Apple's latest display patent hints at a future beyond the notch
The notch on the iPhone XS
From the looks of things, the Cupertino-based company is actively looking into smartphone displays that include small cut-outs. These small holes would be used to accommodate a variety of sensors such as the selfie camera and Face ID elements. Thus, there would no longer be a need for a large notch above the display.
Although this design may seem like the logical next step, Apple could potentially skip it entirely. After all, Samsung is already working on new implementations that will allow cameras and other sensors to be hidden beneath OLED panels, a design that many would consider superior and something Apple may be willing to wait for.
