DI/Dynamic Island requires some persistence to retrain your task switching muscle memory etc but there is no doubt it is a superior task/app navigator. That others may copy it is not surprising. We Just need Apple and Devs to make better use of it. Easy example, if no tasks are open (DI is empty), pressing left DI goes to last app used. Right DI press opens Notification Center. And when in a single app/task, always let a DI press take you back to last screen.

In terms of DI itself, a quick point of knowledge:
-there is the iPhone notch or DI to house Apple FaceID camera system. This consists of an IR/dot blaster, a light sensor, other sensors and a camera.
-There is the vast majority of the Android world that goes with a very small hole punch to house just a camera.

Apple is going for security. FaceID will authenticate into almost anything including financial institutions. Androids are going for clean aesthetics of the display. Androids handle Security through fingerprintID. Though they may say they offer a face unlock, it is NOT secure. I don’t believe any financial institution app will allow android face unlock to authenticate into their apps. In other words without a notch or DI, you have to face fingerprintID.
If RealMe is going for secure face authentication then they’ll have to have some sort of hardware under the DI. It then only makes sense to do what Apple did and make use of the space. OTOH if RealMe is not using secure face authentication/doesn’t need a notch or DI, the iPhone 14 Pro ripoff is hilarious.
