A Notchless Next-Gen iPhone Inexplicably Pops Up inTed Lasso

Apple TV+ ’s Ted Lasso is about a folksy American football four-in-hand hire to help a stumbling British soccer club , but gadget nerds were buzzing about something else spotted in last Friday ’s episode : a potentially notch - free iPhone 13 .

The cast of characters of Ted Lasso is frequently encounter using Apple products within the show , but eagle - eyed viewers note something unusual in a setting where a character whips out her iPhone to check a message . As you may see in the photo above , there was no notch in sight . The back of the phone appear to be an iPhone 12 , but the front does n’t have the distinctive notch we ’ve all come to lovemaking and respect with no animosity whatsoever . The phone also appears to have the same default wallpaper used in iOS 14 .

Apple is ill-famed for its secrecy , so it seems unlikely that this is a deliberate signal that the snick is disappear from the iPhone 13 . That said , it ’s been bruit for months now that the iPhone 13 would havea much smaller mountain pass or a gob - punch selfie camera . However , a completely notchless displayisn’t believed to be in the cardsfor this twelvemonth ’s iPhone . It ’s also potential that this was an unintentional goof during the post - editing process . After all , there are several close - up guesswork of iPhones within the same installment where the notch is visibly present . Though users on Twitter did seem tospot more than one instanceof the notchless phone , so who can say ?

I spy… an iPhone with no notch.

CGI is in reality used quite to a great extent in Ted Lasso , mostly during scenes where the fabricated football game club AFC Richmond plays their matches in crowded stadiums . ( you could chink out a neat video over atThe Mary Sueto see how extensive those visual effect shots can be . ) looker are also confident in various corners of the net that Brett Goldstein , the role player who plays the ornery Roy Kent , is also somehowa completelyCGI characteras part of a wide Apple conspiracy . The latter is apparently a number out there , but give that CGI is a part of the show ’s DNA , it ’s not only farfetched that perhaps an editor in chief acquire a bit too heavily - handed by stroke .

Whether it ’s a cheeky nod or a complete gaffe , it ’s not as if we ’ll have to expect too foresighted to see what the iPhone 13 will look like . The earphone are rumored to go onsale on Sept. 17 , meaning we should be get word about an iPhone launch event in the coming calendar week .
