Kuo: iPhone 14 Pro models to replace notch with punch hole cutout

21 September 2021
They will also bring 48MP wide cameras.

Apple always at least 3 years behind Samsung. We saw this with the Galaxy S10 in early-2019. The Pixel 4a got one last year.

I'm beginning to enjoy Samsung One UI for some nifty features like toggles for wireless power share charging and screen recorder. The latter is great for getting clips of "poor-no". Even in 480p for smaller files, it still looks sharp.

Samsung is years ahead and have the infrastructure for after service support.

I think in 1 or 2 years, the quality will be like the one found in a notch or punch whole. Although one of the doctors I work with has a 7T Pro and the pop up camera works just like in the first day but he keeps that phone in a bubble LoL.

In so many years since I have been using fingerprint scaners on my phones, I never once had any problem of any kind when it comes to security. I think if there would have been something, then at least all the bank employees would have stopped using it. I am no expert but I think it's logical.

        I mean for my part I prefer bezels like on Sony phones, I dislike notches but I hate punch hole cutouts even more.

        And yes I am realistic here, we could argue that a pop up camera like on ZenFone 8 Flip or OnePlus 7 is the solution, but that brings it's own issues.

          Apple will never ever go for the punch hole design…. Might they redesign the notch on ip15 but not on 14 as the notch will be same as 13…. And apple will stick with 12 mp with improved computational photography..

Who would leave it's phone with a screen so dirty that you can actually lift up and copy a fingerprint ? And even so, you can't simply obtain a fingerprint 100% because you touch the screen several times and it gets mixed up or destroyed by the other touches especially when you are typing. Nici try anyway. made me laugh.

              After reports that Samsung under finger print scanner is not as secure as was previously thought.
              all the banks across the world dropped this technology support with Samsung and user face id instead. My own bank stated this in an update that finger print scan no longer supported due to security concerns.

                I've heard it is pill, like Samsung S10+.

                  Ah, the fruit logo company has discovered punch hole notches! Surely it will revolutionize the industry! If only Android OEMs would have invented it first, years ago!

They will not ditch Face ID so quickly as they invested a lot of money and time in that technology.

                          NAND-roid, 21 Sep 2021More secure than fingerprint scanner ?? 😂😂 good jokeIt actually is. What do you yeave plenty on your phone from using it? Fingerprints. You know what unlocks fingerprint scanners? Fingerprints. You can literally lift one from the device itself, print it in good enough quality and put it on scanner. Good luck copying a 3D shape of a face from someone remotely in any way.

                          Only exception are ultrasonic fingerprint scanners because they actually read the depth of fingerprint ridges which means you'd have to make a relief of a fingerprint on the phone which is significantly harder to do. As far as I know only Samsung uses ultrasonic scanners on their Galaxy S models.

It uses Face ID, not UD sensor which is not that good anyway. You are comparing two different technologies like they are the same. They are not the same buddy. Android phones only have selfie camera in their punch hole. There is no other sensors in punch hole except maybe for depth.

                                        I am an iPhone user but if apple remove the face id for punch hole camera ,that means that they just gone from hero to zero,iand it would mean android zombies were right,but if apple find a way to get face id under the display and only leava a punch hole for camera,that would be an eat uour heartd out zombies…or even a full display with camera and face under it…..Till than imo both android zombies and apple fan boys should stop crying here …”mine is bigger etc” no1 pays you if it Android or Ios team
