The iPhone 14 Pro is expected to mark the beginning of the end for the notch on the iPhone, as it is expected to feature a pill-shaped notch at the top of the screen. While we may still be just days away from the launch of the new iPhone, some users may be interested in learning early on what the new chapter will look like in person, and now you can do just that.
While there are plenty of concepts and leaks about replacing the pill-shaped streaks on the iPhone 14 Pro, there's nothing quite like seeing and feeling what it looks like in your hand. Thanks to images created by conceptual designer Ian Zelbo, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max users can get a sense of what the new iPhone 14 Pro with the new notch display will look like in the hand.
The images were shared on Twitter, and include a rough estimate of what rumors say will be the size of a pill-shaped form of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, respectively. Images are sized to allow iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max users to view their photos in full size, flip their phones over, and get the iPhone 14 Pro experience.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max image can be found below, and the iPhone 13 Pro image here (note that the image has a slightly wider aspect ratio based on the leaked iPhone 14 Pro schematics).
Although it may look like one large pill-shaped clip in the screen, there are actually two holes in the physical screen. Trusted rumors suggest that Apple will digitally combine the pill-shape and punch-hole cutouts to create a single, larger dial shape at the top of the screen. Apple reportedly plans to use the space between the two physical holes to add useful information like iOS privacy indicators, while a rumored camera app redesign will wrap the controls around the new chapter.
Every flagship iPhone since iPhone X features a notch, with the iPhone XS, iPhone 11, and iPhone 12 all featuring the same size. Apple has miniaturized the notch with the iPhone 13, and it is expected to completely move away from the notch design in a few days. Other than replacing the pill-shaped notch, Apple is planning other significant new features for the high-end iPhone 14 models, including an always-on display, 48-megapixel camera, better battery life, and more.
Apple is widely expected to announce the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and an all-new Apple Watch range during an event planned for Wednesday, September 7, with the "Far Out" tagline. For a full summary of everything we can expect from Apple's fall event, check out our guide.
