When I just Google it to find you a well phrased, concise description I came across this YouTube video from Apple and what they call it:
Welcome to a shape-shifting, multitasking, head-turning, game-changing iPhone experience. Dynamic Island blends fun and function like never before There you have it, if Steve Jobs were still around he would have waited to the end of the presentation and then said that there is one more thing and it's like magic. A somewhat less flamboyant description can be found in the below Apple support article: On iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, you can check alerts and current activity in progress—such as music that’s playing, your timer, an AirDrop connection, and directions from Maps—in the Dynamic Island on the Home Screen or in any app. The Dynamic Island appears whenever your iPhone is unlocked. I believe as of iOS 16.2 or maybe it's just now as of the recently released iOS 16.3 Apple is making this area also available to developers to display stuff from their apps, for example Uber could use it to display when your ride is arriving etc. For now only available on iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, rumours are that next year it will come to all iPhone 15 models.

The bright side is now I have a 100% reliable method of hitting the status bar. I ended up adding a battery widget to my lock screen because I got sick and tired of trying to check my battery in the status bar and missing. If I didn't just buy a pair of air pods, I could remove that widget now. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com>> On Behalf Of Steve Matzura Sent: January 25, 2023 8:47 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Welcome to Dynamic Island A couple weeks ago there was some talk on this list about VoiceOver saying "coupon" in certain situations. Well, here's another mystery VoiceOver thing to add to the list. I just activated an iPhone 14 Pro Max with iOS 16.3, and in several places I have heard it say "Dynamic Island empty." It says it on the lock screen and on the status line between the cell carrier information and the Wi-Fi network status information.
