Apple is preparing to shrink the Dynamic Island with the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which we expect to be introduced in 2025. According to information leaked by the Chinese source Digital Chat Station, the Apple Face will use “Metalns” technology to reduce components. In this way, the area at the top of the screen will take up less space and the device will have a more minimal appearance. So what is this metalns? Details in our news…
Dynamic Island’s dimensions will shrink thanks to Metalns technology at iPhone 17 Pro Max
In fact, we know the Dynamic Island, which Apple has used since the iPhone 14 Pro series, as a notch area with face ID and front camera components. However, in the new model:
- Thanks to a new technology called “metalns”, the face ID components will be reduced,
- A single module will undertake both face ID screening and infrared lighting function,
- In this way, the dynamic island will become smaller.

Although Apple’s ultimate goal is to place Face ID under the screen, this technology is not expected to be fully available for several years. On the other hand, according to the latest leaks, Apple plans to use these reduced face ID components not only in the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but also in new iPad Pro and foldable iPad models.

However, it is worth mentioning that in order to clarify this information, it is necessary to wait for Apple’s official announcements. Although many sources say that the Dynamic Island will shrink in the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the iPhone 17 series will not change in the dynamic island size.
For now, Apple’s exact plans are not known, but the iPhone 17 Pro Max will offer great innovations with the screen design. Do you think Apple’s shrinking Dynamic Island is an important change? You can write your opinions in the comments section below…
