The smaller image processing chip is the key to the slimmer notch.

Not small enough!

      Usually until 85% the battery is charging rather quickly (depending on your charger). But between 85-100% the battery is charging very slow, no matter if you have 12W, 15W, 20W chargers. Is almost the same time between them. I am guessing it will be more or less the same with 30W chargers.

        So, 15 May 2021Its an RNM of the notch It was always like thisI don't care about the notch or lighting port.
        Make a mini-led 120Hz iPhone.

        But, sadly IOS still has some minuses for me. Nowadays I am downloading torrents (because I don't want to give my money to movie subscriptions anymore, who divided the market) and in IOS you can't use any torrent apps. Of course, there are some workarounds to this, but I don't like or have the patience for workarounds.
        Built quality and software support is better on IOS though. Even if they release a bad software (because it happens), they are trying to correct it in short time (couple of weeks, 1 month). In Android I have to wait minimum 2 months. But Android has other benefits.
        So, that's why I am using both an iPhone and an Android. I feel sorry for the haters, that will never touch an iPhone or an Android phone, just because of their negative ambition.

          It took 4 years for Apple to shrink the size of existing notch on their iPhones. Now this reduced smaller notch will continue for 4 more years before they may actually think to move on to some other alternative.

                They're going to map your face twice from different angles? It still won't solve the problem of identical twins or similar featured family members from unlocking the phone. The only safe biometric id is fingerprint.

                  Anonymous, 14 May 2021Did we wait 4 years just for this ? And we have to wait four more years for a completely completely notchless display. This year and next year....smaller notch, after that for two years...pin hole display. And then full screen display with no holes or notches.

                    Apple comments are plagued with Droids (atleast the news articles are)

                        [deleted post]Good idea.

                          why using even FaceID ? people using masks these day !
                          its a dumb idea . get rid of the notch its 2021 !

There are just so many incompatibilities with other things if you are not in the Apple ecosystem, it just makes you either use all of their devices, or not even touch any of their stuff.

                                        half of that improvement is not the vcsel but the fact that the earpiece was moved to the top like any regular android smartphone.
                                        I guess what's next is somehow putting some of those face id sensors/illuminators below the screen, like the IR camera or light sensor
