Rumours of Apple ditching the notch on the next-generation iPhone 14 are gaining steam. The iPhone X was the first iPhone to feature a notched display, but looks like Apple has finally decided to move away from the notch in favor of a hole-punch on the iPhone 14. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman believes the iPhone 14 will offer a new design language and the removal of the notch is a part of the design change.

Apple made the notch a bit smaller on the iPhone 13 series, but it’s a minor design tweak. The Cupertino giant will reportedly move the Face ID cameras beneath the display, with a front-facing camera housed in a pill-shaped cutout. This will not only give the iPhone 14 a new look but also allow Apple to offer more display information in the status bar.

The iPhone 14 lineup is expected to include a new design with a notchless display, a hole-punch front camera, under-display Touch ID,  and a more durable titanium alloy body. We have also heard that there will be four models in the iPhone 14 lineup, but the mini version will be killed in favour of a large-screen size variant. It’s said the iPhone 14 could come with Wi-Fi 6E, and the Pro models may feature a 48-megapixel camera.
