If the rumors are to be believed, the iPhone 14 will have a brand new notch design. The long-awaited display feature should only come to the iPhone 16.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the classic iPhone notch or an alternative hole-punch or pill-shaped notch: it looks like we’ll have to wait until at least iPhone 16 for the first “full-screen iPhone.” . According to renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a notch-less iPhone should not appear before 2024. The notch is expected to disappear from the iPhone 14 Pro later this year. Non-professional models in the iPhone 15 should appear next year. In the next video, we’ll show you what it might look like:
The iPhone 14 will likely be without a notch. There are currently many concepts for what an iPhone without a notch might look like. We “built” such an iPhone using Trick 17 and saw how the concepts look in practice. ► To the Technikliebe T-shirt store:

In a tweet, Kuo reiterated his earlier prediction that under-display Face ID would hit the iPhone lineup in 2024, coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 16 lineup. He goes on to give more details and change his reasoning: earlier this month, Kuo is all Thought it was a marketing decision and didn’t see the technical reason, now he explains that improvements to the image signal processor and software algorithms are necessary in order to achieve acceptable results with the front camera even in poor lighting conditions, if any. also sits under the display.
I think a true full screen iPhone will arrive in 2024. High-end iPhones in 2024 will use an under-display front-facing camera along with under-display Face ID. Low light conditions degrade the quality of the front camera, and the ISP and algorithm are critical to improve quality. https://t.co/vWjeZYZUPK

As with the notch in the 2022 models, all indications are that Apple is using an all-screen design as a visual differentiator for its more expensive Pro devices, with the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Max likely to either have notch, or a new design is expected for the iPhone 14. If the current Standard/Pro/Max designations still exist at this point in time.
iPhone 14: why you should wait
Kuo’s prediction may be intriguing, but it sounds disappointingly cautious about the time frame. There were hopes that Face ID would appear under the screen with the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023.
How likely is Kuo’s prediction?
We currently know a lot about the iPhone 14, but we don’t believe that even very well-informed analysts can make accurate predictions about the iPhone two generations later. At best, these are wide-ranging speculations about Apple’s overall direction, and even information that may be relevant now can quickly become outdated as the company’s plans change in the coming years.
However, the forecast makes sense and is in line with what DSCC CEO Ross Young tweeted last month. At the time of this writing, it seems entirely possible (and, as we can see, accepted by at least two reputable analysts) that Face ID will be under the display on the 16th generation iPhone.
The under-display sensor technology exists, but it falls far short of Apple’s high standards. Samsung put an under-display camera on its Galaxy Z Fold3, but the quality and design left a lot to be desired. So Kuo’s comment about improving processing makes sense.
Finally, it should be reiterated that Ming-Chi Kuo has extensive experience in the industry and has made a number of accurate assessments. He’s by no means infallible – his Apple Track hit rate at the time of writing is a somewhat unimpressive 72.5 percent – but that partly reflects the nature of his work, which tends to be far-reaching rather than “My Sources”. telling me that Apple will hold an event in 11 days.” He knows his business.
