A Notch-less Display
Whether you love it or hate it, the notch has become an iconic part of the modern iPhones. Even if it’s another phone, if you see a notch you immediately think of the iPhone.
The notch is there for a reason, though. That’s where the front-facing camera, the speaker, and the necessary technology to use Face ID lives.
There’s no question that Face ID is a cool feature to have, and it’s the best facial recognition on any smartphone. That being said, there are people who would rather unlock their iPhones differently if that means having a bigger screen-to-body ratio.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra have a smaller hole-punch camera in the front, and to unlock it, you can use a fingerprint scanner built on the screen. It’d be nice to have an iPhone model with a notch-less display for people who are willing to sacrifice Face ID.
There’s good news for the iPhone 12, though. Some rumors are saying that the next iPhone lineup will have a smaller notch. It’s not quite what we’d like, but it’s a step in the right direction.
