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.

They say the smaller the better. More stuff for IPhone to do to it.

I'm not a fan of iPhones so either way, this wont effect me.

I know those who don't have it will argue otherwise, but you can hardly notice it when you're using the phone. Plus, its relatively small to begin with. It took maybe 2-3 hours of use the first time around before I forgot it was there.

The only time I "notice" the notch is when I'm looking at the time or seeing if I have WiFi / LTE signal (can be splotchy sometimes where I'm from). You have to be looking right at it and remember it is there. Which makes sense -- like c'mon, who spends all their time on their phone looking at the very top of it? Kinda hard to browse TTG doing that ;)
