Chinese smartphone maker Realme is asking its “loyal fans” for ideas on how to copy Apple’s Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Why bother to “pump” the work of Apple’s engineers in secret when you can ask its customers?
Realme does not hide it
In a challenge posted on its website, Realme explains that “the user interface around the camera hole could transform into different shapes and sizes to display incoming phone calls, alerts, notifications, and more” , precisely like Apple’s Dynamic Island. The company finds this idea “quite enticing” and decided to reach out to its “loyal fans for ideas and suggestions on how such a software feature could be implemented on Realme devices.” Customers are invited to submit images, videos, and artwork on how Realme could implement a version inspired by the new notch on its devices.
Post a comment in the form of a drawing, GIF or just text, and explain how a possible realme island would work, what it would look like and how it would be beneficial – feel free to be detailed because our realme UI developers will review all submissions and they are knowledgeable.
In an image attached to the challenge, Realme features a hole-shaped cutout with a yellow glow captioned “What does your dream island look like?” realme says its UI developers will use the winner’s idea and “consider it for possible implementation in the future.”
The best novelty
Since its announcement earlier this month during the September 7 keynote, the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island has wowed experts and customers alike, with some calling it “one of Apple’s best designs in years.” Dynamic Island uses the pill-shaped area at the top of the screen to present users with relevant, contextual information, such as background activity, now playing, and more. A few days after the presentation of Apple’s iPhone 14, Android developers have already started trying to recreate Dynamic Island on Android devices.
