iPhone 14 Lineup New design: New sizes, No notch, No Touch ID

iPhone 14 design: Will the iPhone 14 have a new design?

Here are the latest rumors concerning the iPhone 14’s external appearance and physical chassis.A bigger camera bump, and slightly thicker body

1. Goodbye mini, hello Max

All the signs suggest that the 5.4-inch iPhone mini line is going to be discontinued: Ming-Chi Kuo, for example, has predicted that Apple will kill off the mini to introduce the Max in 2022.

What that means in practice is that we’ll still get four models, but instead of these being split into one small, two medium and one large, it will be two medium and two large.

2. No notch: Meet the “hole + pill” camera cutout

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple will drop the notch in 2022, starting with the high-end iPhone 14 Pro. Instead of the notch, the iPhone 14 will use a new “pill hole” design.
Rather than a simply hole-punch cutout used by many Android phones, Apple will use a combination of the hole punch cutout and a pill-shaped cutout.

Here’s the technology currently located in the iPhone’s notch:
  •     Infrared camera
  •     Flood illuminator
  •     Proximity sensor
  •     Ambient light sensor
  •     Speaker
  •     Microphone
  •     Front camera
  •     Dot projector

3. No Touch ID

Touch ID is not expected to be an iPhone 14 feature this year, while there were early rumors that Apple would introduce the touchscreen ID feature on the iPhone 14.

According to reports, Apple has suspended development of in-display Touch ID sensors.  While this patent provides some hope of a Touch ID future, the bulk of the evidence is still against it.

Recent reports from Ming-Chi Kuo suggest that Apple has been forced to delay the under-display Touch ID until 2023.
