The dynamic island on the iPhone 15 includes a new sensor

This year, every version of IPhone 15 Equipped with technology Dynamic IslandHowever, it will contain a fundamental change that was not present in the iPhone 14 Pro models. In other words, the iPhone 15 models will contain an updated version of the dynamic island that includes a new component that was not present in the iPhone 14 Pro models, which is an advanced proximity sensor. Follow the article to learn more details.


Famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently shared a tweet revealing some interesting details about the iPhone 15 series, where he mentioned that the proximity sensor on the new iPhones will be built into the dynamic island area, rather than placed below it as it was in previous models, which would May lead to improvements in accuracy and functionality. Overall, this is an important development that could have a significant impact on the overall user experience of the iPhone 15 series.

The function of the proximity sensor in the iPhone is to detect the proximity of the user's permission during a call, and then it turns off the screen to prevent any clicks or accidental touches of the screen during the call. According to reports, moving the sensor location to the dynamic island is likely related to the improvements to Face ID. This modification will not affect the appearance or operation of the dynamic island. It may just be a measure to reduce manufacturing costs, and this modification may have implications for future versions of the iPhone, such as adding new features or new tasks.

Kuo reported that Finisar, one of Apple's suppliers, a technology company that specializes in designing and manufacturing optical communication components and systems, and supplies Apple with the proximity sensors used in the iPhone, will make adjustments to the proximity sensor that it provides to Apple. To be precise, the new sensors will emit light with a wavelength of 940 nm, which is different from the current wavelength of 1380 nm used in the iPhone 14 Pro. The new sensors will be part of a unit called Single Pearl and codenamed 'Sphinx', details confirmed by an account known as Unknownz21.

The Single Pearl module is a component being developed by Apple and its suppliers for use in future iPhone models. It is a combination of multiple sensors and components, including the new 940nm proximity sensor provided by Finisar. The Single Pearl component is internally referred to as "Sphinx" and is expected to provide improved accuracy and reliability over previous proximity sensor modules. It is not yet clear which iPhone models will incorporate Single Pearl components or when they will be introduced, but it is likely to be included in upcoming models in the next few years.

Apple is expected to follow its usual pattern and announce the next version of the iPhone, the iPhone 15 lineup, next September.

People removed the notch years ago and they are still developing it.

    Where do you leave the Elvis sensors? Attach it to the air, and the whole device remains a screen without a notch 😃😃 Have mercy on us with your comments, experts

Thank you. I have an iPhone se (3). What is meant by the proximity sensor, and how do I test the device's performance?

    We explained the proximity sensor in the article, which senses when your face approaches the phone during a call in order to turn off the screen.

I have a 14 Pro. I think there is a problem with the proximity sensor, which I did not suffer from in previous devices, and it is at the end of the call. When I remove the phone from my ear, it takes a relatively long time. The screen opens and I try to end the call by pressing the off screen in a random place. In the second or third press, the screen turns on. By mistake, I pressed in the wrong place, and it opened the options that I needed, and the time of the call increases more, because I must first end the options that were opened by mistake.

    @Hani, thanks for your comment. It seems that your device's proximity sensor takes a long time to turn back on the screen after calls. This may be a hardware problem and not the sensor itself. It is recommended that you perform a performance test or contact Apple Customer Service for assistance. 📱🔎

Honestly, I have a problem with the proximity sensor on the iPhone XNUMX Pro Max
Sometimes, when I take the phone off my back in the middle of a call, the screen keeps turning off. I have to press the power button twice for it to turn on in the middle of a call.
I don't know if this is a software or hardware problem

    If the problem persists, it is best to contact Apple Customer Service to get the necessary assistance.

    Note, Ehab, that more than one person complained about the same as yours in the comments. It seems to be a general problem.

In all honesty, all of this does not matter. I hope they improve the quality of their very poor batteries. I hope the dream comes true and Apple becomes a Korean company like the rest of the phones, and thus a better battery life while preserving the performance of the device. Bad due to poor battery (iPhone XNUMX Pro Max)

    @44c7x, thanks for your comment. Apple device batteries are constantly being improved, and they are expected to be improved in future iPhone releases. As for the difference in Apple suppliers, Apple works with suppliers all over the world to manufacture its products. Have you had any problems with the battery of your iPhone 11 Pro Max? 📱😃

Luxuries, these things 😀 Instead of this, they should take care of the normal iPhone 15 screen, so it becomes 90 Hz instead of 60 Hz nonsense,,,  Sometimes it becomes stupid

    @Nasser Alzayadi, Thank you for your comment. As for improving the iPhone 15 screen, it is constantly updated and developed to meet the needs of users. As for the proximity sensor, I believe that its development in the iPhone 15 will be very useful to ensure the best user experience. Have you had any problems with the proximity sensor in previous iPhones? 📱😃

iPhone news and leaks are boring. Unfortunately, it is difficult to be impressed with a device while you keep its secrets or features. As an old technical person, there is nothing impressive in all technical magazines!
It is possible that the relative dazzling thing is only related to the Apple Watch and the addition of medical technologies in a small device that you cannot leave, and it has become more important than the iPhone for me!

blank article
It should be a paragraph in the news on the sidelines
There is nothing enthusiastic and sensitive, indeed, it was in the notch, and it did not present anything additional. Last year's barrage at the conference, they were proud that they were able to put it under the screen, so how now do they put it back in Dynamic Island?
