On January 7, foreign media MacRumors reported that the whistleblower @dylandkt said that he could confirm that the iPhone 14 Pro will use a punched screen, and the Face ID component placed under the screen does not affect the use.
When asked by netizens about the specific shape of the hole, he said: "What I heard was the pill form."
Earlier, Tianfeng Securities analyst Guo Mingji and Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman and other well-known whistleblowers said that the iPhone 14 will use a hole-digging screen, and the gossip from the supply chain is constantly confirming this. This proves that Apple is indeed testing the punching scheme, and Xiao Lei personally judged that the possibility of the hole-digging screen being applied to the real machine is also quite large.
This is mainly due to the off-screen solution of the Face ID component or has matured, and at the beginning of last year, Apple applied for a patent to hide the Face ID component under the screen. As long as face ID under the screen ensures that the function is not affected, it does not need to pursue the image quality like the front camera, and the difficulty of hiding under the screen is relatively low.
Apple's biggest problem with its bangs now is that the area shown in the status bar is too small. Currently, only one carrier can be displayed on the left, and cellular signal, Wi-Fi, and battery on the right. Xiao Lei personally needs a status bar information is the status of headphones, in the library on this occasion, when taking out the AirPods Pro, Xiao Lei has to stare at the status bar that pops up on the screen, or it is a pull-down status bar to see if the headphones are connected.
The cut-out screen can indeed expand the display area of the status bar, which can display more content and bring a better experience to the user. The front camera under the screen will not be able to cancel for a while and a half, but the Face ID component can be hidden under the screen, and Apple will eventually go to the digging scheme.
Then the next key is a single digging hole or "pill" digging hole, the middle single hole will naturally be beautiful a lot, "pill" structure, may be the infrared camera can not be hidden under the screen. Xiao Lei looked at the bangs and the middle "pill" in comparison, and it seemed that it could be accepted after a long time.
The iPhone 14 Basic Edition may not be equipped with a mid-mounted "digging hole" solution, it may be exclusive to the Pro model, in order to attract more users to pay for the new form, recognition.
