I’m wondering whether the notch was supposed to be for Face ID, but they couldn’t make it work due to current supply chain constraints, and that notched displays were already ordered.
- jrochkind1 5y agoIt already had a front-facing camera, of course. Does a camera for Face ID require a bigger notch/bigger area? (Real question, I don't know!)
- markus92 5y agoFace ID has a separate IR camera and a 3d IR dot array, so can imagine it requires a bit more space than a regular webcam.
- yojo 5y agoIt could also be they planned it this way and will add it to next year’s model. That way they can advertise new “must-have” features for upgraders without redesigning the case/OS
