Rumors: no more notch on iPhone 14 Pro (images)

Right now, new renders of iPhone 14 and 14 Pro are being shared on the internet. They originally come from MySmartPrice, which claims to have obtained them from internal sources, these famous “Insiders” in English.

They could be renderings of iPhone 14 and 14 Pro prototypes and therefore do not guarantee the final design. Still, they show a direction that Apple could take in terms of aesthetics for its next generation of smartphones.

The Face ID notch still in place on iPhone 14

The industrial drawings show the front and back of the iPhone 14, but also the sides. We can see that the Californian would consider not changing the design of his machine. The Face ID notch notably appears identical to what the iPhone 13 currently offers.

On this basis, we could therefore expect that the iPhone 14 would benefit from the same case as the iPhone 13. The update from 13 to 14 would therefore be minor, especially since recently,he whispers to himselfthat the CPU chip would not evolve from one generation to the next.

Real changes on iPhone 14 Pro

Apple would keep its major changes for the iPhone 14 Pro. This is what recent renderings leaked by 91 mobiles suggest. These show an iPhone without a notch on the front, but withpunch for camera. At the back, the photo module would gain a few centimeters to appear much more massive than what the current iPhone 13 Pro offers.

These images further illustrate a camera module protruding from the rear. This is contrary to what some analysts predict: the absence of a bump on the back of the iPhone created by the photo module on the next 14 Pro model.

In any case, it is difficult to draw conclusions at this stage. However, two trends seem to be emerging:

The iPhone 14 would not evolve greatly, neither in terms of design nor in power, compared to the iPhone 13. Ditto for the mini version
iPhone 14 Pro could be the first iPhone with Face ID, but without the notch

Initially hated then over time appreciated, the Face ID notch on iPhone is now widely adopted by the general public. Would it be a good strategy for Apple to remove it from its smartphones, even though it recently arrived on Macs? Give us your opinion in comments!
