Apple iPhone 18 Pro’s display rumored to look radically different by ditching a key feature

Moving the Face ID technology under the display would allow for a more uninterrupted screen area, bringing Apple closer to achieving a truly edge-to-edge viewing experience. However, the report does not clarify the fate of the Dynamic Island software feature. It’s unknown if Apple will adapt the software to work around the single camera hole, or if the feature will be replaced entirely by the time the iPhone 18 series launches.Apple has gradually reduced the size of its display intrusions, moving from the original notch introduced with the iPhone X to the Dynamic Island on recent models. Achieving under-screen Face ID would represent a significant step in this design progression.

While some Android manufacturers, like Samsung, have already implemented under-display cameras on certain devices, integrating the complex suite of sensors required for Apple’s secure Face ID system without affecting performance or display quality presents a considerable technical challenge.Compared to the rumored changes for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro, which seemed to be geared largely towards the back of the device, the potential shift with the iPhone 18 Pro appears to be all about the display. If Apple successfully implements under-screen Face ID, it could offer a noticeably cleaner design that many users have been anticipating, assuming the technology works reliably without compromise to facial recognition speed or security. The focus will be on Apple’s ability to execute this leap seamlessly.
