Not surprising to me at all. Cameras fully behind a screen without a hole punch seems pretty unlikely, and this allows Apple to add cutouts for other sensors in the future and hide them nicely.

Perhaps there are ideas for AR-related aspects of this eventually?

I’m always confused by how many people believe that it would be trivial to put screen hardware in front of a camera without negatively affecting image quality. I’ll take an even marginally better front facing camera over getting rid of the notch any day.
