionable at the time.
Dynamic Island made its debut on the iPhone 14 Pro, replacing the previous and often bemoaned notch, which first showed up on the iPhone X. Dynamic Island, for the most part, has been received positively.
That’s likely one reason Apple rumored to bring Dynamic Island to the iPhone SE 4. The iPhone SE 4 is also expected to ditch the home button in favor of an edge-to-edge display with Face ID.
