With the iPhone X, Apple had to find a solution to put the front camera and Face ID sensors on the front of the phone, since it no longer had huge bezels. So the company “invented” the notch, which is a notch at the top of the screen where all these sensors are placed, plus a microphone and speaker. The notch has definitely become the identity of a new era of iPhone after years of devices with a home button. However, behind the scenes, Apple is looking at ways to reduce or lose the notch. Last year, the company moved the iPhone 13’s top speaker to make the notch smaller, but it’s still there.
Notch replacement for iPhone 14 Pro
Moving on to iPhone 14 rumours, early reports suggested that this year’s Pro models will feature a punch-hole front camera, which has become quite popular among Android smartphones. However, Face ID has many sensors and hiding them under the screen would be difficult. So rumors began to point to a break in pill form. Then, renders and leaked parts showed that replacing the notch would actually be a rather different solution: instead of a single pill-shaped cutout, the iPhone 14 Pro would have a combination of that cutout for the Face ID sensors and the pinhole camera. That was until this morning, when a new rumor changed everything. This new report claims that Apple will make the two separate notches on the iPhone 14 Pro screen look like a single opening. The information was later confirmed by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and 9to5Mac’s independent sources. Through a software trick, the entire cut area will look like “a wide pill-shaped cut.” Additionally, Apple plans to move the privacy icons that indicate when the camera and microphone are on to the cutout area as if they were actual LEDs. The new break will also allow the company to change the layout of some system apps to take more advantage of this area. It’s worth noting that the rumors are pretty clear that only the iPhone 14 Pro models have the new screen design. The regular iPhone 14 models are expected to retain the same notch as the iPhone 13.
