Love it or hate it, you probably have strong feelings about Apple's Dynamic Island. I have to hand it to Apple for embracing a cutout and turning it into something you're willing to open your wallets for. It's a very "Apple way" of dealing with a problem that most Android phone makers have been ignoring and even hiding for years. It's an expertly executed fusion of hardware and software, albeit with a terrible name and some room to improve.Instead of catching the hype train and placing an order for the new iPhone 14 Pro, I decided to give it a little bit of thought. Would I rather have a dynamic island or stick with a notch on top of the display? Unlike a lot of people around me who I know absolutely love Dynamic Island, I am here to make a case for the notch.Look, Dynamic Island is a cool spin on the cutout and it's probably the best use of engineering and design I've seen in a long time. But that doesn't take away from the fact that it has some glaring issues. Hear me out!
