Apple Delays Under-Display Face ID Technology, Expected Debut with 2026 ‘Pro’ iPhone Models

Face ID appeared in the iPhone X, and Apple has conducted several technical transformations to achieve a smaller notch size. Today, the company implements its latest development in the form of a pill-shaped cutout: Dynamic Island adjusts its size using software tricks when the user makes contact with the device.

This indicates that Apple is already prepared to move to the next phase, and under-display Face ID might debut in the next generation of devices. However, an analyst refutes this statement and says that this technology will appear only in 2026.

However, Ross Young, the founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, shared a product roadmap that the iPhone 17 series, which will be released in 2025, should have become the first with under-screen Face ID technology. Moreover, the entire lineup should have adopted LTPO panel technology and provided the ability of non-Pro models to use a soft 120Hz refresh rate to consumers.

However, Young responded to the question of an X user about the accuracy of this roadmap that under-screen Face ID was postponed to 2026. Therefore, most likely, this technology will be available to consumers only with the release of the iPhone 18 series, but most likely, only the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will receive fingerprint scanners, which will raise the model cost.

People may have to wait until the iPhone 19 in 2027, when it would likely be available in the non-Pro models at a lower expense. While this is pure speculation, Young’s exceptional track record makes his assertions more probable because he has a solid connection with the Apple supply chain and always provides fans with a heads-up on hardware changes or characteristics long before they occur. Assume Apple postpones.

Apple has delayed various technologies, including the acceptance of 5G and the inclusion of a telephoto lens in its first competitor iPhone 15 Pro Max until years later. Hence, it is conceivable that under-cover Face ID doesn’t work so well because the identification sensor and picture sensor efficiencies have substantially lowered, especially if the front-facing camera was put behind the OLED panel. Hopefully, Apple will continue refining these advancements and introduce under-screen Face ID in the coming years.
