iPhone 14: Surprise, Apple fans want controversial redesign
In all likelihood, the appearance of the Apple cell phone will change significantly with the iPhone 14 in autumn, at least the two Pro models will have to do without the notch in the future. What comes instead causes controversy at first, but to the surprise of industry insiders, it seems to please.
The rumor mill agrees on one point: the previous display notch will disappear on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, only the standard model will have it. There is either a so-called punch-hole design, i.e. a circular recess, or a slightly pill-shaped recess for the camera. Apparently you're not quite sure yet.
iPhone 14 Pro: Apple fans want the pill
xiaomist colleague and industry expert Peter Hryciuk does not like this at all, for him the previous notch is part of Apple's brand image, removing it would be a mistake. But how do users actually see it? In a recent survey by colleagues from 9to5Mac, the opinion of the readers is sought and a surprising trend is already emerging (source: 9to5Mac).
Because the new design is not that controversial. Currently, just under 14 percent prefer the previous notch, the clear majority is in favor of an end to the notch. More than 50 percent even want the new recess to be in the form of a pill, and more than a quarter still want the classic camera hole.
Although the survey has not yet been completed and it is certainly not representative according to scientific standards, the view of the mood is quite enlightening. It seems that five years after the premiere of the notch, Apple customers can and do want to part with the brand-defining front image of the iPhone and are ready for something new. This should not only come as a surprise to colleague Peter Hryciuk, but Apple buyers are perhaps not as conservative as one might think. Also an exciting discovery.
Not only the new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE uses a camera hole, many Android phones generally use the punch-hole design:
Four models in autumn 2022
There will be certainty in autumn when the new models are presented. Aside from the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple is rumored to be introducing two more models. The standard version with a 6.1-inch screen and a new iPhone 14 Max with a larger 6.7-inch screen, but there will no longer be a mini version.
