Apple leaks reveals about removing its notch

Apple leaks reveals about notch

Ice Universe states Apple will remove the notch from its iPhones, but the plan is not to replace it with a full screen. Instead, Apple will use the same polarising punch hole design Samsung has recently launched on its mid range galaxy 8s and will expand to its upcoming 10th anniversary of s10.

The punch hole certainly gives users more screen space, but the asymmetricle nature of it deviates from Apple’s typical approach. That said, Apple’s biggest display provider is Samsung and we know its underpannel sensors (essential for creating truly bezel-less phones) are not ready yet.

A further dampener is Ice Universe says Apple will not move to the punch hole until 2020. Why is unknown, but with Samsung focused on introducing the tech across allpremium galaxy phones, it may simply be a case of Apple being forced to wait in line. After all, iPhones are only getting samsung 2018 OCTA technology next year.

As such, Ice Universe says we can expect the next generation (September 2019) iPhones to look identical to the iPhone X once again.

Such news is likely to frustrate iPhone customers given 5G support is also delayed until 2020. That said, Apple does have one trick up its sleeves and it may mean restoring a previously cancelled features is the company’s best bet to re-invigorate iPhone interest for now...
