With each passing day, it’s becoming clearer that Apple is gearing up to replace the notch that it introduced with the iPhone X with pill and hole cutouts. Two days back, we saw iPhone 14 Pro CAD renders seemingly based on measurements that the company sent to third parties in order to have accessories ready in time for launch. And now, colorized renders of the device have leaked online.
Per leaks, the pill-shaped cutout will be for the selfie snapper and the infrared camera, and the pinhole will be for the dot projector. The latter two are needed for the Face ID face unlocking system.
New front design, same everything else
When this design first leaked, it had the internet divided, with some complaining it’s worse than the notch, apparently because the cutouts are not as small as earlier renders had indicated.
Either way, it is what it is, and the design will hopefully grow on people who don’t like it.
Moving on, the phone appears to have somewhat slimmer and symmetrical bezels, which gives it a chic look.
Nothing else has changed, so, contrary to what some reports had indicated, this is not going to be a completely redesigned phone with a flat camera bump, circular volume buttons, and no SIM card tray.
The iPhone 14 Pro might not be a completely redesigned device
Some monumental changes will not be visible to the naked eye. For instance, even though the camera modules still protrude from the phone, the setup is rumored to get a new 48MP sensor that will replace the primary 12MP camera and enable 8K video recording.
