TooMuchTimeOnMyHand, 21 Sep 2021Sure buddy, but how many Android phones has a punch hole an... moreDo you think iphone with one punch hole will work with face id?? Lol face id require true depht camera, dot projector and infrared camera and flood illuminator. You think i’ll work with only 1 camera?? Or under the screen?? Lol if apple adopt punch hole camera, it will be coupled with under button fingerprint scanner, a 2016 technology 😂😂

Doesn't mean I prefer a notch however, it's that I hate the punchhole more.

I think the only times Kuo was wrong is when he said iPhones were getting USB-C which still hasn't happened yet but MacBooks and iPads already have it.
If Apple plans to release a flip phone, I still wouldn't get one. They would need to copy Samsung's Flex mode to convince me. After using a Razr 5G for nearly 5 days, I prefer Flex from the Flip 3. An iPhone Flip just opening and closing like a Razr just isn't as useful. I prefer it shaped like this.. < > when walking. Like a boomerang. Unfolded and it's too tall.
The more I use my Razr, the more annoyed I get. It's just not comfortable to hold for long periods. Edges are too sharp. But I'll still keep it because it gets people's attention and I want to make iPhone users jealous that their brand is so behind the times. Samsung brought split-screen years before Google officially did by Nougat (2016). Their UI is refined. Apple still needs some time to refine it.

In contrast to common believe Samsung actually dont care about Apple devices or its market share as lots of money came from them, OEMs wars really exist only on comment sections and forums, out there in real world money is talking and it saying that Apple just wait when Samsung polish its folding technology so they can make business together as always.

AnonD-1018819, 21 Sep 2021It's a possibility and not a far fetched one. You'... moreIf you use only fingerprint to secure important things you deserve to be robbed, the same with face, as you dont need 3D shape of it to unlock phone. If someone really want to get to your data it will not use front-end method as user, but even that is possible just by applying texture face masking on dummy model.
Anyone with brain will use two-method verification or authorization keys, you can use fingerprint for phone unlock, heII you can even use smart keys for that, like smartwatch or smartband so you can unlock it quickly only when its two devices are close but to secure other apps and informations you use two-method verification or keys.

I trust Ming-Chi Kuo. He's 75% accurate. I trust him and Jon Prosser. Kuo was two years ahead on the iPhone X in 2017. I heard about it from him in late-2015. Kuo doesn't make pie in the sky predictions. He's usually spot on.

Omg first of all if Apple were to go for the punch hole setup it would be more controversial than the notch😅
And I'm glad they're probably gonna remove the mini it didn't sell great anyway...
I would buy a 14 max🤔

I predict flip phones will be popular again because Apple will release a flip phone. They dictate mass market adoption no matter how slow they change things up. They really can't release an Apple Fold because iPad OS is different and it will take away from their iPad sales.

Apple has some patent on flexible displays that allows them to have equally narrow bezels on all sides, unlike all Android smartphones other than the Pixel 5 that all seem to have some form of a chin.
Pretty bullish of Apple, and you can bet they'll make a big deal out of it in the 14's launch presentation.

Some will just say they hate a punch hole to justify their purchase of whatever iPhone they bought the last 4 years. Same ones saying foldables are worthless and a gimmick will start singing praises for it once Apple finally releases one.

Most people use thumb to unlock and also use thumb to contact display the most. Thumb is also a gripping finger which means it's often not the one smudging fingerprints unlike index finger which is often dragged across surfaces. Where do you leave an imprint of your face in 3D shape? Even vague shape of it? Nowhere.

What people seem to not understand is that the only reason that apple still has that big notch is because of the sensor for the FaceID. Based on one of the articles here there might be a possibility that Apple has combined or still combining their camera with their sensor for FaceID
I swear to god half of the people who comment here do not think.

Under display touch id…..!!! Kuo is wrong this time.. under display touch id is sooo unsecured, they might go for the side touch id on power button
