Little by little we are learning more details about the next generation iPhone that will be presented in September of this year. Although sometimes information comes up related to future models. And we already know the first details of the iPhone 16which would arrive in 2024 with a surprising design change.
One of the biggest leakers of information related to everything related to Apple is Ming-Chi Kuo, analyst at TF International Securities and whose predictions related to the products of the manufacturer of the bitten apple tend to be right quite often. And now, she just posted a message where he talks about the 2024 iPhone, which will have some notable design surprises.
Or this is what emerges from the last message that this analyst has published through his Twitter account and in which he indicates that The iPhone 16 Pro will be the first phone from the American company to feature Face ID under the screen.
The iPhone 16 will have the front camera hidden under the screen
I think the real full-screen iPhone will come in 2024. High-end iPhones in 2024 would adopt an under-display front camera alongside the under-display Face ID. A low-light condition is detrimental to front camera quality, and ISP & algorithm are critical for quality improvements.
In the message published by this analyst from TF International Securities, Ming-Chi Kuo indicates that “I believe that the true full-screen iPhone will arrive in 2024. The high-end iPhones of 2024 will adopt a front camera under the screen along with the Face ID under the screen. A low light condition is detrimental to the quality of the front camera, and the ISP and algorithm are critical to improving the quality.”
It should be remembered that this analyst is one of the main references in everything that is related to future Apple products, so we can give enough truth to the information he has published.
The problem is that this makes it clear that The idea of a Touch ID under the iPhone screen begins to fade. In principle, Apple was interested in recovering this technology, but it seems that it will not be the case in the end. More, if you take into account that Ross Young, another specialized screen analyst, has made it clear that Face ID under the screen will come to the iPhone 16, but there will be no Touch ID.
We don’t know the reason why Apple has decided to permanently dispense with Touch ID. It was known that at the core of the company there were doubts about whether to bet on a Face ID system under the screen or better to use a fingerprint reader, but it seems that the decision has already been made.
In any case, and regardless of the background that Ming-Chi Kuo has, we will have to wait a couple of years to see if the iPhone 16 launches the camera under the screen.
