A leaker named pdfu has shared a video demonstrating Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro feature: a three-item Dynamic Island in iOS 27. This is the first video showcasing the new functionality, which mirrors details reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman earlier. The Dynamic Island, with three simultaneous Live Activities, is already supported in iOS 27, according to pdfu.
The leaker emphasized that the new mode requires a sensor region less than 100 layout points wide, or below 16.57mm for implementation. The sensor region on the current iPhone 17 Pro, in comparison, measures 20.76mm, indicating Apple would need to shrink the hardware by approximately 20% to unlock this new software feature. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max have been rumored to have a smaller Dynamic Island for months, but this is the first report of the device supporting a third Live Activity.
The iPhone 14 Pro launched in 2022, and the Dynamic Island has only previously supported two Live Activities; expanding to three seems like a promising demonstration of the benefits of reducing the region.
