Rumor: Apple Has Prototyped a 6.7-Inch iPhone Without a Notch, Face ID Housed in Upper Bezel Instead

According to the article, the image is a concept created by the guy claiming the existence of the prototype. The prototype/s may or may not exist, but we really have no idea if the image is representative.
This is the iphone I've been waiting to buy. Still on my iphone 7 plus. Absolutely hate the notch design. I would rather take some bezels like this than "no bezels" with a notch.
The notch has never bothered me, but would nice to lose it. The new Pro has been a great upgrade with the massively better battery life, the ultra wide lens, night mode and a much nicer (IMO) matte glass (especially in green).
An iPhone without the notch, and a fourth 5x or greater zoom lens would be pretty close to prefect. OK, and maybe losing the camera bump.

This will be the first 'new' upgrade since the iPhone 8 for me. Always updated 'one behind' (just bought the XS Max) bur take my money for this one!
The notch is the reason why the iphone can’t display the battery percentage anymore. It’s also the reason why I have no idea whether I’m still connected to the VPN or not. That quite a trade off for gaining essentially bugger all.
I never understood why people are so upset about bezels, unless the bezels are larger than the screen size it doesn't bother me one bit. I use computers and phones with bezels and they look so fine... a full screen is better than a annoying notched one.
I hope this rumor is true.
And I think it's wise Apple offers at least one notchless phone in it's lineup. There are plenty of people (hand raised) who will never buy a phone with a huge notch/cutout/hole, etc. on their screen. I am hanging on to my 8+ until such a phone I desire has a notchless screen with it.
TouchID under the screen would be a nice addition too. But perhaps I shouldn't get too greedy.

$1500 for 64gb?? No chance will Apple do that! That’s crazy even for them!
Exactly, the notch shouldn't even exist in the first place and really a bad design for the smartphone.
I think the 5.4” or slightly smaller can be called as iPhone Mini and most of the customer think it will be great.
interesting - on the other hand - the notch is obscuring information that I used regularly in my job like the VPN, Do Not Disturb, Bluetooh indicators, etc.
yes, doc. personally, i'm not going to miss the notch, so i must be sane)

I actually prefer the OnePlus's approach of hiding the selfie camera.
I don't like that you cannot cover the front cam on a phone, and my phone generally rests on a Qi charge stand when not on me.
Also doesn't mean it won't. We don't know how long the prototype has been out there either. Could have been there for a year already.Just because they have a prototype doesn't mean it's going to be completed and manufactured in 11 months

Really? Where LTE/WiFi shows up mine transitions and says VPN and then goes back to the LTE/WiFi
