iPhone 13’s shrunken notch leaked in new image
Images again are claiming to show Apple’s shrunken notch for the iPhone 13, with leaker DuanRui on Twitter sharing on Wednesday what is said to be “film samples” for the next-generation iPhone.
MacRumors last month shared supposed front glass panels for this year’s new iPhone models, showing a visibly smaller notch with a repositioned earpiece, suggesting the speaker will be integrated into the device’s top bezel to achieve the smaller look.
Since then, we have seen videos of dummy models and several reports backing up the claims that Apple will reduce the size of the TrueDepth camera and sensor system, with the latest claiming the notch will reduce in width from 34.83mm to 26.80mm.
Apple has long been rumored to be reducing the size of its TrueDepth camera and sensor system, which houses the technology that powers Face ID, with a leak last year showing alleged schematics for the iPhone 12, which Apple appears to have considered launching a smaller notch with, but ultimately opted not to.
The design of the iPhone maker’s TrueDepth camera system has remained unchanged since it first launched with the iPhone X in 2017.
