The iPhone 18 Pro will have more usable screen area By placing the entire facial recognition system underneath, eliminating the Dynamic Island. The data indicates that Apple is working with 6,3-inch and 6,9-inch panels for its upcoming Pro models, dimensions that would therefore not vary from the current models, but in practice the screen will be slightly larger in both models.
Because Apple is reportedly preparing to integrate Face ID under the screen.This would mean that the facial recognition system's sensors would be hidden behind the panel, eliminating the need for them to be visible on the front. This technology would allow for a cleaner design, reducing the elements that currently occupy space at the top of the screen.
According to published information, The front camera would still be visible through a small hole.The Face ID sensors would be fully integrated under the screen. This approach would represent a significant change to the iPhone's front design, as it would visually separate the camera from the other sensors, something Apple hasn't done so far in its Face ID models.
According to these rumors, this year's iPhones were planned to look like this:
- iPhone 18: 6,3-inch display (120 Hz) and Dynamic Island
- iPhone Air 2: 6,5-inch display (120 Hz) and Dynamic Island
- iPhone 18 Pro: 6,3-inch (120Hz) display and under-display Face ID
- iPhone 18 Pro Max: 6,9-inch (120Hz) display and under-display Face ID
- Foldable iPhone: 7,7-inch internal display and 5,3-inch external display (120Hz). Touch ID.
Let's remember that the rumors point to Touch ID returns to the foldable iPhone due to space issuesSince Apple wants to make it as thin as possible, it would be impossible to fit the current facial recognition modules. Although I personally think this is the area where there might be a surprise this year.
