A new rumor says that Apple is switching to under-display Face ID with the iPhone 16 Pro in 2024. It's a big update that raises a few big questions.
The pill-hole cutout was introduced on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max a few months back, and it seems like Apple already wants to make it smaller. A new report from The Elec claims that the company is planning to introduce an under-display Face ID setup next year. The feature is supposedly in the pipeline for iPhone 16 Pro series, and not the iPhone 15 lineup, which will be launching later this year.
Related What happens to Dynamic Island? Apple introduced Dynamic Island with the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro in September 2022, and said that it will get support for more apps in the coming months as it takes time for developers to create things for a new design element. It’s obvious that Apple won’t give up on Dynamic Island so soon – even if it plans to make the cutout smaller in 2024. But the question is, does it make sense to keep a design element that isn’t going anywhere? I’d like to give developers more time, and let it mature before I can answer this question. That being said, I suspect Apple will keep the Dynamic Island in some form at the top on iPhone 16 Pro, despite the smaller cutout. And by then, there will be a lot more uses for the feature.
What does this mean for future iPhone designs? According to an old Tweet from reputed display analyst Ross Young, the notch is going away altogether this year, with all iPhone 15 models getting the Dynamic Island. In 2024, the iPhone 16 Pro could move to an in-display TrueDepth sensor for FaceID with a cutout for the selfie camera, while the lower-end iPhone 16 will retain a pill-shaped cutout.
