New reports suggest that the iPhone 14 Pro will feature a hole-punch display, marking the end of the notch on Apple's Pro models. The iPhone 14 range is expected to launch in 2022, with the Pro model featuring a 6,1-inch display and the Pro Max a 6,7-inch display. The display looks set for a significant upgrade, as it will eliminate the notch, a feature that has drawn criticism from consumers.
By using a hole punch, the company can offer users more screen space while leaving room for the front camera. Android manufacturers have been using this design for several years, making it surprising that Apple had not made this change even by the iPhone 13.
If the company does go ahead with this display change, its Face ID system will presumably move beneath the screen. However, these reports apply only to the more expensive models in the range, with the hole punch appearing only on the 6,1-inch and 6,7-inch displays of the iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max. It is worth noting that an iPhone mini is not expected to launch as part of Apple's new phone range in 2022.
In addition, the company is reportedly planning to use LTPO OLED displays for the upcoming Pro models, enabling a 120 ProMotion refresh rate, a technology already used in the iPhone 13 Pro models. Samsung currently supplies the OLED displays for the iPhone 13 Pro models, but Apple may source the displays for its new models from LG Display.
A display redesign that removes the notch and introduces a hole-punch has been rumoured and anticipated from Apple for quite some time, and all indications now suggest that it will become a reality for the first time.
