First iPhone with under-screen Face ID may be delayed, but that’s good news
We've been waiting for Apple to deliver the perfect iPhone for years, but we're not quite there yet. An ideal display has minimal bezels and no holes or notches at the top. Rumors say such screens are in the works at Apple, and the iPhone maker has patented technology that would make cameras and sensors work despite being placed behind the OLED screen.
The iPhone 16 Pro models feature bezels thinner than anything on the market. They're so thin that they might be hazardous to the iPhone's integrity. That's what some iPhone 16 Pro drop tests have shown.
But Apple is nowhere near close to hiding at least some elements of the Dynamic Island under the display. A new report from Korea says that Apple might delay existing plans as the technology isn't quite where Apple wants it to be. This suggests the iPhone 17 series might not feature a hole-punch display, as some reports suggested.
As a fan of Face ID, I've come to realize that no matter how amazing a true all-screen iPhone would be, I value 3D face authentication too much to risk it not working properly once the sensors are moved under the screen. Like the thick camera module on the back, the Dynamic Island is a design compromise I appreciate.
