While there have been various rumors and reports regarding the upcoming Apple iPhone 14 series, a new report has revealed interesting information regarding the 2024 iPhone, which will likely be the iPhone 16 lineup.
In a tweet, known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that the Cupertino based giant’s 2024 iPhone might be the first smartphone from the brand to feature a full front screen design. So, most of its necessary sensors like the selfie camera and Face ID tech will be housed underneath the display panel. The tweet reads “I think the real full screen iPhone will come in 2024. High end iPhones in 2024 would adopt an under display front camera alongside the under-display Face ID. A low light condition is detrimental to front camera quality, and ISP & algorithm are critical for quality improvements.”
Notably, the analyst’s comments are in line with his previous estimations. He had initially stated that Apple no longer planned to launch an iPhone with under screen Touch ID. So, the alternative to the biometric security feature is the Face ID, which has already replaced Touch ID on most iPhone models. Interestingly, another analyst Ross Youn also claimed that the under display Face ID will be making its way to the iPhone 16 as well.
On the other hand, the iPhone 14 series that is set to launch later this year is expected to finally remove the large notch on the front. Now, the 2022 iPhone will feature punch hole cutouts for the necessary sensors for Face ID and the front camera. Keep in mind that the iPhone 16 is still more than two years away so take this report with a pinch of salt for now.
