Apple may finally be on the track to give a true all-screen iPhone-and it can be early as iPhone 19. According to a report InformationApple is working towards placing both face ID and front-facing camera under performance in future iPhones. Tech may debut in the iPhone 18 Pro series next year, while the 2027 iPhone-chances are that the iPhone may be the first to facilitate the 20th anniversary of the 19-appearance, fully edible Edge-to-Edge.
Face ID uses infrared lights to scan your face, and keeping it behind the screen presents a big challenge. Most display panels are not very good in passing infrared lights, which can affect accuracy. However, Apple is dealing with a patent, which was recently given, as seen by Patterly appleThe method involves removing some subpixes – small red, green and blue elements that form a display – to create a transparent area. These gaps allow infrared light to pass more easily, without affecting visual quality. Apple’s design also cleanses wiring and touch components in those areas to allow the system to function properly.
Earlier rumors suggested that under-display face ID could come with iPhone 15 or 16, but those predictions did not pan. He said, the iPhone 17 can show the first visual change. According to analyst Jeff Pu, at least one iPhone 17 model – possibly the iPhone 17 Pro Max – may feature a small dynamic island, which indicates internal changes before full redisine.
Under-display selfie cameras are not new in the Android world. Brands such as Samsung have been using them in foldables for the last few years, including internal performance of the Galaxy Z fold model. But the quality of the image is often reduced, especially for video calls and selfies. Apple’s challenge is that it is used, especially when the front cameras are used for selfie and video calls while maintaining their common high quality standards.
For now, we are fast coming near September, when Apple is expected to launch its next generation iPhone 17 model, including standard iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. By the time you are living under a rock, the iPhone 17 Air is asked to replace the Plus model, and the thinnest flagship phone has ever worked for Apple. If rumors are to be believed, the air of the iPhone 17 will be only 5.5 mm thick and its weight will be only 145 grams.
