According to new rumors on Weibo, the iPhone 14 will not rely solely on the perforated screen design to accommodate the TrueDepth camera system, which may mean that Apple may introduce a perforated design while retaining a smaller bang. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that at least in the high-end iPhone models in 2022, Apple will adopt a punch-hole design, similar to the design of some flagship Android smartphones.
Then Apple’s leaker Jon Proser shared a rendering of what he claimed was the iPhone 14 design. According to a now-deleted post by @PandaIsBald on Weibo, it is difficult for Apple to completely abandon the bangs, and it is also unlikely to completely replace the bangs with punching holes. On the contrary, the iPhone 14 may continue to use the bangs, but The occupied screen area will be smaller. The account previously accurately predicted that the ninth-generation iPad will be released at the Apple conference in September.

In iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, Apple did make the width of the bangs smaller, but the height became slightly higher. Apple did this by reducing the component size of the TrueDepth camera system and redesigning the internal structure. Apple also moved the earpiece to the top of the frame this year to free up room for bangs.
When reporting on the design of the perforated screen next year, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo did not provide details on how Apple will install Face ID on the high-end iPhone 14 models if the perforated design is adopted. But it is obvious that if Touch ID will not appear under the display next year, this means that Face ID may continue to be the only biometric authentication option for iPhone 14 users.
