The 2019 generation of iPhones may have a smaller notch

3.5
Veritably the most polarising issue surrounding the release of the iPhone X, the notch on the front panel of the device, might be getting a little less apparent with future generations of iPhones, as per a new report from ETNews.

The report suggests the Cupertino giant is looking to amalgamate the front camera and Face ID modules into one, which could allow the company to reduce the width of the notch interrupting the otherwise seamless screen on the iPhone X.

Referring to unnamed industry sources, ETNews claims the following about Apple's plans going into the future:

"According to industries, it is heard that Apple is planning to strengthen face sensing function starting from 2019 models. That is why it is planning to increase number of parts that will be used for iPhones and is looking into combination of a face recognition module with a camera module."


The report doesn't go into details about how Apple will combine the different components of the two into a single module.

Dragon It is good that they are taking advice from the consumers. Always a nice way to keep your clientele.


every company should be taking advice from their costumers, it increases profit and will bring in more people since its a product they like.

The only way I would go back to iPhone is if they released a version similar to the X without that stupid notch on the screen, like why do that in the first place

The iPhone X is the best smartphone I've owned and honestly the notch doesn't bother me or hinder my experience in the slightest.

I'm switching from iPhone to android soon. Maybe even getting that razer phone. Can't stand iPhones much more.

Switched to the Pixel 2 XL from iPhone 6s. I was planning on getting the X but I thought Pixel was offering more. It's like going to PC gaming from console.
