There’s a new rumour going around that Apple will soon be removing the top-notch on its iPhone models. Apple analyst Ming chi Kuo claims that in 2023 new iPhones will feature an under-display Face ID system that will do away with the current notched design.
The facial recognition system is also said to be accompanied by a new telephoto lens that will increase the iPhone’s photo capabilities. Kuo also said that it is entirely possible that the notch design to be replaced by a more subtle “punch-hole” design with the 2022 iPhones. Since the arrival of the iPhone X, the notch at the top of displays has served to house the TrueDepth camera system that powers Face ID on devices now.
