It seems that now, several independent sources coincide: the notch it could disappear with the arrival of the iPhone 14. In its place, we would have a simple hole for the front camera of the screen, while the rest of the sensors necessary for the use of FaceID would be found underneath.
This hole, according to the most recent leaks, is in the shape of a capsule or pill and it would be completely centered (some Android devices have it aside but it wouldn’t). In the image above, you can see a digitally generated image that simulates an iPhone with this type of hole.
One step closer to the completely clear screen

The person responsible for this model, Jeff Grossman, specifies that what he wanted to capture, it is an “iPhone 14 Pro”. You haven’t changed anything in the iOS interface, and the result is there is more room to display icons on the top bar of the system. The wallpaper is also visible, creating a feeling of more space and a larger screen.
One would still perceive this hole when watching full screen videos, and maybe that can be an argument in favor of putting it in a corner rather than centered so that it is more concealed. But always with those, something like that looks much better than a whole notch invading the top of the screen. We’ll learn more about these changes as the rumors get more complex.
