Kuo: Some 2022 iPhones to Abandon Notch in Favor of 'Punch-Hole' Display

A punch hole SE with LCD screen and under display Touch ID is the most likely outcome of thIs rumor.
Apple isn't new to upselling so it'll only be available on the costlier iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models.
Only those that want a week-long battery life on a single charge will notice and complain about it constantly...
I hope this is wrong. Give me a notch or forehead over Swiss cheese screen any day of the week. 🤦♂️
Did you even read the article? Half of these comments seem like they only read the headline. They likely wouldn’t do away with Face ID, it’s too secure. If anything, my guess is they found out a way to get it under the screen (with the main camera poking through for best clarity)
The amount of times I see mi7chy having an anti Apple reply and then I7guy with a pro Apple reply on the same page is getting to me , maybe one of you can change their name to i5 ? its sad that I can actually identify a poster in this forum , and also know what will be the context of the respond...... damn pandemic.
i think the whole-punch approach has some limitations over the notch though, no?
I'm guessing they will probably keep Face ID + Touch ID for the Pro models, leaving the regular ones only with Touch ID.
Again, glad to know that you work for Apple, so you know exactly what their capabilities are.
Again, if anyone would read the actual article, there is absolutely *nothing* about removing Face ID.
It’s not going anywhere. It’s one of their flag ship security features, they’re not going to remove it. If they can make it smaller, then they will make it smaller. If they can’t, then they won’t.
Price, difficulty of manufacturing, availability of smaller components, High risk with little to no reward.
You get mask friendly Touch ID with hole punch plus you can authenticate without looking at it like when driving so that's an advantage. How do you figure it has limitation?
Can any of you people read? There is absolutely nothing saying that they’re removing face ID on any of the models.
NOTHING!!!
They have talked about making the notch smaller, they have talked about turning it into a hole punch. What they haven’t talked about is removing a feature.
For the millionth time, if this rumor is true, this will have no effect on The functionality of face ID.
I predicted Apple would kill off 3D Touch before it happened. Face ID/notch because we'll be wearing mask into 2022 if not longer and Touch Bar are next.
I gave my wife a 12 for Valentines day and every time I try to use that phone I notice the notch and absolutely hate it. It is one thing that keeps me on my 8+.
If the 2022 models have a punchout I will buy. Now I know I will keep the 8 for 18 months more.
I think its less fanboys than don't care boys!
The notch just doesn't bother me and I don't care!
Guess it depends how much you're wearing a mask and/or if you have an apple watch.
I don't wear a mask that much and I have an apple watch..No worries.
Keep the face id, works fine.
i'm gonna get flak for saying this but, i don't mind the notch, actually if you think of it from a glass half full perspective, the end of the screen is where the notch begin, the two top notch of screen real estate is just there for the battery and lte indicator.
You don't need to be seen in order to do those things. And frankly if you are in a Teams meeting it'll be on a real computer.
Or we all have different things that bother us and the notch doesn't bother everyone.
Kinda like the "new" music. Some people think its really music.
