Predicting the future of theiPhonecan be a tricky business, especially when it comes to timescales: features predicted for theiPhone 14ended up being pushed back to theiPhone 15, and some supposedly imminent additions haven’t made it into production at all. The rumour of a radicaliPhoneredesign putting FaceID sensors behind the display appears to be the latest example.
Why does an under-display sensor matter?
I really like the Dynamic Island, and I hope it stays even if the physical need for it goes away. And Apple appears to be thinking the same. In February, a new Apple patent emerged with details of a revamped Dynamic Island based on a behind-screen sensor. The system would use a series of tiny transparent windows to make areas of the screen disappear on a per-pixel basis, helping deliver Apple’s goal of an iPhone that’s a single sheet of glass with no visible sensors at all.
Young has previously said that Apple is working on an all-screen iPhone with both the Face ID sensor and the front-facing camera moved behind the display; his launch estimate for that was 2026 or possibly later. Whatever Apple ends up doing, we’re not going to see it very soon.
