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.

    They're four years late to this "revolutionary design choice". Will dare to ask 1k€ for sure.

      -Trix-, 17 Mar 2022No the security is same, it scans new area now around eyes.... moreSo in other words that means Face ID has always been flawed.

        Maybe I am ignorant, maybe I am old school or maybe I just like the fingerprint readers better. The end results is the same, I don't like any type of facial unlocking method. And I had iPhones in the past (both with face ID and Touch ID). I will always prefer Touch ID, but I don't like the outdated design of Touch ID iPhones. So yeah, there you have it.

Also personally I would not buy a phone with an under-display selfie cam even if the technology of it was state-of-the-art, because it is much more complicated to cover without messing up your user interface

            People, this is moot lol

            Apple has stuck to this design ever since the iPhone X and they won't change it for many generations. Simple as that. The iPhone pretty much looked the same for over 10 years.

            Apple will keep this design until 2027, 10 years after the iPhone X. I'm pretty sure, given how specs and design are usually finalized WELL before their launch. Given their tech, I'm not surprised if the design and prototype of the iPhone 13 Pro were already made back in 2019 or 2018. That's the kind of specs that Androids rocked back then, just with much more crude software and less polish.

            Don't worry though. I have no doubt that once the iPhone XX or 20 or something arrives, it'll be so ridiculous that it'll blow your socks off. I'd imagine them adding iris recognition into their FaceID, or maybe even using a palm scanner in the rails or something. I'm also almost positive that they will implement FaceID into the display.

            As for now, just ignore the leakers of iPhones. They are never right (Hehe, remember the same leakers predicting the iPhone 12 and 13 to come with punch-hole selfie cams?) And what you should expect is slow upgrades here and there that make the entire experience a little sweeter the entire time.

            Sad news though. Grab these iPhones while you can because it's suspiciously generous for Apple to keep their prices at 1099 dollars/euros/pounds for so long. Yeah. I'm expecting 1499 or 1599 by the time the next leap of generation comes around.

                  Ah a great news they are going to give a full phone this time too. I thought they will sell the logo only in the box and we have to buy the body, battery, earphones separately. So lucky we are

                      Need something new to lure buyers.

                      Combining Huawei pill-shape and Samsung-hole together.

                          such innovation, i remember years back android phones had camera that moved from phone body and uninterrupted display

                            TBH, notch was way better than this

                              AnonD-1042521, 17 Mar 2022Face ID is better, but it was far from versatile. Only now ... more” I will always prefer fingerprint reader over any type of facial recognition. I don't even use facial recognition in my Android phones (not because of security reasons, but because I find it weird to use it). ”

                              Yeah we aren’t talking about Android facial recognition. We are talking about 3D face tech which works like charm. What weird is about? 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.

                              Face ID is for so much more than just unlocking your phone, something Android users never understand and that’s why they thought Apple would remove it and instead go for under screen fps years ago already, which just doesn’t happen.

That doesn’t change anything to current situation, where notch is it’s safe zone, apps doesn’t reach there except games. So no headache for app developers.
