The notch that arrived with the iPhone X in 2017 may not make it to the entire 2020 iPhone lineup, according to reports based on recently published patents as well as iPhone information. within the supply chain. LetsGoDigital suggests that the patents and leaked data collected indicates that the high-end 2020 iPhone has a front display without a notch, with Touch ID moved below the screen and Face ID abandoned. That leaves the question of where the selfie camera will be on the iPhone 12: it will need to sit below the screen like the fingerprint sensor, or wrap inside the small bezel on the sides of the screen. Images from a patent filed by Apple in Japan on December 23 show an iPhone without a notch, and in fact it's been a rumor that's been around for months. Apple is definitely looking to ditch the notch, it's just not clear when this will happen.
(Image credit: Apple/LetsGoDigital) Several sources previously reported that Apple wanted to put a selfie camera and under-display fingerprint sensor in future iPhones, but we're not sure if this technology will be ready in time for iPhones. 2020. Phone makers are getting to the stage where this kind of technology is possible, but this is just the beginning, and image quality (not to mention facial recognition capabilities) will likely take a hit. Other manufacturers, including Samsung, would plan in-display cameras for future flagships, while some existing phones use pop-up selfie cameras to keep the front screen as uncluttered as possible. Despite these recent leaks, we expect at least some of the iPhone 12 phones to retain the familiar notch, though one model may have a smaller notch or no notch at all, as Apple is experimenting. with Touch ID on the screen.
