Apple reduced the size of the notch at the top of the screen with the arrival of the iPhone 13. However, in the iPhone 14 Pro, the brand should adopt a hole-punch solution, but different from what Android phone manufacturers do, with a “i”. For the iPhone 15, it should go even further.
Information from screen industry analyst Ross Young points out that, indeed, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max should adopt a pill-shaped hole in the screen and a circular one, because the Face ID technology hidden under the screen is not yet available. finished, despite being in advanced stages of development. Apparently, it is still not qualified for production for not delivering the quality expected by Apple.
Face ID under the display isn’t ready yet. It is making progress though. Although not qualified for mass production for the iPhone this year, we may see it in 2023 or 2024.

With this, the brand may end up leaving Face ID hidden under the screen for the iPhone 15, in 2023, or even the iPhone 16, in 2024, depending on advances in the development of technology. That is, even if it brings a solution that is not common, with the pill more circular hole, it is already an advance compared to the notch seen on the iPhone 13 Pro.
What to expect from the iPhone 14?
Rumors say that Apple should abandon the “mini” variant, and still launch four cell phones in 2022. That way, there would be two 6.1-inch models, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14, and two 6.7-inch models. , which for now are being called the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Max, with the latter being the biggest novelty of the year.
In addition, the more expensive devices should gain a design more inspired by the iPhone 4, with titanium sides and rear cameras without a module, with the lenses loose directly on the cell phone cover, while the front should have a perforated screen in the shape of a “i” for the front camera and Face ID sensors. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max should look like the current iPhone 13, keeping a notch at the top of the screen.
It is also possible that Apple will bring a 48 MP main sensor on the more expensive models instead of insisting on 12 MP, which should also allow support for 8K video recording for the first time on the brand’s models.
