The notch of the new iPhone 14 Pro has been talked about almost since the iPhone X. In recent months, several rumors and leaks point to a notch in the form of a line and a dot. Physically perhaps, yes, but at the software level, and therefore of the final aspect, can be really different.
A notch that relies on software to complete its design
Citing their own sources, in 9to5mac they publish that Apple’s notched plans for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max go beyond what we’ve seen in the leaked front panels of these new phones. Until now we expected a dash shape followed by a periodbut the reality could be totally different.
Apparently Apple would plan leave the pixels between the two notch elements completely dark, which would create a unitary notch, a single elongated and rounded central shape with all the sensors. And what would be the space between the two? Easy, to display privacy indicators. That little green or orange light when we access the device’s camera or microphone that’s currently on one side.
In addition to giving a appearance much more similar to what we are used to seeing with our Mac, where the LED is right next to the camera, this design would allow Apple to display the camera access indicator and the microphone indicator simultaneously. Something that currently does not happen, only seeing the camera when accessing both.
Finally, at 9to5mac, they indicate that the source informed them that Apple plans to redesign the Camera app for the new iPhone, moving some of the controls to the top of the screen. Commands such as Live Photo, flash, timer and others could occupy the sides of the notch to leave more space to view the photo or video that we are going to take.
Really interesting changes, no doubt. Changes that we did not foresee and which continue recalling that at Apple they have more than one ace up their sleeve and a lot of ability to surprise us. something in which Mark Gurman coincides. Fortunately, we will dispel doubts shortly, since we are less than a week away from the presentation event of the iPhone 14.
