There’s still hope that the iPhone 17 Pro will have a smaller Dynamic Island.

First spotted by MacRumors, the X user has shared intel from their workplace, revealing that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have a Dynamic Island that’s 1.5cm in width, down from 2cm on the current models.

In the accompanying photos, the black cutout does look smaller, though that may not be apparent at first glance, considering it has only been reduced by 25 percent in size.Early-stage iPhone 17 Pro rumors claimed that Apple would use metalens for the Face ID system to trim down the Dynamic Island. These flat and light optical lenses take up less space than traditional lenses.

Later leaks hinted that the size of the Dynamic Island would remain unchanged this year and that the only change to expect for the iPhone 17 series was a revamped interface for the Dynamic Island to make it a centrepiece of the user experience.

The iPhone 17 Pro is pretty much confirmed to have an edge-to-edge camera bar. This, paired with a smaller Dynamic Island and potentially slimmer bezels, will make the handset look visibly different from the iPhone 16 Pro.

With Apple unlikely to announce any groundbreaking AI changes this year, an upgraded design could steer the conversation into a new direction, acting as a saving grace for the company.
