In-Display Face ID Will be Introduced With iPhone 16 and Not Before, Says Display Analyst
We have been hearing for a while that Apple is working to remove the notch and any cutouts from the display on its iPhone. As of now, Apple only minimized the size of the notch by 20 percent with the iPhone 13 series. Moreover, we are expecting a shift to the pill-shaped and circular cutout with the iPhone 14 Pro models. The standard iPhone 14 models will feature the same notch size but the ‘Pro’ models will feature the cutout design. Yesterday’s report from The Elec suggested that Apple might use an in-display Face ID mechanism on next year’s iPhone 15 Pro models which will be developed by Samsung. Analyst, Ross Young has confirmed again that an in-display Face ID sensor should not be expected until the launch of the iPhone 16 at the earliest. What this means is that Apple will not use the in-display Face ID technology until 2024. Samsung Display’s technology is expected to apply first to Samsung Electronics’ foldable phones launching next year, followed by application to the Pro lineup on the iPhone 15 series, sources said.

Apple is left far behind in the foldable segment of the smartphone market, offering nothing at this point. Nonetheless, foldable screen technology is not perfect and the company might be working to bring it to its standards. Do you think Apple will introduce an in-display Face ID with the iPhone 16? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
