Shove the sensors around the rim? Unlock with Apple Watch? Under the screen?
I get you’re probably trolling, but it is worth mentioning that nowadays the Front camera is used just as much, if not more, than the rear camera.
I'd buy one. I don't FaceTime, Video Chat...give me all screen and just the rear camera.

He might have a point. The front camera is inferior to the rear so what if you flip the phone around to use rear cameras that has a viewfinder display? One valid way to rid of the notch and pin hole.
now i see it

I've never used the front facing camera EVER. I wish they'd make a phone with no notch, no front camera, no face ID and just have an uninterrupted piece of glass.
It's the narcissists who are forcing all of us to suffer through front screen sensor overload hell.

Some old thoughts why go punch hole then a year later remove it and have a full under display camera?
He mentions periscope lens not long ago for 2022 now it’s 2023? He also says under display Touch ID thought that was this year?

How do you know that Apple hasn’t found a way to go include the sensors in one single module… I’m pretty certain that Apples R&D team is working on an amazing tech advancement

I’m not questioning what apple’s capabilities are, I’m questioning Kuo’s accuracy in his reporting. There won’t be a camera punch out in 2022. If there is, something like ultrasonic fingerprint reading will take its place.

They really should ditch Face ID,it was good for it’s time when good under display fingerprint sensor wasn’t available.
the newer under display fingerprint sensors are simply easier and a better experience and I can’t see why Apple may want to keep using Face ID and that comedic notch.

If iPhone and iPads ditch Face ID then the ones I own now will be the last ones I ever buy.

Would be amazing if this hole could be in a corner so if you want to see a movie it will be in the black bars and not in the screen part. Simple.
At least some 2022 iPhone models will abandon the notch and switch to a "punch-hole display design" instead, similar to Samsung's recent high-end Galaxy smartphones, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today in a research note obtained by MacRumors.
Kuo said the hole-punch display design will be adopted by high-end 2022 iPhones at a minimum, and if production yields are good enough, all 2022 iPhone models may use this design. Kuo did not provide any further details as to how Apple would house Face ID components without the notch, should the facial recognition system continue to be used.
Apple is rumored to be planning under-display Touch ID on at least some future iPhones, while Chinese smartphone maker ZTE recently showed off an under-display 3D facial recognition system, so perhaps Apple will explore a similar solution.
Kuo said that if development goes smoothly, at least one new high-end iPhone in 2023 will feature an under-display fingerprint scanner, a periscope telephoto camera, and a real full-screen display design with no notch or holes. Apple may also launch a new lower-end iPhone with around a 6-inch LCD screen, Face ID, and a price tag below $600 in the first half of 2023 to replace the iPhone 11, according to Kuo.
Kuo also said the front camera on 2022 iPhone models will feature autofocus.

How is it a better experience when you’re wearing gloves? At least now with the right gloves I can unlock my phone without having to enter my passcode. I get that Face ID isn’t perfect (though better now that an Apple Watch can unlock your phone when you have a mask on) but fingerprint sensors aren’t perfect either.

I second this. None of these seem inline. Could I mistaken? Sure. Anyway... Let's look at this...
To me, this implies the discontinuation of Face ID: An extremely doubtful move by Apple.
If it were a claim about the low end iPhones, that could switch to a power button Touch ID perhaps, I may have considered it credible.
If they switch to an under display Touch ID, it will be before 2023 -- wasn't/isn't it rumored for this year?
Talk about some drunken dart throwing.
Looking at Apple's previous designs, I don't see this happening either. I would expect Apple to adopt and implement an additional technology, like they did with LiDAR, before ever including a periscopic lens.
Using FaceTime makes you a narcissist?

I think I’d genuinely miss the notch. It’s become something of a symbolic part of the iPhone branding. When I think of punch hole phones all I can see are identikit Android devices.
Face ID is a lot better than Touch ID in terms of ease of use and whilst it’s not something everyone uses, I utilise a few apps that use the TrueDepth camera as a 3D Scanner that gives better detail on small objects than LiDAR. I’d really miss it if it went.

There is a better-looking solution to the problem of an ugly notch than replacing it with an ugly punch-hole. That better-looking solution is this: bezels.

Bezel-lovers of the world, UNITE! Let's unite under this one thread. It's time for us to come out of the closet and declare our love for bezels. I'll start. I'm ThomasJL, and I'm a bezel-lover. I love how bezels make room for a home button. I love how bezels allow for Touch ID. I love how...
