Under-screen Face ID always seems to be a year away, and the latest rumor now pins it to the 2026 iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models.
Writing on X/Twitter in April, Display Supply Consultants’ Ross Young’s original roadmap claimed that an under-screen Face ID iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max would replace the existing camera notch with only pinhole front-facing cameras.
However, Young has tweaked that a bit. He says he has heard that under-screen Face ID is being pushed back a year to 2026.
