How to disable Dynamic Island in iPhone 15

That’s a terrible answer. So you’re telling me that because you guys have a design floor and didn’t think that this would bother people we don’t have any option to make it go away. I am 100% Apple user I have an Apple house I have iPhones I have everything Apple but I have to say this is just **** and you guys really have stopped innovating.

Seriously, WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? It pops-up constantly to remind me that my mobile connection is off.

• well, it better be, since I choose to have it this way!

they better fix it otherwise apple is not for me anymore and I’d hate to go back to android, but I can’t stand to be bothered all the time like this.

I understand the hardware limitations for why the entire island can’t be disabled but not let users disable the NOTIFICATIONS doesn’t make any sense.

And now it even expands a large pop-up in the screen -.-‘

wth!

I truly regret getting the 15. One annoyance after another. The latest is not being able to hide the Dynamic Island while watching videos. Definitely my last iPhone.

This is a user-to-user forum. You're not addressing Apple here. If you'd like Apple to know your feelings, use the feedback page:

How would you hide it?

Duct tape?

Had you asked someone at Apple (Or here. Or done an internet search) before buying, you would have found that out. And, you had 14 days after you bought it to return it if it didn't meet your needs. You could probably still sell it and recoup a good bit of your original cost to put toward a phone that better suits you.

Personally, I couldn't be happier with my iPhone 15 Pro. Probably the best iPhone I've ever had. Apple keeps getting better.

That fact you don't like and and don't see a reason for it doesn't mean their isn't a reason.

You can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:

Apple doesn't read here for feedback, suggestions or threats.

You cannot disable the dynamic island as it houses the face id system and front camera. A small gap between them filled in with software leaves the area black to blend in.
