I much prefer film screen protector over the glass ones and tech armor told me they will only have them available for the 13 pro in October, I’m getting my 13 pro this Friday, I still have several 12 Pro film protector by tech armor at home, with the difference in notch size, is it problematic to install a 12 Pro screen protector on a 13 Pro?

The screen protector doesn’t cover the notch.. the entire notch area is left completely uncovered by the techarmor screen protector. The concern I had was that the notch area is a different size on the 13 Pro, so what negative effect would using a 12 pro screen protector on the 13 pro would be
