We're still about four months out from the launch of the iPhone 13, but rumors and leaks have been popping up at a furious pace in recent months. According to those leaks, one of the most likely design changes coming to the iPhone 13 is a smaller notch, which many iPhone owners have been clamoring for since the iPhone X launched in 2017. This alteration seemed inevitable, and the only question was how the company was going to make it happen. Now, thanks to a new report from Digitimes, we might know the secret behind the shrinking notch.
Citing industry sources, Digitimes reports that Apple has figured out a way to reduce the size of the VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) chips that are used in the Face ID sensors by 40-50% in new iPhone and iPad models set to roll out later this fall. Not only could this assist Apple in making the notch take up less room, but it should also help Apple cut production costs, as even fewer wafers will need to be produced for the chips.
