News on May 5, according to foreign media reports, there have been constant rumors recently that Apple will use under-screen Face ID on the iPhone, but almost all news has confirmed that this plan has been postponed to 2026.
This means that the iPhones released this year and next year will continue to use the Smart Island design, and at least the iPhone 18 Pro will not adopt under-screen Face ID.
Previously, the industry generally believed that the iPhone 16 would be the first model to adopt under-screen Face ID. However, according to analyst Ross Young’s prediction, iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be the first to adopt under-screen Face ID and iPhone with hole-punch front camera.
At the same time, after moving Face ID under the screen, Apple is expected to adopt under-screen camera technology after 2026.
In June last year, Apple announced the patented technology for under-screen Face ID.
This technology embeds various sensors under the screen for Touch ID, measuring three-dimensional non-contact gestures, pressure and other functions, thereby achieving a completely hole-free mobile phone design, including the notch area.
Components such as the front camera can be installed under the screen. The light penetrates the screen surface through multiple apertures and reaches the front viewfinder, where it is ultimately transmitted and generated.
The above is the detailed content of Smart Island will use two more generations: It is revealed that Apple's under-screen Face ID will have to wait until the iPhone 18 Pro. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
