The app works as an accessibility feature in order to appear on the lock screen. If your battery is full, the ring wraps around the 360-degree forward-facing lens, declining as your phone loses battery.
The developers created a wallpaper that not only hid the perforation, but turned it into a funny joke
You might recall that when Samsung released wallpapers for the Galaxy S10, it created several that interacted with the pill-shaped dual punch-hole cameras. It will be interesting to see how Apple and iOS app developers are playing the supposed notch replacement for the iPhone 14 series. The latest rumor has it that the Pro versions of this year’s iPhone 14 lineup will replace the notch with a punch and shaped opening. of rhombus “pill”.
iPhone 14 Pro render on the right shows notch replacement according to latest rumors
This strange combination is already making some iPhone fans dream of the return of the notch. If the latest renders we’ve seen for the iPhone 14 Pro are legit, there’s going to be an uproar next September and you can count on it.
Right now, punch-hole is the best option manufacturers have until under-display cameras are improved. Over the years we’ve seen pop-up cameras, cameras that flip and flip back and forth and vice versa, all in the name of smaller bezels.
The Energy Ring garnered pretty decent reviews. With a total of 4,664 users, the app averaged a score of 4.4 out of 5. Hey, if you’re bored with the punch-hole camera on your phone and your handset supports the app, it won’t cost you anything but your time to try it out.
