The big Apple news of the day is that the iPhone 14 Pro will apparently use software to make the two new display cutouts look like one seamless cutout.

Why is Apple making this change? A source with knowledge of Apple’s plans tells 9to5Mac that the space between the two cutouts will be used to show privacy indicators for the microphone and camera. The change will also help with a redesign for the Camera app itself.

Earlier today, a questionable leak suggested that the iPhone 14’s pill-plus-hole-shaped cutouts wouldn’t look quite like earlier rumors had said. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is corroborating this, saying that Apple is planning to make the two cutouts look seamless rather than separated when in use.

One of the hotly anticipated announcements coming for next week’s Apple event is a new 6.7-inch iPhone 14 priced at under $1,000. This would mark the first time Apple has sold a big-screen iPhone without the “Pro” price tag and name.

While this iPhone has often been referred to as the “iPhone 14 Max” in rumor coverage thus far, a new leak today suggests that it could actually be the “iPhone 14 Plus.”

The iPhone 14 is set to be announced at the “Far out” Apple event in a week’s time on September 7. We basically know the high-level details: upgraded cameras, a new A16 chip, and largely the same chassis as iPhone 13 with a new hole-punch notch design, at least on the Pro models.

However, one thing that remains somewhat unclear is exactly how Apple will present this new sensor housing. Recently, there’s been some chatter by sketchy Weibo postings and an anonymous MacRumors tipster that Apple will actually hide the hole punch at the software level by blacking out the area around the camera and sensors, to appear as a single uniform pill shape.
