Face ID Under the Display Returns to Being an iPhone 15 Pro Rumor

by

Based on the latest rumors, it is now looking unlikely that iPhone 14 Pro models will have Face ID under the display as initially claimed.

Beyond iPhone 13 Better Blue Face ID
Earlier today, display industry consultant Ross Young claimed that iPhone 14 Pro models will feature both hole-punch and pill-shaped cutouts near the top of the display. Young believes the hole will be for the Face ID dot projector, while the pill-shaped cutout will supposedly house the front camera and an infrared camera for Face ID at a minimum.

In a follow-up tweet, Young has since claimed that the infrared camera will not be moved under the display until 2023 or 2024, suggesting that Face ID will not be fully under the display until the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro.

It's worth noting that oft-accurate analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that Face ID would not be moved under the display until 2023 all along.

While the two-hole design for iPhone 14 Pro models would not provide a completely seamless viewing experience, it would still be another step in that direction. And if Young and Kuo prove to be right, we might finally get an all-screen design next year.

Am I the only one that really, at the end of the day, simply does not even notice or care about the notch area all that much?

Yes, you are the only one.

It’s not like nobody ever makes comments like this every time there’s an article about the notch or anything.

We'll have an iPhone without a notch in 2023 but will have an in-screen charging port instead.

Here comes the barrage of people saying how the notch doesn’t bother them and how they don’t notice it at all therefore no change is necessary.

Even though them bezels on previous iPhone generations never bothered anyone who don’t visit sites like these either.

Those bezels were still complained about though until we got the notched ‘bezel-less’ displays that they’re now happy with, yet those same people don’t seem to understand why there’s others who don’t want it there and would much prefer a uniform display (meaning zero cut-outs on every side of it) instead.

Not in Apple flagship iPhones…
In flagship phones, a combination of both (Face ID + Touch ID) is the future.
Some apps could require a higher level of security, and use both simultaneously, such as Bank apps.
Other less sensitive apps could use one or the other.
