Apple iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone Pro Max to get punch hole display design: Report

According to reports, Apple iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will come with a hole-punch style design. Whereas, the vanilla iPhone 14 will continue to get a notch style display.

Apple’s iPhone 13 series was launched globally a few months ago. Now, the buzz around its next-generation smartphones is already building up. According to the latest rumours, the Apple iPhone 14 series will be the successor of the iPhone 13 series. It will feature some major design and performance upgrades. One of the most anticipated changes is the hole-punch display for the Apple iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models.

The hole-punch display will replace the notch and offer a more immersive screen experience. Furthermore, the iPhone 14 series is also likely to have OLED screens, A16 Bionic processors, and under-display Face ID sensors, among other specifications.

The iPhone 14 Pro models could feature a hole-punch display. Furthermore, there will be a major design change from the notch display of the iPhone 13 series. This is according to the latest rumours about the next-generation Apple smartphones. The base model of the iPhone 14, however, will still have a notch display. Furthermore, the report also claims that Apple is working on three new models of the Apple Watch, which will be released in the latter half of 2022. The new Apple Watch models could launch with the next-generation iPhone 14 series.

iPhone 14 Pro models: Leaks and Rumors

The next-generation Apple smartphones, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, are likely to have a major design upgrade, according to a Korean website, The Elec. The report claims that the iPhone 14 Pro will have a 6.06-inch screen. While the iPhone 14 Pro Max will have a 6.7-inch screen. Both models will feature a hole-punch display, instead of the notch display that is present in the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max models. The hole-punch display will offer a more immersive and edge-to-edge screen experience for the iPhone 14 users.



What is hole-punch design?

The hole-punch display is a new design trend for smartphones, where the screen has a small round hole on the top edge for the front camera. This design gives a more bezel-less and immersive look to the phone. Many Android phones, such as Samsung Galaxy S21, Realme GT 2 Neo, OnePlus 9 Series, etc., have adopted this design.

Apple is also reportedly planning to use the hole-punch display for its iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models. The company is planning to skip the notch display that it currently uses. Keep in mind, these all are very early reports. Therefore, we suggest you to take this information with a pinch of salt.

Apple is planning to use LTPO OLED panels for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models, according to another report. LTPO stands for low-temperature polycrystalline oxide, a type of thin-film transistor that improves the power efficiency of OLED screens.



The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max models were the first to have LTPO OLED panels. Now, the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models will continue to use them. The report claims that Samsung will supply the LTPO OLED panels to Apple. These panels will also support 120Hz variable refresh rate. This means the screen can adjust its speed depending on the content.

This camera module will use a special mode to produce 12-megapixel images with more clarity and less noise from the raw data of the 48MP sensor.
