The notch-less iPhone era inches closer! Apple is actively testing under-display Face ID for September 2026’s iPhone 18 Pro models using specialized “spliced micro-transparent glass” technology, according to reliable Chinese supply chain sources, bringing us closer to the all-screen design fans have anticipated for years.

iPhone 18 Pro Display Technology
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Technology | Spliced micro-transparent glass window |
| Purpose | IR sensor transmission without distortion |
| Expected Model | iPhone 18 Pro & Pro Max |
| Launch Timeline | September 2026 |
| Dynamic Island | Smaller pill-shaped cutout (front camera only) |
| Face ID Location | Under-display (hidden) |
How It Works
Chinese leaker “Smart Pikachu”—known for accurate Android supply chain details—reports that Apple’s testing uses micro-perforated or nano-patterned glass to selectively improve infrared transmission above the TrueDepth sensor array. This approach lets Face ID’s IR sensors operate beneath the display without signal distortion, while keeping the front-facing camera in a smaller visible cutout.
The technique mirrors existing industry methods but represents Apple’s first implementation of the technology. The report suggests related suppliers are already accelerating production preparations, indicating serious progress beyond mere experimentation.
Smaller Dynamic Island, Not Elimination
Multiple sources now agree: the iPhone 18 Pro won’t eliminate the Dynamic Island entirely. Display analyst Ross Young and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman both report a slimmed-down pill-shaped cutout housing only the front camera, with TrueDepth components moving beneath the screen.
This contradicts earlier rumors claiming a single pinhole design. The micro-transparent glass window supports maintaining a smaller Dynamic Island for the camera while hiding Face ID sensors underneath.
Split Launch Strategy
Apple plans an unusual launch cadence for 2026: iPhone 18 Pro models debut in September alongside a foldable iPhone, while the standard iPhone 18 and affordable iPhone 18e arrive in early 2027. This split cycle allows Apple to focus premium features first while refining budget models.
The under-display Face ID appears exclusive to Pro models, maintaining differentiation between Apple’s flagship and standard lineups.
