Applecould ditch the Dynamic Island on itsiPhone 16 Pro, replacing it with a hole-punch Face ID camera instead, it is claimed.
According to an online tipster, the Cupertino firm is testing a radically-redesigned camera cutout for the flagship model with an eye on introducing it next year or, maybe, on theiPhone17 Pro in 2025.
Majin Bu, who has more than 36,000 followers on X, formerly Twitter, has even created a mock-up of what a future iPhone could look like with the change.
Apple is testing a iPhone 16 Pro hole punch version, but it may not be finalized. Details will depend on March next year. I guess most likely we won’t see such a version until the iPhone 17 pic.twitter.com/exeo8gWoT0November 10, 2023

According to his post, the plans will become more apparent next March. He claims that we will find out more details then.
In my own humble opinion, I don’t think there’s much chance of Apple switching from its current Dynamic Island design anytime soon. It has only just introduced it to the standard iPhone models with theiPhone 15and 15 Plus being the first non-Pro devices to swap out the notch.
And, for many, the Dynamic Island is an inventive and useful solution to necessary evil. I’m not sure a single-lens cutout could offer the same level of tech that the larger pill-shape bar affords.

Still, never say never. We’ll certainly track this rumour going forward.
Other iPhone 16 rumours
There are other things reportedly coming with the iPhone 16 series, including abetter camera for the iPhone 16 Pro– to match the Pro Max.
However, the biggest changes next year could come through the software, withiOS18 tipped to beApple’s biggest release yet.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claims that Apple understands that it “needs to be extra-impressive”. He says that the new iOS release will be “groundbreaking”.
There are expected to be major additions when it comes to generative AI – somethingSamsung also plans for its next flagship phones– and we think there will be strides made in compatibility with the forthcomingApple Vision Pro,too.
