Now that people are getting their hands on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, many are discovering the intricacies of the Dynamic Island. While the snippet offers new integrations for first-party support, Dynamic Island lacks integrated support for Reachability in its current state.
However, the iOS 16.1 beta proves that it can change that.
In iOS 16, the current position of the Dynamic Island does not change when the top half of the screen is lowered while using the Reachability feature. However, it was discovered by @thetech-up on Twitter that the position of the Dynamic Island changes when using Reachability in the iOS 16.1 beta.
In iOS 16.1, it runs with accessibility and works as usual! Weird this wasn’t straight from 16 pic.twitter.com/Vklsy58YAp

Of course, when the dynamic island is moved, the reduced camera notch remains intact at the top of the screen. However, all the activity offered by Dynamic Island is moved to the bottom half of the screen. This makes touch and hold available.
Apple began to integrate Reachability as its displays became larger in size. The Reachability option allows users to be able to bring the top half of the screen down to the bottom. This has become a key accessibility feature for those who can’t access everything the 6.1-inch display has to offer.
To enable Apple’s accessibility feature, users need to navigate to the Settings app and the Accessibility menu. Next, you need to enable the “Accessibility” option. Once enabled, users can simply swipe down on the bottom edge of the screen to minimize the top half. This is applicable to all iPhones with Face ID. For those devices with a Home button, users can lightly double-tap the Home button.
It’s unknown why Dynamic Island doesn’t support Reachability in the current version of iOS 16. However, it’s great to see Apple quickly address the issue.
