While Many Manufacturers Make Fun of Apple for the Notch, Now Apple seems to be laughing back at them.
While many Android smartphone manufacturers make fun at Apple for the Notch design on its flagship iPhone X, Now Apple seems to be laughing back at them.
Apple’s Face Recognition system consists of expensive hardware and software that are not as easy to copy by other manufactures. Apple uses 3D face recognition sensing cameras that provide accurate scanning and incorporates enhanced security. A report given by Digitimes states that the hardware technology Apple used isn’t cheap.
The report mentions that smartphone company, mostly in China, are still not afford the 3D sensing tech for their new smartphones because of high prices of 3D sensing hardware. The reason behind this high price is insufficient production capacity. The price for 3D sensing modules are presently around $30 to $50 each, said sources from Taiwan-based IC-houses in the report.
Though
Essential Phone was the first to sport a notch on the display, Apple was the
first one to put hardware behind that notch. And if we didn’t put hardware, then
the notch would have not been there.
The notch is
not there for show — it is present because there are some hardware components
that require to function.
Inside
the notch some most important hardware such as the IR blaster that is required
for FaceID. IR needs line of sight and cannot operate behind opaque areas such
as the display. The Notch on the iPhone X also have sensors and a camera.
Hence the notch had to be
present for region and Apple probably had no choice.
According to, reports state
that future smartphones from Apple would have a new display technology that
could be in favour of a removing the notch. It is presently speculated that the
iPhone 2019 models will probably not have a notch.
Back to the topic, we have seen
a weird trend in the Android world. Google announced that Android P will
support compatibility for variable notch sizes for future notch-enabled Android
smartphones.
This is already seen I the
Developer Preview version of the Next Android (Android P). Android P will allow
developers to handle the notch size for apps and operating systems ahead.
While many Android smartphone manufacturers make fun at Apple for the Notch design on its flagship iPhone X, Now Apple seems to be laughing back at them.
This time at
the MWC 2018, we saw a many smartphone brands, mainly from China, showcasing
the famous notch design display.
However,
putting a cut in the display and supporting the notch in their forthcoming
smartphones was easy, but what Apple did for their iPhone X is an ‘almost-impossible’
task for them. The reason expensive hardware that is used by FaceID.

The upcoming has notch but
hardware specification is too low.
Some
Manufacturers Copy Ditto Design of iPhone X but the hardware is too Bad.
