I think they will do that too. I changed one of the renders to look like that. It looks kinda weird with the status info floating next to the cutout. I think it may look better with the wallpaper instead. I don't know though, it'll be interesting to see what apple actually end up doing.

More likely than not if this is the design of the device they will force black out the background of that device status bar area so that it's blended and seamless.
*CRAP should have read further down.*
I agree. Apple has a looooonnnng history of not revealing details about their upcoming products. And at this point, the hardware might be locked in but the software probably isn't. The rumors will continue all the way until the day the phones are announced. Hopefully getting more accurate but until the phone is released you can't state anything as fact.
As it's now been a while since I first saw this design with it's unusual cutout at the top of the screen, I've grown to like it.
It sounds like construction wise it's basically gonna be like a full screen 4S, glass front and back with a steel frame.
For durability, I prefer the metal backs to be honest, but understand the issues with that and wireless charging. I hope at least it is a steel frame and not aluminium for strength.
The steel is also marginally less slippy in the hand.

Wrong. And what's considered an "Original leak"? Leaks are not original based on unverified photo's or renders. There is no such thing. It's all speculation until its been proven otherwise. Hence, why this is a rumored website.

Every time Same concept with awful camera earpiece cutout. No original leak

This camera ^^^and ^^^earpiece cutout from display looks awful.Hope Apple has something way nicer planned.
imagine the left and right sides have a black background exactly matching the depth of the cut-out, so it looks like a solid band across the top - and put some of the system notifications in there - cell signal, battery etc.
I hope the final result won't be cut out like that - its ugly and it could be tricky for apps to support. Reserving that for the system makes more sense IMO.
This is a nice concept, but could you do a cutout at the top of the screen so we know that the screen really goes from bottom to top?
/s
Isn't it kind of time to stop saying things like this? “Apple would NEVER...” etc. I used to have complete faith in their aesthetics as well, but the last few years...
iOS continues to get clunkier, less user-friendly and cluttered, the new big fonts are an abysmal design choice, the new CC is murder on the eyes, and even little tweaks and swipes sometimes seem to go against any intuitive rhyme or reason. For me...Apple including that top cut-out would be one of the least surprising things they've done lately LOL.
how does the integrated under the screen home button work?
Say you are running a full screen app (games, for example), how does it function if you have a dead area in the screen?
I could just see some shyster website somehow putting the button labeled "I do not agree" over the fingerprint sensor to "pay me $100" or similar arrangement.
Could the front facing camera area be the home button/fingerprint sensor?

Now that you mention it, I wonder if that's why they reverted to the signal bars in iOS 11... to save space?
Totally. That seems to be the consensus....I guess we'll find out in a few months
Makes much more sense to me now but what happens to the time....surely they're not removing it?
Yes I was joking. Anything you see right now is- A) Somebody's guess. B) An intentional false leak by Apple. C) A real preliminary design concept that isn't what the final product will look like. D) Real and deal with it. If someone on here knows for certain they aren't going to say.
That's what I wonder too; i can't help but imagine a larger clock at the top much like the lock screen; especially as reaching the top row of icons on a bigger screen isn't easy for everyone. Time will tell...
It's possible of course, but then wouldn't it just look like a thicker bezel, which they're supposedly trying to avoid?
What does physics have to do with not liking protruding cameras or ghastly antenna bands or being allowed to comment on an open forum?
they can just do it temporarily - eg on the home screen or in an app. Then the lock screen or other views could be 'full screen' to show off your wallpaper etc.
