Rumor has it that Apple will abandon the "notch screen" on the iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max models and instead use a pill-shaped notch for components such as front-facing sensors. Recently, Patently Apple found clues that Apple will do this in an application document published by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO). The document illustration depicts several possible variations of a device that combines a camera, an infrared emitter, and a redirectable optical folding element.

It is reported that Apple has placed a front-facing selfie/infrared camera, depth sensor, and dot matrix projector in the notch position, and has shrunk the notch of the iPhone13 series by 20% last year.

On the other hand, compared to the notch solution, the optical folding projector can reduce the space occupied by this component, thereby freeing up more display area on the front of the phone. The

optical folding element can change the transmission direction of infrared light , which means that the infrared emitter does not need to be limited to a specific installation location.

works by moving the IR emitter to a more space-constrained location and using optical folding elements to project infrared light in specific directions.

This solution can significantly reduce the overall size of the imaging and sensing components, thereby increasing the display area of ​​the device.

Although the patent application does not mean that Apple will definitely use this technology in its products, there are other signs that the new generation iPhone 14 Pro product line will make major design adjustments to the bangs area.

Days before last year's iPhone 13 hit shelves, well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo mentioned a notch-less iPhone 14 "Pro" model.

A few months ago, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman also broke the news that “Apple will move to a pill-shaped cutout + punch-hole front camera”.

However, the spy photos shared by @DuanRui1205 / @科技Yu are somewhat different from what @UniverseIce showed on social media.
