On January 10, the whistleblower ShympApplePro exposed a picture that was said to be the iPhone 14 screen panel, which means that the possibility of Apple's iPhone released this year to abandon the bangs is relatively high, I don't know if Apple users can accept the iPhone after abandoning the bangs?
At present, it seems that many supply chains and the news of Guo Mingji, an analyst at Tianfeng Securities, have confirmed the authenticity of the new iPhone with punch screens. Compared with bangs, the punched screen has a higher screen ratio, a lower sense of existence, and can more set off the advantages of the iPhone screen on all four sides of the same width, in Xiao Lei's view, its positive appearance is still higher than the bangs.
The lower half of this iPhone 14 screen panel exposure map is covered by other elements, and according to sources, the leaked panel does not have any touch recognition areas, that is, the chances of us seeing screen fingerprints on the iPhone 14 are low.
Judging from the exposed pictures, the hollowing out area is divided into two, and there is a large opening next to the "small pill" in the middle, which is closer to the previously revealed iPhone 14 screen digging design. In fact, the additional circular digging hole corresponds to an infrared sensor, which will be hidden under the screen, and all the user can really see is the pill punch in the middle.
What needs to be known is that Xiao Lei has previously reported that only the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max model will adopt a new screen form, and the iPhone 14 and the possible iPhone 14 Max will continue to use the traditional bangs screen design. Xiao Lei speculated that Apple may be lowered to the lower positioning iPhone after the production cost of the punched screen or the Pro version has a higher-level screen form.
With a punched iPhone, the display space of the status bar will be larger, if there is no accident, Apple should increase the power percentage, Bluetooth device charge and other information on the status bar. I have to say that this piece is still a good point for Android, and any message in the status bar can be displayed, and it can also be hidden according to their own needs.
Apple can design the bangs so "harmonious", Xiao Lei believes that the effect of digging holes in the iPhone 14 screen will not be worse, at best, maybe it can also make a group of Android users "turn to powder". Of course, Apple has laid so many patents and technologies for Face ID under the screen, once the front-mounted ToF, dot matrix projector and other components can work normally under the screen, then the iPhone will soon be able to do a single hole while retaining the facial recognition function.
