Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, October 13 (Xinhua) this year, Apple has equipped the entire iPhone 15 / Pro model with "punch screen" and smart island functions, while the current iPadOS and macOS firmware show that Apple is expected to launch a "punch screen" MacBook Pro equipped with "smart island" in the future.

It is reported that X platform user Carter found the hidden icon, claiming that the specific icon exists in iPadOS 17.0.2 (21A351). Apple mistakenly set the icon as the default logo for the "mouse cross-platform sharing" function, while a number of users, such as firesingh11 and kaedesuzu_naho, also proved the authenticity of the icon in the comments area.

Considering that the iPhone equipped with the "Smart Island" model uses an asymmetrical "punch screen" in hardware, connecting the related holes into a whole in the software, and the relevant MacBook Pro icon shows that the "punch screen" area is also a whole, so Apple is likely to equip a series of models with a "smart island".

This new icon proves that Apple does plan to launch relevant models, and replace the current "bangs" with "punch screen". It is also expected to carry functions such as "Smart Island".
