Since Apple first adopted The Bangs screen on the iPhone X, everyone has had different views on this new design.
Overall, the most talked about is the aesthetic problem of this bang screen design.
According to the news from the outside world, the iPhone 14 Pro series will cut off the bangs screen that has been used for five years for the first time, using a new punching screen design.
Judging from the CAD design drawings previously exposed to the outside world, although the perforated screen in the shape of the "exclamation point" does not release the area at the top of the screen, it still significantly increases the screen ratio.
As soon as the news came out, many small partners also said that Liu Haiping had been watching for a long time and always felt that the new punching screen was not so pleasing to the eye.
Although everyone's views on the design of the iPhone can only be said to be a matter of opinion, in fact, Apple has long planned for the final form of the iPhone, that is, the real full-screen iPhone like "a piece of glass".
After the iPhone was upgraded to a full screen, Apple cut the Home button to solve the "jaw" of the screen, and now it is time to solve the hole problem in the "forehead" of the iPhone.
Recently, the exposure of a latest Apple patent has brought us the latest progress of the real full-screen iPhone.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has officially approved a patent from Apple that eliminates the iPhone's noting and hides Face ID-enabled components under the screen.
Judging from the concept diagram shown in the patent, the components of Face ID are moved to the bottom of the screen.
Not only that, but another patented image also shows the location of the camera.
As can be seen, the camera will not contact the screen (410), but will be closer to the back surface of the screen (418), that is, below the screen.
If the news is true, Apple real full screen The overall appearance of the iPhone will be consistent with the general belief of the outside world, Face ID components and cameras will be hidden under the screen, and it is expected that the full screen iPhone screen will account for an unprecedented proportion of 100%.
In this way, the real full-screen iPhone is not far away.
In fact, there have been foreign media reports that Apple will cooperate with Samsung to use a more advanced technology than UPC (off-screen camera technology) to hide the Face ID component under the screen.
The report shows that if the development goes well, Apple will use the technology for the first time on next year's iPhone 15 as early as possible, making off-screen Face ID possible.
However, in Apple's consistent style, the iPhone 15 series will most likely continue to use the punched screen on the iPhone 14 Pro series and expand to the entire range of models.
At the same time, some industry analysts with reliable news also gave predictions and confirmed the news.
Sources Ross Young previously said that the face ID under the screen will be launched first on the iPhone 16 as early as possible.
Subsequently, Apple revealed that a brother Guo Mingji also agreed with the accuracy of the news.
In addition, the exposed Apple patent shows that this patent has been filed as early as 2019, which means that Apple has already begun to develop the layout of the full-screen iPhone.
Perhaps Apple's related technology is close to maturity, just waiting for the development results of one day.
If the message is true, the iPhone 16 will be the first full-screen iPhone. Let's wait and see.
