Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro is expected to usher in a slight but very distinct design change this year. The "notch" will be gone, and in its place will be a hole-punch and pill-shaped display cutout. The overall aim of this design is to provide users with even more screen real estate.
More broadly, this design shift is likely the first step on a path toward creating a full edge-to-edge display with sensors like Face ID embedded beneath the display itself.
It’s worth noting that the proposed design will reportedly be exclusive to Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro models. However, given Apple’s penchant for debuting new technologies and designs on its premium handsets, it stands to reason that everyone might see the new iPhone design language become standard on Apple’s 2023 iPhone 15 lineup.
Recently, the YouTube channel Tech Blood put together a mockup video providing us with a closer look at the iPhone 14 Pro design. There are a few things to note before diving in.
One, the pill-shaped cutout in the video is probably a bit smaller than it will be on the actual device. Two, the camera bump on the iPhone 14 will be slightly larger than it was on the iPhone 13. And three, the overall form factor of Apple’s 2022 iPhone lineup will remain the same.
In other words, Apple isn't reverting to an iPhone design with rounded corners, thankfully.
With those qualifications out of the way, this mockup video does a great job of clueing us into the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro design. The end result, in my opinion, is an iPhone with a decidedly sleeker look.
The iPhone 14 Pro camera, based on credible reports, sounds like it will be incredible. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a stellar record when it comes to Apple and iPhone rumors, said that the iPhone 14 camera will "elevate mobile phone camera photography to a new level."
Specifically, the iPhone 14 Pro camera will reportedly feature a 48-megapixel sensor on the rear. The sensor itself is said to be 20% larger than its predecessor.
