There is no doubt that Apple and its iPhones move in the market at their own pace, regardless of fashions or trends in their Android competitors. After several years, it seems that we are finally on the verge of seeing the first hole-punch camera in the iPhone 14 Pro, something that in turn raises quite a few questions regarding some essential functions.
And it is that it takes a long time to speculate what will happen to Face ID if a perforated camera ever reaches the iPhone. There have been many theories about what Apple could do in these cases. But it seems that little by little this aspect is clarifying, at the moment logically through different rumors.
A new Face ID for a new screen
Nobody is aware that the notch that the iPhone has, although it has reduced its size in recent years, is something completely out of date and out of place at the design level. And it seems that finally in 2022 we will meet a brand phone without this element, and with a truly borderless or notch-free screen. And in this case, there have been few who have wondered what will happen to Face ID if this becomes a reality.
One of the options was for Apple to finally opt for a fingerprint reader under the screen, a new Touch ID with which to make up for the lack of this Face ID. But it seems that those from Cupertino do not want to lose their distinguishing feature, such as this identification method, and seek precisely to combine both characteristics, a perforated camera without giving up this biometric identification method. Well, new information points to this, to a coexistence of both characteristics in the next iPhone 14 Pro.
It seems that Apple would be in a position to hide all the Face ID technology under the screen , and thus reduce the size it occupies on the phone screen. In this way, the appearance of the new iPhone 14 Pro would be similar to that of a perforated dual camera, like the many that we have already seen in Android phones, with an appearance similar to that of a horizontal tablet. The leaker that has revealed this information points out that the Face ID sensors will not be affected by the change to a screen with the perforated camera.
Nth promise broken?
We are very cautious when it comes to venturing into the future of the iPhone 14 Pro, simply because its predecessors have been really disappointing devices in this regard. The iPhone 13 without going any further, the most that it has brought us has been a somewhat smaller notch, but in essence it is a mobile with a screen typical of a phone from three years ago at the design level .
Something that does not seem to matter to Apple or its followers, who continue to buy these phones in droves despite their notorious lack of innovation in recent years. That is why we are quite skeptical with these aggressive changes in the design of the iPhone, since the most logical thing is that everything continues as usual. But if Apple manages to launch a mobile phone with a perforated camera that also incorporates a Face ID, it is clear that it could mean a blow to the high-end table.
