With these rumours, the most talked about one is the prospect of a smaller notch, users having been annoyed for some time over the large and cumbersome notch that has been present on the iPhone since the iPhone X.

Now, it seems that Apple is actually going to make this much-awaited change and, rumours are now providing some insight into how the company will make this possible without removing its coveted Face ID.

How Is Apple Shrinking The Notch?

Supply chain sources, in conversation to DigiTimes (via MacRumors), have come forward to reveal that Apple is truly developing a much smaller Face ID system to be implemented on the upcoming iPhone and iPad Pro models, with the first device launching in late 2021, hinting at the iPhone 13 debut.

In order to achieve this much smaller notch size, the company will not be removing any components or downgrading its Face ID setup, but, it will be making use of a refreshed VCSEL chip for image processing via Face ID, making it up to 40-50% smaller in comparison to older devices.

This change, when paired with the repositioning of the in-ear speaker, another rumour that has been making rounds, is believed to be the reason for a noticeably smaller notch than before, as has been leaked in recent months.
