iOS [iOS] Dynamic Island covers hotbar slots on iPhone 16 Pro Max

[chuchee93]

Device: iPhone 16 Pro Max
iOS: 27 (public release)
Game version: 1.6.15.1 (build 25156)

Issue:
In landscape orientation, the Dynamic Island overlaps the leftmost hotbar/toolbar slots, leaving those items partially hidden and hard to tap. The game doesn’t appear to respect the safe area around the Dynamic Island at this screen ratio. Additionally, the X (close) button on the top right is also cut off because of the screen ratio / safe area.

Repro steps:
1. Open Stardew Valley on an iPhone 16 Pro Max.
2. Rotate to landscape.
3. Observe the left side of the hotbar — the leftmost slots sit underneath the Dynamic Island.

Expected: The toolbar should be inset clear of the Dynamic Island.

**Update:** Disabling Vertical Toolbar in Options (controller tab) and adjusting Toolbar Padding and Menu Padding fixes the Dynamic Island covering the hotbar on iPhone. However, there is still no option to resize the energy and health bars, which get cut off by the screen edges on this device. Please add size/padding options for the energy and health bars as well.

I’m using an iPhone 17, and I sometimes find the Dynamic Island gets in the way too.

If you’re using the Vertical Toolbar, you can uncheck “Vertical Toolbar” in the settings to move the toolbar away from the Dynamic Island.

You can also adjust the toolbar position using “Toolbar Padding.” This might make the toolbar easier to use without the Dynamic Island getting in the way.

**Update**
If the Dynamic Island being on the left is causing the issue, you can also rotate the iPhone to the other side. The iPhone supports both orientations, so it might be worth trying.
When the Dynamic Island is on the left, it can sometimes overlap the toolbar or NPC dialogue. Rotating the phone so that the Dynamic Island is on the right may make the game easier to play.
