Apple is working on the next-generation iPhone models and there have been reports about some major changes coming to the upcoming smartphones, especially in terms of display and the phone’s design.
Till now, it was said that the iPhone 14 Pro models will get rid of the notch and will instead have a punch-hole cutout for the front-facing camera while the sensors for the Face ID feature could be hidden behind the screen. Now, reports claim that Apple has opted for a design with two cutouts on top of the screen.
A new report coming from Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants, who has a good track record with leaks, reveals that the Apple iPhone 14 Pro will have one pill-shaped cutout and another punch-hole cutout for the sensors.
This will be the first time Apple will get rid of the notch for the front-facing sensors since the launch of the iPhone X in 2017. Since then, the company did make some very minor changes to the notch. For instance, the notch on the newer iPhone 13 series is a bit shorter in length than its predecessors.
Apple is expected to launch four models in the lineup, including iPhone 14 with a 6.1-inch screen, iPhone 14 Max with a 6.7-inch display, iPhone 14 Pro with a 6.1-inch display, and iPhone 14 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch screen.
If the reports are to be believed, then the iPhone 14 Pro models will come with a punch-hole cutout for housing the front-facing camera instead of the notch on top of the screen. Apart from that, the devices are expected to come with upgraded camera configuration as well as display features and processing.
As for the pricing, recent rumors indicate that the iPhone 14 Pro will start at $1,099 while the Pro Max will have a starting price of $1,199. However, the standard iPhone 14 model is expected to have the same starting price of $799, similar to its predecessor.
