In 2024, the iPhone 16 Pro will be equipped with a Face ID sensor under the screen. It’s not the first time we’ve heard of the Face ID sensor under the display, but we’ll apparently have to wait until next year to see it on the iPhone 16.
Apple would have planned to integrate the Face ID sensor under the screen in order to reduce the size of the notch and to have a larger screen. In 2021, the iPhone 14 was already expected to host the Face ID sensor under the screen when it was released in 2022. Eventually, Apple introduced the Dynamic Island which is the dynamic notch of the iPhone 14 Pro . According to a new report, the iPhone 16 Pro will be the first to have Face ID under the screen.
A report from The Elec claims that the iPhone 16 Pro expected in 2024 may have the Face ID sensor under the display. Apple could thus reduce the size of the Dynamic Island, leaving a larger screen for users. The Elec, however, does not specify whether Face ID under the screen will be as effective as it is currently on the screen.
Will Face ID under the iPhone 16 Pro screen be as effective?
At the arrival fingerprint sensors under the screen of smartphones, some users complained about slow sensors. They also encountered errors to unlock their smartphone. We could therefore have the same fears with Face ID under the screen. Will iPhone 16 Pro and Ultra have the same unlock speed with the sensor under the screen? It is still difficult to know.
With Face ID under the screen, Apple is moving more and more towards an iPhone with a screen without a notch as we have already seen on some Android smartphones. Indeed, the notch or the punch would only be used to accommodate the front camera. The Elec also expects Apple to introduce a front camera under the screen after the iPhone 16 Pro.
While waiting for the iPhone 16 Pro and its novelties in 2024, Apple is preparing to release the iPhone 15 in the fall of 2023. Four models will be launched: the iPhone 15, the iPhone 15 Plus, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra. Incidentally, trial production of the iPhone 15 has already started in China.
