The outlet noted that Siri's current pill-like shape on mobile differs from its orbital look on other platforms, potentially to accommodate a future reduction of the display cutout size.

Why this matters

A 35% smaller cutout would offer users more screen real estate, marking the first major evolution of the Dynamic Island since its introduction.

Confidence reason

The reporter's observation is based on UI discrepancies in public beta software and matches existing hardware rumors.
