The iPhone's bangs have been used for five years and have been criticized by many users.
For Apple, Liu Haiping is only a transition after all, and Apple's ultimate goal is to completely cut off Bangs and launch a real full-screen iPhone.
Judging from the current news from the outside world, the iPhone 14 Pro model will cut off the bangs and use a punched screen design to further increase the screen ratio, but it cannot reach the true full screen iPhone.
Combined with the news that Apple is developing face ID technology under the screen, it can be seen that Apple has basically determined the general direction of the iPhone in the next few years.
Hide the Face ID component and camera under the screen to create an iPhone with 100% screen percentage.
Recently, Guo Mingji, an analyst who has always been reliable, said on Twitter that we will see a real full-screen iPhone as early as 2024.
Guo Mingxi said that he believes that high-end iPhones in 2024 will use an off-screen front camera and an off-screen Face ID.
At the same time, because the camera is hidden under the screen, the image quality of the front camera may be affected in the case of insufficient light.
Therefore, the image signal processor (ISP) and algorithm are key factors in improving the performance of the front camera.
In fact, there has been news that Apple is working with Samsung to hide Face ID and camera under the screen through a technology that is more advanced than upc camera technology.
At the same time, reports from Korean media said that it is expected that the true full-screen iPhone that fully adopts the technology will be unveiled in 2024.
And Guo Mingxi obviously agrees with this view, and also gives a forecast for 2024. This means that the reliability of the message is quite high.
Small partners who are familiar with Apple's consistent style must know that Apple has been quite conservative in its decision to upgrade the iPhone in recent years, and the saying of "one design with N years" is not empty.
Apple's conservative approach is sometimes not due to technical bottlenecks, but to product sales strategies.
According to Korean media, the new UPC technology will first be adopted on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 released next year, indicating that the technology is close to maturity and can be put into products and mass production next year.
In this regard, Guo Mingxi also said that Apple's product release decision to launch a real full-screen iPhone in 2024 is not because of technical problems, but for marketing purposes.
Therefore, for marketing purposes, Apple will not give all the upgrade content to an iPhone early, which is also the reason why everyone has complained about Apple's "squeezing toothpaste" in the past two years.
Although for the current mobile phone manufacturers, "squeezing toothpaste" is a commonly used marketing strategy, but this also highlights the current mobile phone industry does have the problem of lack of innovation.
Of course, for users, the manufacturer's "squeezing toothpaste" behavior is something that everyone does not want to see, after all, users want to see more innovative products come out.
But in any case, from the current news from the outside world, Apple really full screen iPhone is already on the road.
If the news is true, from this year's iPhone 14 to 2024's iPhone 16, it may be the two years with the biggest changes in the iPhone.
With the launch of the true full-screen iPhone, it may once again lead the next trend of smartphones.
In addition, according to the current development trend of the iPhone, the touch ID function that many small partners are looking forward to is likely to be cool.
Previously, it was reported that members of Apple's Touch ID research and development team had been transferred to the team that developed Face ID, and the research and development of Touch ID had been stalled for a long time.
At the same time, iOS 15.4 launched a mask unlock function, which solves the problem of wearing a mask to unlock the iPhone efficiency problem at the moment of the epidemic, but also completely erases the only advantage of Touch ID.
Whether the unlocking efficiency of Face ID under the screen is consistent with the screen, or wait until Apple launches the real full-screen iPhone, the real chapter can be seen.
Let's look forward to the arrival of the real full-screen iPhone.
