We have heard for some time that Apple is about to abandon the notch and follow the path of Android smartphones this year with the iPhone 14 Pro models by using a hole in the screen for the front camera, and hiding'Other components face ID under the screen, like what Samsung did with the camera of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 on the main screen.
The last time we heard this rumor corroborated by another source was a few days ago, but now the source restored an alleged panel of the iPhone 14 Pro Max and reveals what the real Apple intentions could be for aphone design without notch.
The last time we heard, Apple was supposed to use a large hole in the shape of a pill where we assumed that the components face ID, like the infrared camera and the point illuminator, will be housed.In fact, according to some rumors, Apple would use both the pill -shaped hole and a circular cut in the screen to house everything that is now housed in the notch of the iPhone.
It turns out that Apple actually intends to use an elliptical hole, in the same way that, let's say, Samsung has a double front camera of the S10 series, but it will house the selfie camera, while a holecircular dedicated on its right side will be for a component Face ID.Here is the supposed panel of the iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max, seen from the back, to illustrate the configuration.
The icing on the cake is that the round hole is supposed to be reflective, as on the Z Fold 3, and shelter the point projector of the face ID technology under the screen, so that the only thing you will see while looking atDirectly the screens of the iPhone 14 Pro/Max, will be the pill -shaped cutting.This will house the front camera, and it is a good thing that Apple does not hide it under the panel, because the front cameras under the screen have proven that they still have lengths to travel before catching upOpen goal front cameras.
A first change from the iPhone X
In fact, the source says that there could be a new front camera on all iPhone 14 models, because the one in the elliptical hole of the pro series, and cut in the "refined" notchFrom the iPhone 14 and 14 max, would be larger than on the series of iPhone 13, and would resemble those which bear objectives at ultra-large angle.
Thus, users of the iPhone 14 will be able to bring many more people into the context when they take selfies, and the precision of face ID technology could also be improved.It remains to be seen which component Face ID will be capricious enough to need a accommodation next to the front camera in the elliptical cut instead of going under the screen.
Unfortunately, those of you who hoped that complaints would be some models of iPhone 14 modules Face ID and Touch ID will be disappointed.Anyway, the main thing is once again that the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will most likely change the Apple notch design for the first time since the introduction of the iPhone X therefor a long time.
