Under-display Face ID no longer expected in 2024

  • Sensor issues to blame for apparent pushback
  • Under-display Face ID still expected before under-display front camera
  • Seamless all-screen iPhone design not coming till 2026 at the earliest

Apple is no longer expected to release its first iPhone with an under-display Face ID system in 2024, according to esteemed display-related analyst Ross Young.

In a tweet shared today, Young has taken back his earlier claims of at least one iPhone launching as soon as 2024 with under-display Face ID. Instead, he now expects the plans to have been delayed to 2025, at the earliest, owing to “sensor issues”. If true, the presumed iPhone “17 Pro” could be the first iPhone to embed Face ID components beneath the display. It is important to note that Young still expects a single-hole cutout in the display for the “17 Pro” front-facing camera.

Young did not elaborate on whether he now expects an under-display front camera to be delayed in a similar fashion to Face ID. He had previously expected a seamless all-screen iPhone design with both Face ID and the front camera hidden under the display as soon as 2026 for the so-called iPhone “18 Pro”.
