Apple users started complaining about the notch being completely removed after a while after it got smaller. Apple was now planning to switch to pinhole design by removing the notch completely after criticism. Today, according to the information that has emerged, Apple has received a patent for the notchless design that it will use in the products it will introduce in the future.
According to patent documents, Apple will design a camera setup embedded in the back of the screen. This design, which will be a first for Apple and its users, has already been available to some Android devices for a while. So, how will the under-screen camera design be for Apple? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
When will Apple introduce the notchless design?
In the patent information, the header includes an electronic device header with a camera placed behind the screen. In the images in the documents, there are two drawings, one with and without a notch. The biggest challenge to the notchless design is thought to be how to minimize image degradation.
Apple’s patent drawing shows that light needs two filters to reach the camera. Then there is the need for a band to pass an incoming light after the filter. Finally, the tape will remove certain parts of the light and enable the feature to be used.
A new processor is expected to be produced in order to make all these happen. The notchless design is expected to be added to the iPhone 16 series first and then to MacBook devices around 2030.
