A recent Apple patent established with the EPO (European Patent Office) suggests that a huge change could be coming to iPhone and MacBook devices in the future: the permanent removal of the widely controversial notch. But it's not as simple as that, as the patent specifically explains how the company is looking to evolve the sensor technology stuffed on the front face of a device.
In the patent, Apple refers to the trend of borderless electronic devices gaining more popularity, but there is still a necessity for several kinds of sensors on the front face, including a camera, ambient light detector and proximity sensors. This is where the company's notorious notch comes in, but it seems as if Apple is actively figuring out a way to get rid of it by putting these sensors underneath the display.
