The iPhone 14 Pro’s notch replacement will look like an elongated pill cutout — here’s why I like the pill-and-hole design more.
We’ve been talking about the iPhone 14 Pro’s pill-and-hole design all year long. That means we’ve had time to get used to the upcoming new display cutout design for almost a year. But a series of last-minute iPhone 14 Pro leaks revealed Apple’s plans to merge the pill-shaped cutout with the circular one.
The resulting notch replacement is an elongated pill cutout, similar to what various Android vendors did in the years that followed the iPhone X launch. With that in mind, I still hope that Apple will let users customize the pill cutout on the iPhone 14 Pro. Because let me tell you right now, I like the asymmetrical i-shaped cutouts a lot more than just one elongated pill.
Reports this week said that Apple will use the display space between the pill and hole-punch cutouts to show camera and microphone indicators.
