INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The notch that arrived with the iPhone X in 2017 may not make it to all of the 2020 iPhone range, according to reports based on recently

gathered point to the top-end 2020 iPhone having a notch-free front display, with Touch ID moved under the screen and Face ID ditched.That

show an iPhone without a notch, and in fact this is a rumor that's been doing the rounds for months
Apple is certainly looking into getting rid of the notch, it's just not clear when it'll happen.(Image credit: Apple / LetsGoDigital)Several
sources have previously reported that Apple wants to put a selfie camera as well as a fingerprint sensor under the display of future

this sort of technology is possible, but it's still early days, and image quality (not to mention facial recognition capabilities) are
likely to be affected as a result.Other manufacturers including Samsung are said to be planning in-screen cameras for future flagships,
while some existing phones use pop-up selfie cameras to keep the front display as uncluttered as possible.Despite these recent leaks, we'd
all as Apple experiments with in-screen Touch ID.6ZUd6bUFeaduXx5CRZkvoC.jpg?#
