Lately, we have been hearing a lot about the iPhone 14 Series that is scheduled to launch later in 2022, and it appears that the devices will come with some major changes which were expected to happen in the future iPhone models.
In the latest development, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, in his latest Power On Newsletter, has claimed that the iPhone 14 Series models will not feature a notch for housing sensors.
Instead, the phones will have a pill-shaped cutout on top of the screen.
Earlier, Apple had said that the notch was necessary to house the sensors needed for the selfie shooter as well as the Face ID feature.
It will be interesting to see how the Cupertino-based tech giant manages to pack everything in a tiny space.
Prior to this new report from Mark Gurman, Korea-based publication The Elec had also claimed that the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will come with a punch-hole cutout on the screen instead of a notch.
Even Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed that iPhone 14 models have a punch-hole cutout. These multiple reports about the same thing almost confirm this development.
Apple had first introduced the notch with the iPhone X and since then, it has largely remained unchanged, it houses the TrueDepth camera array which includes an infrared camera, a flood illuminator, a front camera, and a dot projector.
Reports also point that Apple iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Max will continue to offer the notch but the Pro models in the series will come with a new pill-shaped punch-hole cutout for the front sensors.
Some rumors also claim that the company may adopt a laser-based time-of-flight architecture for Face ID while other rumors indicate a unibody lens design that will help the company reduce the size of the front camera module.
