Apple's iPhones won't ditch the notch until 2020, tipster claims
The notch on the iPhone XS
After introducing its all-screen iPhone X in 2017, Apple chose to extend this design to its entire lineup in 2018. And now, as previously rumored, tipster Ice Universe claims Apple will retain the same front panel design with its 2019 series. Thus, Apple’s trademark notch – which has since spread across the entire smartphone industry – is here to stay for at least another year.
Looking towards the 2020 iPhone lineup, many expected Apple to skip the new hole-in-display technology in favor of under-display implementations – this would allow for a totally bezel-less panel. But according to the same tipster, this won’t be the case. In actuality, it seems the Cupertino giant has plans to adopt the technology next year, despite the fact that it’ll be almost two years old by then.
As per usual, it’s worth noting that both the 2019 and 2020 iPhones are still quite far down the line. Because of this, many of these details could change by the time of release. In fact, with Apple seeing poor performance in emerging markets such as China, the brand could choose to release a completely different design. However, with Apple’s track record, this seems highly unlikely.
