Display industry analyst Ross Young broke the news that the iPhone 18 Pro will not be equipped with under-screen Face ID technology, which is contrary to previous reports from The Information. The Information previously believed that the iPhone 18 Pro will use a single-hole screen form, with the front camera located in the upper left corner.
Ross Young pointed out,Apple has moved some Face ID components to the bottom of the screen, so the smart island area of the iPhone 18 Pro series will be smaller, but not to the extent of a single-hole screen.
As for the 20th anniversary iPhone that will be launched in 2027, Ross Young believes that,The phone will continue the small smart island design of the 18 Pro, and its front hole shape is similar to the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro (as shown in the picture below).
Ross Young predicts that Apple will move all Face ID components to the bottom of the screen in 2028, and the display will only retain the punch hole for the front camera. As for the truly full-screen iPhone that everyone is looking forward to, he believes that Apple will not achieve a technological breakthrough until at least 2030, a full three years later than previously expected.
Ross Young emphasized,He is confident in the authenticity of this revelation.If the news is true, it will still take 5 years before the release of the true full-screen iPhone.
