CTOnews.com, Sept. 8 (Xinhua)-- at the Far Out launch in the early hours of this morning, Apple released the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, retaining most of the iPhone 13 design-including bangs grooves for mobile selfie cameras and Face ID sensors. Apple also introduced the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, equipped with "Smart Island" pill screens to display alerts and background activities, brighter displays and AOD message screens, A16 bionic chips, new color options, and more.

Since iOS 14, when the application actively uses the camera, a green dot appears on the right side of the iPhone bangs groove. On the iPhone 14 Pro series models, this privacy indicator is now displayed in the new pill-shaped "Smart Island".

The repositioned camera indicator can be seen in Apple's video introducing the iPhone 14 Pro, which appears when the built-in camera app is opened. The green dot indicates that the application on the iPhone is using a camera or camera and microphone.

The green dot that appears directly next to the front camera of the iPhone 14 Pro model is similar to the green light when the MacBook webcam is active, providing a more consistent experience between devices.

An orange dot also appears in Smart Island when the app actively uses an iPhone microphone instead of a camera, but the lens displayed during Apple's event shows that the orange dot will appear on the right side of the status bar battery, at least when Smart Island is already in use.

CTOnews.com has learned that Smart Island is unique to the iPhone 14 Pro series models and replaces the traditional bangs grooves on all iPhone 13 series models. With the help of the software, "pills" are transformed into different shapes and sizes for incoming calls, alerts, notifications, Face ID authentication, timers, direction-by-direction navigation, real-time activities, and so on.
