There have been conflicting rumors about the new design of the phone, but it is widely expected that the notch will be removed. There were rumors that Apple would use a hole-punch design with Face ID, and that there would be a pill-shaped cutout instead.
Ross Young, a display industry consultant, has claimed that the next generation of the Apple device will have hole-punch and pill-shaped cutouts near the top of the display. Young said the hole is for the Face ID dot projector, while the pill-shaped cutout is supposed to hold the front camera and other sensors.
ShrimpApplePro shared a potential design in September, but the leaked image shows a different view of the display. The cutout is said to be on the left and on the right.
We think Apple will have a hole on the Pro and Pro Max models. The two hole concept will be unique to Apple, like the notch, not similar to all the pill models from HUAWEI.
The hole is believed to be for the projector. Ross Young wrote about a pill for selfies and IR cameras.
Some rumors claimed that Face ID would not be under the display for the iPhone 14 Pro models.
The 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch versions of the iPhone will likely be announced in September. The 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 and 14 Max models are expected to have a notch.
Young is a reliable source of information for Apple products. He claimed last year that the new iPad mini would have an 8.3-inch display with the home button removed. He was the first to report that the MacBook Pro would have ProMotion displays.
