The game on video:
Arriving at the same time as the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, the “Dynamic Island” functionality demonstrates the extent to which Apple is in control of both its device with regard to the hardware, but also the software. With this option the little pill at the top of the screen becomes invisible and gives us the impression of having a screen without the slightest notch, as Steve Jobs always dreamed of.
If in fact the opening for the selfie camera as well as Face ID is still present, it is hidden by a very well thought-out software functionality. A few hours after the end of the Apple presentation keynote, everyone only had the name “Dynamic Island” on their lips.
Dynamic Island: the most everyone remembers
A feature that delights Apple users, generally disappointed by the lack of new features on the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. Also one more reason to go directly to the iPhone 14 Pro, a product which today costs €200 more than the “classic” version of the phone.
If the functionality fascinated the journalists present in Cupertino, it also interested developers. Among them, Kriss Smolka had the idea of using this small “island” to build a mobile game. Called “hit the island” or “frappe l'île” in good French, the little independent game is only just beginning and it seems to suffer from many bugs at the moment.
Who has an iPhone 14 Pro right now? Need to test this on device asap!

A “pong” on iPhone 14 Pro
Inspired by the iconic game “Pong”, this new little mobile game takes up the codes of its illustrious predecessor. The challenge is very simple, succeed in hitting a ball on the small pill at the top of the screen. For the moment Apple has not reacted to this isolated use and no one knows how the Cupertino company intends to regulate the use of the pill at the top of the screen.
In any case other small features in this style may appear in the coming weeks. The first iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will be available in stores this Friday while deliveries should arrive before the end of the week.
