The first Face ID under the screen will arrive with the iPhone 17 Pro

Rumors about new Apple devices are daily bread. But there are rumors and rumors. Depending on which part of the supply chain the information comes from, as well as the leak history of the analyst publishing it, we may place one or another weight on that information. Ross Young is a well-known Apple leaker who posted a few days ago Apple’s roadmap with its iPhone until 2027 and we can see how the first Face ID integrated under the screen will have the iPhone 17 Pro.

We won’t see Face ID under the screen until the iPhone 17 Pro

We’ve spent years fantasizing about a notchless screen on the iPhone. However, Apple gave us one lime and one sand with the iPhone 14 Pro. They eliminated the notch as we knew it, but incorporated the Dynamic Island, which was still a modern notch. The future of the iPhone is on a screen without any type of external element, but to get there, it takes a lot of investment and a lot of time until the technology is developed enough to make it happen.

In Ross Young’s new leak on his twitter account lays out the iPhone roadmap around two elements: Face ID and front camera. This revolves around the touchscreen panel and the various technologies needed to avoid removing the dynamic island to insert both the camera and the Face ID sensors under the screen. If we analyze the image, we can highlight the following:

• The iPhone 15 (2023) and iPhone 16 (2024) will not incorporate any new features except for the entry of Dynamic Island in the standard models with the iPhone 15.
• The iPhone 17 (2025) will be the first iPhone to integrate a Face ID under the screen with a black circular slit in the shape of a hole with the camera. While the standard models, the iPhone 17 will continue with the dynamic island.
• It will be necessary to wait for the iPhone 19 (2027) for the standard models to receive Face ID under the screen and the hole for the camera. While the iPhone 19 Pro models will integrate both the camera and the Face ID sensors under the screen, leaving a touch panel only for the screen.
• The standard model of the iPhone 17 will also integrate the ProMotion functions that the Pro models of the current iPhone already have.

This diagram will evolve over time since the one published by Young in May 2022 announced the arrival of the Face ID sensor integrated into the panel much earlier than with the iPhone 17. We can only wait to see how the next iphones from apple.
