Has Kuo ever been specific and correct? He just through crap at the wall see sees what sticks.
Yes, he has many times. A lot is based on the prototypes his sources are seeing, so of course some of it doesn't make it to the final product.

Sounds very cool Apple take my money.
tridley68, finally I had to press the ignore button for you, even though your comments are very clever or entertaining sometimes: I can't stand your icon.
Images reactivate memories, and I like to get rid of.

If you have time, you can list the hit rate of Kuo's intuitions:
You can quickly see how meaningless his predictions are.

He is a charismatic guy, and these people get attention, even if they prophesy the wrong thing again and again. But one also learns and matures from such people. Mostly more than from 50/50 guessers.

That's why it's stimulating that there are Kuos everywhere. And always clear how people react or fall for him.

Like full self-driving, it’ll be any day now for years to come. FSD, as far as I’m concerned, is a car sold with no steering wheel. Not a car that drives slowly and diagonally awkwardly across a car park. It’s also something I personally have no real interest in. But that’s another conversation.
FSD is the "flying cars" of this generation. It will be *decades* before a car with no steering wheel is driving the streets of Manhattan. Outside of closed campuses and specially designed neighborhoods, FSD is a pipe dream
 
The timing doesn't make sense from a tooling perspective. They just reduced the size of the notch for the 13, now the 14 is supposed to have the pill, now that 16 with nothing at all? That's a lot of changes to the manufacturing process in a small amount of time.

Apple usually makes changes only every 2 years which allows them to recoup the costs of changing the machinery for each new lineup. My guess is we'll see the same small notch on the 14, then 15 will have the pill, then 17 would have nothing, if that's even possible.

The only complication would be if they decide to make the non-pro and pro screens different, so the pro 14 has the pill and non-pro 14 has the notch.

Kuo with more nonsense. This ain't it.

Remember; Apple doesn't do anything first. No one else has pulled it off, so it isn't happening.
by 2024 it will be on other android phones including the latest ultra model from Samsung.
 
I would like to see Apple focus on the design of iPhones like reducing the weight by using lighter stronger material and making the camera bump less of an eyesore or completely eliminating it than anything else.
That’s so NOT the direction Apple is going, everything is thicker, heavier, and looks ordinary these days. Light and thin left with Ivy. Some people love the new builds. Me, not so much.
 
by 2024 the tech will certainly be more mature and be ready by then hopefully.
The technology already exists today, Samsung uses it presently on some of its high end phones. While the method Samsung uses has drawbacks such as image capture quality from the camera and uses AI to increase image quality their are not considering other options or maybe their have and it will be rolled out in a later upgraded product. Apple it seems is following the marketing angle to milk the all screen final destination which makes dollars and cents. I suspect the pill-and-dot will be on the iPhone 14 Pro while the iPhone 14 retains the smaller notch introduced on the 13. When iPhone 16 is released the Pro models will receive all-screen while the non-Pro models receive the pill-and-dot.

All-screen is also possible on the Mac laptop line but for whatever reason it seems the notch design was probably closer to mass production or the whole milking technology Apple so very much loves.

It does not really matter to me, but the iPad Pro proves the notch is not necessary.
 
Not a massive incentive to upgrade to be honest and so far away. Makes me wonder what they are going to add for 2022 & 2023 that will be worth even considering. Cost of living crisis tells me to just stick with what I’ve got already anyway!
 
Ross Young says 2026.

I think 2026 might be the year. 2022/23 might be Pill+Hole. 2024/25 for just the hole cutout and from 2026 onwards all screen. This gives 2 years for each design.

Ha! Someone on YouTube summoned their—guess the brand—car out of their garage and it steered itself too far left and scraped the side of the car off the garage door frame. The worst part was listening to the people defending the brand and blaming “the driver”. They all need their heads examined.

iPad Pro bezels are thick enough to contain/hide FaceID while the bezels on an iPhone are a fraction of the thickness of both the FaceID system and iPad Pro bezels. Seems like a arithmetic and possibly a public school failure, I feel sorry for you.

I guess they teach weak attempts at ad hominems instead of context these days? It was extremely clear my response was to the portion of the comment that said:

"All-screen is also possible on the Mac laptop line but for whatever reason it seems the notch design was probably closer to mass production or the whole milking technology Apple so very much loves."

Definitely an education failure, but it is not the one you claim.
