The notch is actually small this time, and there is also a slight reduction in the bezel size. Apparently, the notch manages to have everything that is required for Face ID to work, because the notch occupies less space now it should yield a little more space in the display. Looks like Apple has shifted the earpiece up to the bezel to achieve the smaller notch by scrunching everything together. A few alleged leaks of the iPhone 12’s overall design, shows that the notch was not yet narrowed down and Prosser’s schematic didn’t match from that previous report. So, it is expected that the iPhone 12 is going to adopt a flattened frame akin to the iPhone 5’s chassis.
