iPhone 14 Pro depicted in renders with a pill and hole design instead of a notch

17 March 2022
The pill fits the wider hardware of Face ID, while the punch hole is for the single selfie camera.

I don't know what that user was talking about then. Remembering usernames/passwords is an archaic feature. People use it long before the Face ID exists.

I would call it magical instead, for example if i go to website which have personal information or usename and passwords to fill, my iPhone does that automaticly because it knows it’s me, it doesn’t need any interaction from me."
              This is what you said. Maybe you don't understand that remembering usernames/passwords is a standard feature. It has nothing to do with Face ID.

                Face ID doesn't automaticly sign you in, just like i already said couple of times that you don't get it.

                      why not just make slightly bigger centered pil? this is just stupid to have instead one screen obtrusion two of them just to stand out as uniquely stupid solution

                        This does not look good. They should've just made the entire system into one big pill instead of putting screen 'area' between the pill and hole. Would've looked much better. As it stands I prefer the notch.

It's about the insecurity of signing you in automatically without your consent and not respecting what you want. Just because you visit a website, it doesn't mean that you want to sign in.

                            Oh boy. They were claiming that a notch is better than a pill or circular cutout. Now they'll blindly defend this design too. Those "Users" are better programmed than the phones.

                              It was the same case when Apple released iPhone X. I remember Xiaomi released Mi 8 after that. Even the Face ID technology was similar inside it. Not to mention the design.
                              But after that, they forget about it and moved on. Xiaomi Mi 9 looked totally different.

It was always the case with Apple. That is why they do not want to make punch holes now (because majority of phones have them).
                                But, sadly for them, they didn't come out with something revolutionary, so they probably will use this ugly "pill + hole" thing instead. Yeah, different, but not necessarily better.

                                        Ugly? Mark my words, soon tons of android phones will be copying this design if it turns out to be true.

                                        Then we will have a ugly contest again. Or blind fanboys will praise how pretty it is.
