Apple is planning to move Siri UI to the Dynamic Island on upcoming iPhones with iOS 17, an unknown source on Twitter revealed on Wednesday, Apr. 13.
According to the self-proclaimed Apple analyst whose identity remains anonymous, the new interface of the digital assistant is getting tested at the moment.
Siri UI is Moving to Dynamic Island
Based on a report by Macrumors, users might see the Siri interface in Dynamic Island by the time iOS 17-compatible iPhones become available.
When you use Siri or speak any Siri command, you will notice that the animated sphere will pop out on the bottom part of the display. All information will flash on the screen as the background content gets dim.
According to the mysterious leaker, when Siri UI is moved to Dynamic Island, the onscreen content will retain the entire view.
Additionally, the Cupertino giant might still tweak the changes for the Siri interface, and we should see more notifications appearing in the pill-shaped interface, per the tweet.
The tipster mentioned that iOS 17 would focus on customization and UI improvement in the Control Center. Dynamic Island will likely receive an upgrade because the marketing department pressured the development to roll out more improvements for it.
Dynamic Island is Becoming More Popular on the Android
Just last February 2023, Tech Times reported that a Realme leak hinted that a Dynamic Island clone similar to Apple's is coming to the Android platform.
Currently, the feature is only available to select high-end devices such as iPhone 14, but with the popularity of Dynamic Island, some smartphone brands might copy it as a gimmick.
Realme Narzo N55 has recently launched a Dynamic Island clone dubbed "Mini Capsule." According to Gizchina, users can see several benchmarks in the update, including step count, battery status, and smartphone data usage.
iOS 17 in a Nutshell
Going back to @analyst941, who said that Siri UI is coming to Dynamic Island, the iOS 17 seems promising on some levels.
The recent tweet from the tipster suggests that iOS 17 will launch in all iPhone models with iOS 16 support. These include iPhone X, iPhone 8, and more.
The person added that the update's main focus is long-term support for outdated devices, as well as the stability, efficiency, and performance of these old gadgets.
Furthermore, iOS 17 is allegedly bringing more Focus Mode filters accessible in Settings.
Custom accessibility settings will also be a part of the update's highlight in the future. The UI will be designed to be more friendly, especially for younger children and older persons. Improved Search/Spotlight and Health app UI changes are also included in the tweet.
