A market researcher is now making the claim that Apple will have both folding iPhones and under-screen Face ID — but both won’t be ready to launch for years.
It’s been reported previously that the iPhone 16 Pro will move to an under-panel Face ID sensor and presumably therefore end the need for either a notch or the Dynamic Island. Apple has also been said to be working on two prototype folding iPhones — if it hasn’t abandoned the idea entirely.
According to The Elec, however, senior market researcher Omdia Kang Min-soo has been telling the 2024 Korea Display Conference audience that Apple will have foldables and under-panel Face ID later than expected. The iPhone 17 range will include a foldable, but it will be the iPhone 18 Pro that could go full-screen without a Dynamic Island.
