Rumors about an iPhone with Face ID under the display have been with us for quite some time. A few hours ago, the Korean website The Elec reported that the new system will debut in the iPhone 15 Pro next year. Now an analyst has spoken out.
According to a recent report by The Elec, Apple will introduce an under-display Face ID sensor on the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023. DSCC analyst Ross Young, who has been teasing many Apple plans in recent months, contradicts the report and says that the technology could be introduced with the iPhone 16 at the earliest. Rumors of under-display Face ID have been surfacing online for some time now. For the iPhone 14 Pro, for example, Apple might add some sensors under the display and turn the notch into a hole-punch with a pill cutout. Regarding the iPhone 15 series, The Elec reported that Apple will use Samsung's technology to hide the Face ID sensor under the display of the next iPhone. In the Article is it [called:
iPhone 16 could offer Face ID under the display
TheElec has learned that Samsung Display is currently developing a new camera technology for its client Apple to hide the Face ID sensor under the display in the next iPhone. Samsung Display's technology is expected to be used first for Samsung Electronics' foldable phones launching next year and then for the iPhone 15 series Pro lineup, the sources said.
The DSCC roadmap for future iPhones, on the other hand, shows that Apple would offer a different solution for the iPhone 15 series by extending the hole punch and pill cutout to all models, while the iPhone 16 in 2024 could see the Face ID technology under the display for the first time. writes Ross Young on Twitter:
We have reaffirmed that under-display IR technology for iPhones is not expected to be available until 2024, with the iPhone 16. But we need to start development and submit samples now.
This means that although tests are scheduled to begin in 2022, under-display facial recognition is not expected to land on the iPhone before 2024. However, further delays cannot be ruled out. (Photo by DenPhoto / Bigstockphoto)
