I like the fact that Apple didn't change the camera layout on the back of the iPhone at all. Now people think I have the way-cool-bitch'n iPhone 13 Pro. Thanks Tim!/s 😁

iPhone 14 Unlikely to Rely on Hole-Punch Design Entirely and May Keep Notch, No Under-Screen Touch ID, Leaker Claims

I honestly don’t see them keeping the notch forever though just because. It is already outdated and has aged like milk. They never wanted it there in the first place, as I said the only reason it’s there is because it wasn’t and still isn’t yet technically possible to have it under the display out of the way. Once that is possible then it’s bye bye lil notch.
Yah, the Garmin Fenix is a poor device for Apple Pay & unlocking your iPhone. It's horses for courses!🤣
Apple can put Touch ID on the power button like the iPad and the notch most of us are already are use to it.. I personally don’t like the hole punch I think thats its more of an eyesore than a notch on the top of the screen..
I wont buy another iPhone until it either has touchID or my iPhone 8 dies completely leaving me no choice
You don't need to find the earpiece, why would you? I do not have sight in my ears so I don't need a visual cue to place it correctly.
This would work well with what some have predicted they'll do going forward - full redesigns every three years, primarily focusing on updating internals and hardware components during those three years.
That also has to be a huge help logistically for manufacturing.

I don't believe any change next year as apple spent time & effort engineering to make notch smaller its don't make sense if they only use it for one year.

The notch has only every bothered me when I've wanted to watch a show/movie on the phone. That isn't very often.
The notch is going to stay. It’s part of the styling and thus branding now.
it you show a screen outline with a notch it’s immediately recognisable as an iPhone. Conversely if I see a hole punch I immediately think Samsung.
it’s the same reason coca cola bottles are the shape they are. With zero branding or colour you can tell immediately what it is.

I can’t imagine that Apple would make their flagship phones look like copies of 3 year old Androids. The notch will probably be with us until cameras can be put under the screen without a material loss of quality.
What?? You mean Apple wasn't going to introduce a body redesign removing the camera bump, remove the notch, add in-screen Touch ID alongside Face ID, improve the cameras, increase battery life, change to USB-C and increase performance in a year over year upgrade?
It's almost as if every new iPhone gets ~3 core new features, and has been that way since the first iPhone...This year we got 120hz, camera improvements, battery improvements. The biggest technological leap the iPhone had was from the 7 -> X with new body design, OLED, Face ID, better cameras (Front and back)..so basically 4 core feature upgrades. But that also came with the largest price hike to $1k.

Quite frankly, I don't see a major redesign next year either. I think they use the flat edges, massive camera housing, and perhaps an even smaller notch next year. I don't know what features they can add next year other than TouchID in the power button and/or USB-C charging port that would be enticing as an upgrade. We got ProMotion, amazing cameras, amazing batteries, and incredible performance with the 13 Pro.
I have also been really suspect of these design leaks that show cameras flush with the body...has anyone seen how damn big the cameras are on the 13 Pros and how far they stick out? No way Apple makes that disappear next year.

I hate my wife’s 12 because Face ID is ridiculously intrusive and unreliable. So there.
I don't care about any of that.
Just get rid of those big ugly cameras.
Unless their goal is this

I made the same upgrade as you (11 Pro to 13 Pro) and honestly there’s no difference in how I hold the new model. I think you’re exaggerating.
11/12/13 pro the same. I don't see how the 13 pro more difficult to hold. Its U.
