even thoughIt’s been less than a week since the official release, but the rumor machine about the iPhone 14 is still in full swing. The iPhone 14 Pro has long been rumored to have a “dual punch” screen design to replace the existing bangs, consisting of a larger hole for the Face id sensor and a smaller hole for the selfie camera .However, according to 9to5Mac and MacRumors According to the report, Apple ultimately decided to connect the two “holes” together to form a larger pill-shaped black area.
And Apple didn’t just black out the connection between the two. It is rumored that Apple is going to move the small orange light indicating that the microphone is in use and the small green light indicating that the front lens is in use. display is more conspicuous. In addition to making the indicator light more consistent with the design of the MacBook, it can also display the usage status of the microphone and front lens at the same time, instead of using the same small corner of the screen like the current model. Not only that, but you seem to be able to tap on the indicator lights to see what app is using the microphone and front camera.
In addition to the new punch-hole design, Apple also appears to be redesigning the software to fit the new space. For example, the camera app is considering moving buttons including flash and Live Photo to the top of the phone. According to 9to5Mac, none of these fixes have been finalized, but could mean that Apple is prioritizing the usability of taking photos when the phone is held in landscape orientation, allowing you to access features on the top side without blocking the screen.
