After using my mini for a while, I'm like 'who cares about the notch." I don't even notice it.
This is 100% happening. Been confirmed by Ross Young months ago.
Under display cameras have lousy image quality, it probably messes with the other Face ID sensors as well.
This is significant and will instantly and completely out date 13 Pro .
I ordered a 13 Pro Max recently to upgrade my Xs Max,should I cancel it? (It’s a new 2 year plan with no option to upgrade early)

I am sure that with the camera hole, call sound quality and reception will greatly improve 
I’m a iPhone 13 Pro user and the notch doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t upgrade every year and I don’t think I’d be upset if next year didn’t have a notch. I would however be disappointed if they get rid of Face ID and go back to Touch ID. I’d also be disappointed if you could tell where the under the display tech was like on some phones. I really can’t see no notch happening yet. But if Apple can do it cool.
It’s not gonna be outdated you’re still gonna have a great phone for years. Just some people might be able to tell you don’t have the 14. Plus these are all rumors. Can’t just wait for the next best thing. You’ll never upgrade.
I don’t mind this either.Welcome to the hole punch era

I really can't believe we've gotten to the point where all they can think to cell a new phone is to focus on camera improvements. Ugh.
I just don't care. The notch is more or less in unused space and FaceID is hugely valuable and works flawlessly for me.
Because of the thickness. That's why. It's the one dimension where the iPhone has an embarrassment of riches over MacBook Pros.
With this kind of thinking there'll be no end to chasing the newest and greatest since Apple will always come up with newer things to sell us. I upgraded to iPhone 13 Pro Max and it's a great device compared to my old iPhone 8 Plus, so I'm happy and content with my purchase until the next time I need to upgrade again.
False. The notch is the module for the camera equipment and sensors that always lived in that real estate but wasn't evident because of the bezel. The new MacBook Pros claimed the bezel surrounding that module as additional screen which exposed the notch.
That looks really elegant after coming from a notch, and more distinctive than a round hole. I love the idea.Welcome to the hole punch era

There have been lots of reports that Apple has been trying to get FaceID to work with under-screen components. It was likely only a matter of time before they got to this point.
The MBP camera component is pretty large. It has the camera and an ambient light sensor and another sensor for True Tone. We saw photos posted after the MBPs showed up.
It will just be like how apps handle the notch. Nothing critical will be in that area. Most apps will only show content in the safe area below the notch/punch. Video don’t extend into that area by default. Most of what goes up there is the status info.
What is new is not putting the camera in a hole punch, that could have happened earlier. The change would be if Apple is able to get a FaceID system that works well from under the display. There have been rumors that Apple was working on making that work and this would be the result.
