A new rumor suggests that Face ID could be located under the screen of the iPhone 16 Pro. Dynamic Island could be greatly reduced to house only the selfie punch camera.
The main reason for the existence of the notch and then Dynamic Island on iPhones is Face ID. Apple’s facial recognition system requires too many sensors to fit under the screen. If this is also what the identity of Apple smartphones has done (and does), it is above all a technical constraint that the competition has not followed.
In a few years this could be history.
Face ID for the screen: it would be soon
how do you remember 9to5Mac, it is known that Apple has prepared patents for Touch ID and Face ID under the screen. Technically, it might be possible to integrate the two unlock features, but this would come at an additional cost. Some analysts have been leaning towards an under-display Touch ID and Face ID integration in Dynamic Island for the upcoming iPhone 16 for several months now. Others like Mark Gurman, a journalist for Bloomberg often well-informed, he doesn’t believe in a return of Touch ID on the iPhone. korean media the elect Last year he submitted the thesis for a die-cut design with Fade ID under the screen.
This same newspaper indicates these days that ” Apple is expected to make a big change to the low-end OLED on the iPhone 15 series this year, and implement the ‘Under Panel Face ID’ feature that hides Face ID under the Pro line’s screen next year on the series. . », relays patent apple. The latter also specifies that the manufacturer could bring the selfie camera under the screen after having integrated Face ID under the screen. Something to improve the immersion and design of future iPhones.
On the side of 9to5Mac furthermore, we are going in that direction: the medium writes that ” there seems to be a growing consensus that the iPhone 16 Pro models will be where the patents come to fruition ».
Dynamic Island will reach all iPhone 15
The media patent apple transmits in addition to that a new report from a supply chain in Taiwan: ” claims that Apple has confirmed that it will apply its Dynamic Island camera aperture to all four iPhone 15s scheduled to launch in September “. Information correlated by Bloomberg this January 9.
Enough to cause a definitive break between the iPhone 11 to 14 and the iPhone 15. As of today, only the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max benefit from Dynamic Island.
In 2023, Apple will (surely) present its new iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Max, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra. Price, release date, technical sheet… We take stock of the first available data on them.
