Today the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that relates to eliminating the iPhone s notch and repositioning the TrueDepth camera system behind the iPhone s display. This is a future iPhone feature that most Apple fans can t wait to see unfold. A recent fan on Twitter wrote to me saying: "I ve always dreamed of an iPhone with an edge - to - edge screen without the notch! I really hope that by 2027 this will happen!" Well, today an Apple patent goes to demonstrate that Apple s engineers are continuing to work on this feature that we all want to see come to the iPhone as soon as possible and hopefully well before 2027.
Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro models have done away with the notch. In its place is a pill-shaped cutout that Apple is calling “Dynamic Island” – here’s how it works…
New details about the Apple iPhone 14 are still springing up, with the latest reports suggesting that the upcoming smartphone will offer limited satellite connectivity and may sport a light-folded projector. The latter feature could be the reason why Apple has seemingly been able to shrink the notch for its iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models.
