The iPhone 14 series is said to include the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Max, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The Cupertino company has not yet revealed the design of this next series. However, an alleged iPhone 14 Pro live video has apparently surfaced. It shows off a new option that will allow iPhone 14 Pro users to toggle between a split-pill cutout and a unified pill cutout. It was recently suggested that Apple will turn off the display pixels between the two cutouts to make it look like a single notch.

An alleged video of the iPhone 14 Pro is making the rounds on the Chinese social media platform Weibo and shows the alleged pill-shaped notch in use. The purported video shows that the iPhone 14 Pro will come with an option that will allow users to switch between a unified pill notch or a split pill-shaped punch-hole cutout.

A recent report suggested that Apple could disable pixels between the two cutouts on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. This feature is believed to be made possible by the OLED screens used in the Pro models.

Apple reportedly plans to use the unique eyebrow-like pill-shaped cutout on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to display privacy indicators. These indicators are expected to notify users when the camera and microphone are in use. Apple is believed to have redesigned the Camera app by moving some of the controls to either side of the unified pill shape.

Apple is scheduled to host its 'Far Out' launch event on September 7. We can expect the reveal of the iPhone 14 series at this event. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are believed to come with the new Apple A16 Bionic chip, while the standard iPhone 14 variants will use the older A15 Bionic chip.
