If you're not a fan of the "notch" at the top of the iPhone X, there's some good news: its design may change, but not until 2019.

According to a report from Korean IT site ET News, Apple is currently looking into combining the facial-recognition module with the camera module on future iPhones, which would shrink the overall size of the "notch" that houses Apple's TrueDepth camera system.
