We've been hearing for some time that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max might have a selfie camera drilled in place of a notch, but the latest leak suggests that instead of a small circular cutout on the screen, this is going to be in pill form.
That's according to leaker @dylandkt on Twitter, who has been right about Apple's information before, and while they don't talk about size, being pill-shaped suggests it's going to be quite a bit larger than it is. hole chamber
We've seen pill-shaped cutouts before, like on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, and they are generally twice the size of the steering wheels (as they generally have 2 lenses). In the case of the iPhone 14 Pro, there is no sign that it gets a dual-lens selfie camera, so it is likely that the auxiliary space is to house certain of the Face ID components.
I can confirm the information about a pierced camera for the iPhone 14 pro models. The Face ID hardware will go under the screen. To assuage any concerns, the functionality of these sensors has not been adversely affected by this change. January 2022, XNUMX

Hopefully there aren't too many, or it could make the camera size distracting, but there's hope, as the exact same source asserts that the Face ID hardware will go under the screen and that the Sensor functionality has not been adversely affected by this change.
So if all of this is adequate, at the very least the camera cutout would have to be significantly smaller than the current notch, but perhaps not as small as we expected, or else most of the competition. .
It's also worth noting that this change is only expected for the Pro models, with the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max supposedly still with a notch.
Analysis: a step in the right direction
This new one is slightly less promising than some of the iPhone 14 Pro leaks we've heard, but even this way it would be a big step in the right direction.
That would mean removing the notch - although its replacement is still quite large - and we would not be surprised if Apple worked to reduce the size of the camera cutout in future generations, always putting more components under the screen at all times. .
So perhaps the iPhone fifteen or iPhone sixteen ranges would have a more usual drilled hole, and perhaps we will occasionally see a switch to under-display cameras, as you get a handful of Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold three.
This technology has not yet been perfected, which is surely part of the reason why no iPhone has it, but we imagine that this is the goal of most manufacturers, including Apple.
