Top Apple insider says this is when the iPhone will finally lose the notch

[Chris Smith]

• An insider with a reliable track record says the iPhone 14 series will feature a significant redesign in 2022.
• Some or all the 2022 iPhone models will feature hole-punch displays similar to what’s available on Android devices like the Galaxy S and Note series.
• It’s unclear whether an iPhone without a notch would still support Face ID recognition, but one Android device maker has already demoed a potential solution.

We’ve been referring to the bezel at the top of the iPhone screen as the notch from the moment the final iPhone X design leaked in the weeks preceding Apple's September 2017 event, where the handset was formally unveiled. Every iPhone that launched after that aside from the affordable iPhone SE 2020 comes with the same notch. The purpose of the cutout is to house the cameras and sensors that power the most sophisticated authentication available on mobile devices. The notch hides the TrueDepth camera system that enables Face ID, a feature that only a few Android vendors have attempted to copy. The notch also gave the iPhone a unique design, one that almost every Android handset maker copied in 2018 before they realized there are other ways to make all-screen phones.

Since 2017, we’ve been waiting for Apple to shrink the size of the notch, especially since most Android devices transitioned to the hole-punch display that Samsung pioneered. Now, an insider with an accurate track record is reporting that Apple is almost ready to release the first new flagship iPhone without a notch since 2016.
