In the meantime, numerous reports have accumulated about the iPhone 2021 series. There is constant speculation about the notch. Now more pictures have appeared.
The famous notch was introduced with the iPhone X in 2017. The design and size of the notch remained unchanged in the following three iPhone generations. This year, the whole thing is set to change for the first time - according to various analysts and leakers. Based on images posted by DuanRui on Twitter divided We can see the notch of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini (name unconfirmed) through alleged screen protectors for the models. DuanRui refers to these as "film patterns," which may be a mistranslation. Consistent with previous reports, the images show how the notch shrinks in width while remaining roughly the same height.
iPhone 2021 notch: An aesthetic change
Apple achieves the reduction in width by lifting the earpiece up and into the upper screen frame. The infrared and camera components remain in the visible notch area. The new notch is about 30 percent narrower than its predecessor. This means that iPhone 13 customers will get a little more screen space overall for displaying content. However, it is mainly seen as an aesthetic change to make the iPhone's design more modern, given the competition from Android smartphones, many of which have already switched to punch-hole style display cutouts. The adjustment of the notch is now considered a certainty. Accordingly, customers of the iPhone 2021 series can hope for an updated notch. (Photo by Unsplash / Kelly Sikkema)
