08 March 2022
Only the Pros will adopt the new design this year, says Ross Young. The design is described as "pill + hole", referring to the characteristic shape.

When the notch came out first and I saw photos before launch, I didn't like the concept -I thought the punch holes in Samsungs looked better in the pictures, in reality, in practice the notch is actually neater (less distracting) than most punch holes...
Now there's this! I don't think Apple will produce this exactly as shown, the lack of symmetry for the sake of about 100 pixels in between the two cut-outs won't be allowed.

    if this is true..then ppl might finally have a reason to buy iphones, imagine spending 1000+ on a phone that has a bathtub forehead 🤣🤣🤣

      I don't mind the look and my 7 is getting too old now. If you don't like the look, buy something else.

                Sonu4678, 08 Mar 2022Oh they will. They definitely will.Apple could easily do fingerprint sensors and then make one cutout

                But they want to differentitate it from other phones even if ti means cutting out more display area.

                they wont mention other brands who have smaller cut outs because it looks inferior next to Xiaomi, Samsung and Hauwei.

                Dont worry you isheep always comment on when Samsung and others copy so u cant have it both ways ;)

                  Why two different holes? Huawei and Honor managed to fit it in a single pill hole

                    Whatever they do it will sell like crazy and all the bashing from people on the internet will in the end be a good commercial for their products, nothing more.

                          Awesome. We've seen pill holes, single punch holes, and double punch holes. However, this could very well be the first pill hole and punch hole combination. Once again Apple is at the forefront of technology and leading the way in terms of unique design choices. The iPhone 14 series will be another big hit

                            They should came with a patent and called iNotch

                                  Don't underestimate the urge for Chinese OEMs to be an exact iPhone replica. Especially since Apple is currently dominating the Chinese market.

                                        If Apple decided to do a punch hole for faceID ... It's basically the same as Huawei implementation.

                                        Imho, faceID probably have more advanced tech & components compared to Huawei ... So Apple need 2 punch holes .. or else it will be a long pill hole.. lol
