Kuo: Lots of 2022 iPhones to Abandon Notch and only 'Punch-Hole' Display

At least some 2022 iPhone models will abandon the notch and switch to a "punch-hole display design" instead, similar to Samsung's recent high-end Galaxy smartphones, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today in a study note obtained by MacRumors.

Kuo said the hole-punch display design might come to be adopted by high-end 2022 iPhones at the very least, and if production yields are actually good enough, all 2022 iPhone models might use this design. Kuo didn't provide any more details concerning how Apple would house Face ID pieces without the notch, if the facial recognition system continue being used.

Apple is rumored to come to be planning under-display Touch ID on in least some future iPhones, even though Chinese smartphone maker ZTE recently showed off an under-display 3D facial recognition system, so perhaps Apple will explore an identical solution.

Kuo said that if development goes smoothly, at least 1 new high-end iPhone in 2023 will feature a great under-display fingerprint scanner, a good periscope telephoto camera, and a real full-screen display design without notch or holes. Apple could also launch a new lower-end iPhone with around a 6-inch LCD screen, Face ID, and a price tag below $600 in the first half of 2023 to displace the iPhone 11, according to Kuo.

Kuo also said leading cameras on 2022 iPhone models might feature autofocus.
