The iPhone 14 is not yet on the market when a well-known analyst is already thinking about the iPhone 16. According to him, the 2024 model will differ significantly from previous ones: without a notch, but with a very special front camera.
Analyst: First iPhone 16 without a notch in the display
Analyst and supply chain expert Ming-Chi Kuo is certain that Apple will only deviate from the well-known design path with the iPhone 16. With the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15, on the other hand, the current design can still be expected. According to him, the small revolution will not follow until 2024 Apple does without the cut-out in the displaybehind which the selfie camera is placed (source: Ming Chi Kuo on Twitter).
Of course, the iPhone 16 does not have to be without a front camera either. The notch will disappear, but selfies should use one instead Under Display Camera to be possible. The advantage: the display of the mobile phone is completely uninterrupted. According to Kuo, Face ID will remain on the iPhone 16 and also runs on the front camera.
Under-display cameras themselves are not a dream of the future, but are already present in some Android phones such as the Xiaomi Mix 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. But it is also clear that she so far have not lived up to their hype. The results are rather below average, which is due to the lack of light output. Conventional selfie cameras are vastly superior to under-display cameras, at least for now – but that may change by 2024.

Kuo predicts one for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max visible difference to the iPhone 14 (Max). There should be a punch-hole camera at the front, while the other models use a notch again.
