Looks better imo, now I don't know why Apple made the two cutouts in the first place if they're going to go with one wide pill anyways.
Got a tip for us?

Rumor: iPhone 14 Pro Display Cutouts Could Appear as a Single Wide Pill Shape When Turned On

Sounds logical. Wouldn’t mind if they artificially turn it into a pilled shaped aesthetic. Bring it on!
Maybe run a wide pill and then turn off pixels above to create a fake notch
Have you seen the Fold 4 under display camera? The quality sucks.
I don’t know, but is a step back IMO.
You are loosing display (not in the specs, ratio etc, but in real life, and the pill is way more invasive.
No sense for me.
I fully believe this rumor for one simple reason. It explains the clashing leaks about the design of the new cutout. Makes sense that both leaks are "right" in reality.
If the image is correct, the pill shape on the 14 Pro protrudes down into the screen quite a bit more. Either way, I'm not going to sweat any of this too much.A pill shape design would be ideal however my money is on the pole-punch design. Whichever one we are going to get. We are bound to receive more space around the screen. Hopefully, Apple will utilize the extra screen.

do you really think those bezels will be slimmer? That would mean both Pro models , keeping 6.1 and 6.7 same display size, would make the devices a little bit more compact, maybe close tot the 11 pro dimensions
When you're a leader, you don't look to follow others.
Then I have to ask: what was the point of designing it like this in the first place?
I still can't believe they're going for such disgusting solution. Neither of these two is practical, its more distracting than notch and it's an obvious waste of space (the gap with the top). I hoped for notch of this size, still do.
With all this space can’t we get a normal battery indicator AND a percentage readout?
I wouldn't mind the pill cutout if it was very smol, but it's larger than I thought and it goes lower into the screen than the notch.
They obviously did this only to visually separate the new Pro model from the older models.
That would make so much more sense! I was not a fan of that asymmetrical mess.

I'm sure it does. That's why I said Apple should have invested the money in the under-display camera tech. Maybe one day! One thing for sure is Apple will take it's time to make it right.
I remember the days when we talked about life changing features. Now we have debates on the size and shape of the notch (or now these pill cut outs). Such sad times.
Nah, they’ll just make the font size even bigger.
Why not just cut a pill out instead of turning off the pixels? Or is that for the iPhone 15?
It'd look exactly the same so it would not work for the conspiracy theory of Apple changing the look to push new models.
