The updated Control Center offers much better contrast between interface elements and background content. Users...
Apple plans to remove the Dynamic Island from future iPhones through a two-step process. Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman reports the company will shrink the black oval area on iPhone screens next year.

This change represents the first phase of Apple's screen redesign strategy.
The second phase arrives in 2027 with the 20th anniversary iPhone model. Apple aims to create a completely uninterrupted display without any visible cutouts or interruptions. The anniversary phone will feature curved glass edges and minimal borders around the screen. Gurman previously described this device as...
