A reliable leaker has noted that Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 14 Pro could feature a pill-shaped camera cutout at the top of the display as well has have the notch removed. To accommodate this change, the leaker said Face ID hardware will be moved under the display.
The notion of moving the Face ID component under the display has been rumored previously by display industry consultant Ross Young, who has proven to be a reliable source of display-related information for future Apple products. Last year, Young accurately claimed that the new iPad mini would feature an 8.3-inch display with the home button removed.
According to @dylandkt, moving Face ID under the screen would not affect the feature’s reliability.
Apple is rumored to be planning a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max for release in September of this year. The lineup is also expected to include a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, and as of now it appears that these models will continue to have a notch, with a pill-shaped camera cutout limited to Pro models.
Last year, @dylandkt shared accurate information about products like the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro before they were released.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
