It has been rumored that Apple will eliminate the notch in the future iterations of the iPhone. So far, we have not heard any solid news pertaining to the subject. With that said, Apple has filed a new patent application in which it shares details on a technology that will detect light through the display. The technology can be used in future iPhone models for Face ID and Touch ID. Let's dive in to see some more details on the Apple patent and how the company aims to implement it.

The notch on the iPhone has remained the same size since its debut with the iPhone X. The notch is probably the biggest on any smartphone that released recently. While Samsung and other manufacturers have moved towards punch-hole displays, Apple seems to be rocking it proudly. We have also heard in the past that Apple is exploring punch-hole displays for future iPhone models. Nonetheless, if Apple's latest patent sees daylight soon, there would not be a need for it.
