iPhone 14 Pro Max “The DI” (dynamic island)

[mikezmac]

OK I am totally going to be the person responsible for coin the phrase,
“The DI” (dynamic island)

I really think that this feature is the Bomb 💣! Loving it! I can’t wait for my phone to arrive!

When I see "DI," the first thing that comes to mind is Drill Instructor.

I am looking forward to seeing it in action.

I think the island is a pretty cool idea. I really don't get the hate at all. It's just a small quality of life change that will bring a bit of added functionality to the device. I'm looking forward to messing around with it & look forward to the 3rd party support as well.

I think it’s easier just to call it “the island” and skip saying the dynamic part. Honestly the name is dumb to begin with. Weren’t the rumors calling it “the pill?”

Info bar would be a better description since we have a home bar on the bottom.

"Pill" is more universal.

Anything else makes it sound like the poster is on Apple's marketing payroll.

Ha ha. Ha.
I think I’m gonna stick with the DI, unfortunately, I just can’t swallow the pill

*cries* I’ve been out voted. And I had thought I was being so clever, oh well.

 

[Knowimagination]

I just call it "the island"

 

[Shh]

As long as it continues to annoy others, I will keep saying Dynamic Island frequently and in its entirety.

Likely candidates:

• pill
• island

Less likely:

• temp bar/island
• live thing
• alt-tab-ber/bar
• notchifications
• pile-land (pile-island) bonus points if you enjoy macOS 'Piles'

DI makes me think of a DI box.

Someone on Reddit I think coined the term iLand. It's not bad.

I hate any kind of animation or movement in a UI. I hope to god I can TURN OFF Dynamic Island. Please, please, please, dear god, let that be the case.

Really GREAT feature, really silly name

DI - that is how my license plate number starts with!
(DI for Dieburg, all plates in specific regions of Germany have their unique letters they're starting with)

Don’t like DImand hope we do not have to have that much conversation about it.
