Everything we know about Apple’s upcoming Pro iPhone models.
Apple is doing away with the notch for some of the iPhone 14 models, and rumors suggest it’s the Pro models that will get the notch-less design. Rather than a notch, Apple is going to go with a smaller set of cutouts on the display. Originally, rumors said that Apple would introduce a single circular hole-punch cutout to accommodate the front-facing camera, but subsequent information indicates there won’t be a single cutout.
The circular cutout will likely house the front camera, and the pill-shaped cutout will include the Face ID hardware and maybe other parts. Leaked images on a Chinese social networking site say the round cutout will measure 5.631mm.
Apple may also be planning to put some of the Face ID hardware under the iPhone’s display, which will cut down on the measures of the cutouts that are required and will leave more available screen space on the front of the device, but it’s not yet clear if this will happen.
Part Leaks: MacRumors acquired some iPhone 14 dummy models designed for case designers that provide a look at what we can expect for the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro models. For the Pro models, the notch is going to be replaced with hole and pill-shaped cutouts for the camera and the Face ID equipment. The hole and pill design is not much extra from a notch, but it will free up some space and make the front cameras less obtrusive. Standard iPhone 14 models will continue to have a notch.
We know there are some minor changes to the sizes of the devices, but when comparing a dummy unit to the iPhone 13 lineup in person, it’s difficult to tell. There are tiny changes to the screen sizes of the iPhone 14 Pro models, but in day-to-day use, you’re not going to notice.
Based on the schematics, iPhone 14 Pro Max will be 77.58mm wide, which is nearly identical to the 13 Pro Max’s width of 78.1mm. It will measure in at 160.7mm high, the same height as the 13 Pro Max, and it is expected to be 7.85mm thick, just a bit thicker than the iPhone 13 Pro Max at 7.65mm.
The camera bump will be 4.17mm thick, up from 3.60mm in the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The size of the camera bump is also expected to expand about 5 percent in each direction, going from the current width of 35.01mm to 36.73mm and height of 36.24mm to 38.21mm. The larger camera bump will accommodate the 48-megapixel camera that Apple is going to add to the device.
