iPhone 13 Pro Max Dummy Model Depicts Smaller Notch

Why? Any iPhone 12 owner can upgrade if they choose to do so.
MKBHD is easily my fav of the Apple Product Review ‘tubers.
Not sure I recall a mock-up that looks as well crafted.
Bought my son a 12 Pro. I'll wait. I tend to buy my phones out right and keep them until something comes along and makes me want to buy an upgrade.
Yeah I mean a notch is a notch, shrinking it a little won't make me want to buy it more lol
Because the notch is annoying and always has been. It's amazing how people don't want a completely full screen without obstruction on their phone. This smaller notch is still a notch, though. Seems pointless. Can't wait for them to figure out how to cram all that tech under the screen.
I would like a full screen. However, I am understanding that at this moment in time, technology hasn't quite caught up with MR desire. As such, I don't even think about the notch.
i watched the videos. really interesting stuff! also watched his response to the escobar phone reaction and uh . . . wow.
It's a step in the right direction compared to android full screen designs. I went from the X to the 12 pro and was hoping for a smaller notch that time around. I will hold onto the 12 pro for another notch change which at this point seems like iPhone 15.
Cellphone market has matured for the standard phone design (compared to the foldable which seems a few years away from mainstream adoption) and apple will stretch the standard iPhone design sales as much as possible.
I would welcome smaller bezels. A smaller bezel trick (that fools my eyes maybe not others) is a glass screen protector that doesn't quite go edge to edge. The light from the screen lights up the edges of it and gives it the appearance go smaller bezels compared to the true size (stupid, maybe... but works for me).

I would take a full screen no notched phone, but the notch never has bothered me, so anything smaller is a bonus. I think it’s amazing how many people are annoyed/dislike the notch so much. It was a design compromise that gave us an amazing bit of tech so it wasn’t for looks and the way the screen around the notch was utilized for time, battery, WiFi/Cellular signal strength make for a usable space there. If I’m honest, I thought the notch was neat insofar as it immediately distinguished iPhones design wise when so many phones look alike.
Wait... why do people hate this guy? Because he was the first one to really publish feedback on the instability of the iPhone 5 design?
I mean come on people, I love apple products, I buy apple products... but it's not a religion. Sheesh.

I don't think he's ever been forgiven for being the first to point out the inherent fragility of the iPhone 6 when it was released. His channel subscriber numbers exploded when he was basically snapping iPhone 6's like fortune cookies with his bare hands and almost no effort.
Heaven forbid he should offend the Apple faithful by pointing out to consumers that the premium product they are paying for is poorly engineered garbage.
And it's not like Apple knowingly sells poor quality designs or anything – I mean they've never repeated it, have they? /s
iPad Pro models in 2018 that were bent out of the box but Apple said it was normal; "touch disease" on said iPads that never seems to be acknowledged or fixed; four years of butterfly keyboards on laptops that were so broken they needed to be part of a repair program while still on sale; Mac Pro trashcans sold for 6 years that are so poorly cooled they burn their non-standard graphics cards out; Mac Minis with Bluetooth that simply cannot sustain a connection; M1 Macs that cannot reliably wake external monitors...etc etc.
+1, agreed. Also how about no camera bump, either? That’s the ONLY thing stopping me from swapping my iPhone SE (2016, the One True SE) for the latest model. They finally tossed that horrendous iPhone 6 body with rounded edges and went back to the flat edges, and made the mini size as it should be. I was ready to go for iPhone 12 mini, but nope... camera bump. Boo.
Notch is kinda dumb, too... just make it the whole bezel and stop trying to be “clever” with corner swipes. Sheesh. Unnecessary complexity for no real gain.
Yes I understand why they're needing to do it. So it's a necessary thing at the moment. There's a lot more than just a pinhole camera there like other phones. I watch a lot of content and play games on the go and the notch on the side the screen is very annoying. I don't care about my phone looking distinguished.
I think about it every time I watch a movie or play a game and the notch is there. It's like having something on the TV that you can't remove.
This shill is a scammer. Who remembers when he began that scam claiming to give away hundreds of iPhones for subscribing to his channel? He showed a pickup full of empty iPhone boxes, which were actually just made on a printer. Well he got the subscribers, and none of them received their promised iPhone. He quickly deleted the videos promoting the giveaway and would ban people that commented about it.
Or what about the “Later Case” fiasco, when he copied the design of a phone case he reviewed on his channel, and sold it as his own. This company paid him $5000 to ”review” it. Lew then removed the original review and banned people that commented about how he copied the case he was sent for review.
He’s a loser.

And you’re posting this on a rumor website. I’m not sure what you expected to find here?
Wait - he called out a flaw in the product and that’s what turned you off? Would you rather he didn’t point it out and the iPhone still used the same flimsy metal?
