14 DAY TRIAL // One of the biggest changes Apple is believed to be working on right now for the upcoming iPhone generation is a smaller notch, but of course, this is something we keep hearing before every new iPhone unveiling.
The notch debuted in 2017 on the iPhone X, and since then, people familiar with the matter kept saying Apple wanted to make it smaller, only that no substantial change has been implemented right now.
So the iPhone 12 notch is very similar to the one on the iPhone X, though according to the latest information in this regard, a massive refinement in this regard is planned for the iPhone 13.
Photos published by DuanRui on Twitter reveal a comparison shot between what appear to be iPhone 13 screen protectors and an iPhone 12, and as you can easily tell by checking them out here, the notch would be smaller on the upcoming model.
One way to get a smaller notch is to move the earpiece into the top bezel, something that Apple has been exploring for some time but which the company is only now willing to do, leaving Face ID components and the front-facing camera the only part to still call the notch home.
Four iPhones coming in September
The new iPhone generation is projected to launch in September, as Apple wants to avoid any potential delay and return to its typical release calendar for the iPhone.
Apple will unveil upgrades for all current iPhone models, and it’s believed iPhone 13 would be the last release for the iPhone mini, with Apple to then discontinue this version once and for all.
A new iPhone SE could take its place and target people looking for a smaller screen, with its debut to happen in the spring of the next year.
