Good idea - but I wonder if/how often parts of the hand would cover parts of the bottom band?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 13 Front Glass Reveals Smaller Notch With Earpiece Relocated to Top Bezel

If you have a better idea to implement all Face ID stuff let us know, engineer...
You really think so? The bottom speaker is WAY louder than the earpiece speaker for me when viewing stereo content horizontally. So much so that I wish they wouldn't even try making it stereo, because half of the audio is half the volume and it's obnoxious.
I didn't expect the notch to change until Apple could completely remove it.
Whole punch not expected till 2023 that’s 3 models away from now. Samsung already has it
Seems like Apple is not paying enough attention to its iPhone business Majority of People not going to upgrade for a smaller notch or
120 hz or a small camera improvement

Because of stupid Face ID,in a world that fast,reliable and more convenient under screen fingerprint scanner is available (which only needs a hole punch).
Yea, it’s balanced. Of course, you could certainly have set your phone so that it’s no longer balanced.
I think the majority of people don’t have last year’s phone. Or the year before that. Or, very likely, the year before that.
There are a LOT of older iPhones out there.
Do they finally work with wet fingers?
And with tempered glass screen protectors? (ultrasonic)
Notches and lack of 120 displays are not a thing for me and I would estimate the same goes for 99% of consumers.
But glad to see improvements non the less.

I think Apple knows what they are doing. The majority of customers most likely still use an iPhone with a home button. I don’t think that notches and 120hz are with the majority of customers care about. If it was, iPhones wouldn’t be selling very well, now would they?
Samsung, and other phone manufacturers, implement hundreds and hundreds of features, not all of which are perfect.
Apple does a lot of waiting.
They’re going to wait until LTPO screens are widely available before implementing 120 Hz, that way it doesn’t take a hit to battery life or phone performance.
They’re going to wait to get rid of the notch until they can do it without any compromises, while maintaining the full security of face ID.
So to reiterate, Apple knows what they are doing.
Zoom into the image. You can see photoshopped smudge tool covering the other holes
Well, I bet 99% of consumers doesnt care at all about HZ in their screens. Probably dont know what a HZ is.
I’m more interested in the battery life than the notch size
Just get rid of the notch! Make a thin line across the whole top. I still hate zooming into photos with it, I hate not seeing battery life percentage unless I pull down control center. I hate when you're in control center there is no time. It's just annoying.
I recently moved from the 7+ to the 12 Pro Max and the only thing I don't like about the 12 is the damn notch., Well not too crazy about face id either prefer a home button fingerprint sensor
The outrage is fake. Fools on the internet who are looking to stir up controversy so they can gain attention. Ignore them.
Maybe Apple will release the iPhone 13 two months earlier this year
My thoughts exactly. Why couldn’t they center it, like they did with the 5, 5S, and original SE?
The poor sales of the mini couldn't affect this year's iPhone, because Apple plans their iPhones with several years of anticipation. The poor sales of 5.4" iPhones will affect 2022 or maybe 2023 designs, because they are now planning and designing those iPhones.
So seeing an upcoming iPhone 13 mini doesn't necessarily mean Apple is committed to the small form factor, but rather they had this one planned previously and it is a bit late to cancel it. We'll see what happens in the future. I would be happy with a 5.6" or even 5.8" iPhone. Bigger than that is unusable, at least for me.
