iPhone 18 likely to feature under-display Face ID

The iPhone 18 may feature under-display Face ID, allowing for a single hole-punch camera and hiding Face ID hardware. This change could reduce the size of the notch, which has been present since 2007. Rumors suggest that Apple plans to implement this technology by 2026 or 2027. Previous expectations for under-display Face ID in the iPhone 16 Pro have been pushed back. While other phones may lack advanced facial recognition, iPhones would maintain Face ID functionality. The integration of under-display cameras is still uncertain and may take additional years to achieve.
