Apple has been granted a patent for new technology that could potentially bring in-display Face ID to future iPhone models, possibly starting with the iPhone 17 series. The patent describes a method to allow infrared light, crucial for Face ID, to pass through the pixels under the screen by selectively removing parts of each individual pixel.
This innovation suggests that Apple may be working towards a more refined version of under-display technology, similar to what Samsung uses for the Galaxy Z Fold 6. While rumors of in-display Face ID have been circulating since 2021, speculations point towards a potential launch with the iPhone 17 in March 2023, initially in the Pro models. Apple’s recent development indicates a commitment to advancing its mobile technology rapidly, setting the stage for significant improvements in future iPhone generations.
The introduction of in-display Face ID could signify a transformative step for iPhone design, potentially eliminating the need for the existing Dynamic Island and delivering a sleeker display. While ultimate implementation remains uncertain, the patent teases an exciting future for Apple enthusiasts eager for cutting-edge advancements in smartphone technology.
