iPhone 18 Pro Models Rumored to Feature Under-Screen Face ID With Top-Left Camera Hole

by

Apple's two-generations-away iPhone 18 Pro models will likely feature under-screen Face ID, according to The Information.

iPhone Top Left Hole Punch Face ID Feature 2
The paywalled report today cited a source who said the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will have only a small hole in the top-left corner of the screen, to accommodate the front-facing camera, with all Face ID hardware moved under the screen.

With under-screen Face ID, the report said the iPhone 18 Pro models would no longer have a pill-shaped cutout at the top of the screen. However, it is unclear if that means the Dynamic Island feature would be discontinued.

Display industry analyst Ross Young also previously claimed that iPhone 18 Pro models would feature under-screen Face ID, so this rumor is now backed by multiple sources. Apple is expected to introduce the devices in September 2026.

It’s a terrible idea that I hope isn’t true. Putting the camera off to the side like this will cause the same problem the older iPads had when it had the camera off to the side when it was in landscape orientation during FaceTime calls. Doing this on the much more used iPhone would be just so dumb and will cause a weird parallax issue when using that camera for anything. And for what? Is it just that awful to have a little bit of black space at the top center of a smartphone? These are such none problems

should be 2025, right?
If the iPhone 17 is coming out this year (2025), then the iPhone 18 will be out next year (2026).

What year do you think we're in right now?

😂 iPhones looking more and more like Android phones. First was larger screen iPhones. Next up is the Google Pixel camera bar. After that comes the pin hole front camera in the upper left corner.




R.I.P. Dynamic Island?
