Yes symmetry's always better, but man is this huge.
I'm torn between this and the notch. The pill has some padding up top, maybe we lose even more screen estate with it.
But leakers aren't always correct as with the Apple Watch "flat design" last year.
We’ve reached the bottom of the barrel when it comes to leaks and rumors.
What a stretch that the name will be the same - increment number 1.
It WILL be news the year they stop doing that.

Agree, I think the pill cutouts are just change for the sake of change but will provide no usability benefits over the notch.

The pill shape design looks so much better and authentic but Apple won't do it, hahah!
Damn I am liking that pill only design better.. I really don't like the pill + Circle design and feel it's more distracting than even the notch.... But this is definitely fake, every other rumor we've seen for months has the pill + Circle look... I'm surprised MR even published this.
I prefer the notch. Not this floating island. Is apple really making another iPhone I see no point upgrading to?
A photo allegedly showing a sticker tab to seal an Apple product box appears to confirm the "iPhone 14" name for the company's upcoming 2022 iPhone series. The photo was highlighted by ShrimpApplePro on Twitter, linking to a post on the Chinese social media network Weibo.
The validity of the image can't be confirmed, but it's not unusual to see images of iPhone packaging surfacing in the run-up to Apple's annual event in September. The same thing happened last year a couple of weeks before the iPhone 13 was launched, just as it did for the iPhone 12 in 2020.
As with our coverage here on MacRumors, most reliable sources have referred to the 2022 iPhone models as the "iPhone 14" series, although the naming convention Apple decides to use is never confirmed until the smartphone's official announcement, which is expected this year at Apple's "Far Out" event on September 7.
The Weibo post also claims that all the models in the iPhone 14 series will have 6GB of RAM –something analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and other sources have previously claimed – and that the Pro models will come in a white box.
The iPhone image shown in the background is also allegedly the display design, but given that all rumors point to separate pill shape and hole cutouts for the front-facing camera components on the iPhone 14 Pro models, this should be taken with a large grain of salt.
Apple is focusing on larger iPhone sizes for its flagship devices going forward, and this year we're expecting to see a 6.1-inch iPhone 14, a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max. That means there will be non-Pro and Pro variants of both phone sizes, something Apple hasn't done before. Apple is widely believed to be eliminating the 5.4-inch iPhone mini from the iPhone 14 lineup, as the iPhone 13 mini was not popular enough with customers.

My 12 Pro Max gets another year of life I guess.
This design would actually make sense. The other one with two separate holes doesn’t. The only way the two holes designs would make sense is if Apple decided they just want to stand out, no matter how ugly it is.
I think we all agree but seems like Apple wants the phones to be instantly recognizable so they have to make it different
