Rumor: Apple Working on iPhone With Notch-Free Screen for Cameras

The Cupertino company may take the next step toward completely changing the iPhone screen design by integrating front-facing cameras and scanners under the display. According to information from a new patent application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office, the company is considering a technology that would place sensors for cameras and FaceID under the active area of ​​the screen.

The documentation shows that Apple is developing a way to preserve the functionality of the front-facing cameras and sensors by placing them under the display module, which will increase the useful area of ​​the screen. The patent sketches also show an alternative option – a smaller “island” for sensors, which may become an intermediate solution.

Earlier, rumors appeared on the network that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will receive the most compact cutout in the history of the line. The new patent application confirms that Apple may use the described technology to achieve this goal.

Traditionally, the company does not comment on rumors about its future products, but patents indicate its desire to create devices with the most frameless design. It remains to be seen how soon these technologies will become a reality.
