iPhone 13 pre-orders are still fresh, but those who have decided to skip this year’s lineup will be glad to discover that Apple could finally get rid of the notch altogether for the rumored iPhone 14 Pro models.
That’s according to a reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via MacRumors), who claims that next year’s Pro lineup will get a hole-punch display, as well as an upgraded rear camera system with a 48-megapixel main camera.
A hole-punch design implies that the smartphone’s display isn’t interrupted with a notch and only has a small opening for the front camera, meaning that any biometric authentication method could be placed under the display or integrated into the front-facing camera. Such displays can already be seen in some of Samsung’s flagship smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S21 and the foldable Galaxy Z Flip 3.
