It seems incredible that in the middle of 2022 we are still talking about the notch on some phones, and as important as the iPhone. Despite being an outdated element, its end is not yet in sight on Apple phones. But now we know more details about which iPhone would be in charge of finally ending this notch.
Many thought that with the iPhone 13 the notch would finally disappear from the screen of these phones, but nothing further, because the only thing that was achieved was to reduce its size a little, but it is still there. And it would still be time to wait at least a couple of generations of these phones.
It’s time to wait for 2023
Today we have learned that Apple is making changes to its equipment, referring those in charge of developing Touch ID fully to work with Face ID technology. The first thing this means is that those from Cupertino do not seem to have a fingerprint reader under the screen, and that they will not grow in that direction. Everything points therefore to the fact that Face ID will be the chosen one in the future of the brand when it comes to identifying users of Apple mobiles.
Therefore, everything indicates that Apple is going to turn completely to facial recognition technology. This implies that all the technology and components around this Face ID will continue to be present at the top of the iPhone screen, and therefore that notch will be present again in the iPhone 14. But the information that we echo suggests that this would change with the iPhone 15. It is expected that this transfer of equipment from Touch ID to Face ID will speed up the latter system to become more sophisticated, to the point that the notch will finally disappear. .
And it is that Apple’s initial plans were to offer a front camera and a Face ID mechanism integrated under the screen for the iPhone 13 Pro. Something that obviously has not been achieved, and now it is pointed out that would be the iPhone 15 Pro and the Pro Max those that would finally have an all-screen design, without notchbut keeping the Face ID.
Apple is still in its 13
Those from Cupertino certainly couldn’t be more stubborn, because despite the fact that these last almost two years of pandemic have frustrated iPhone users, unable to unlock their phones when they wore the maskhave continued to bet on this method, when the simplest thing would have been without a doubt to add a fingerprint reader under the screen, or even integrate one into the power button, as they have done for example in the iPad Air.
But no, the Californian brand is still in its thirteenth, and will continue betting on Face ID, despite the great gap of their phones at the design level, keeping this notch. Therefore, we will have to wait until September 2023, in more than a year and a half, to be able to know what would be the first all-screen iPhone without a notch.
