This updated roadmap shared on Twitter reveals that there will be a circular cutout for the front-facing camera along with under-display Face ID technology.
US-based tech giant Apple is reportedly planning to bring under-panel Face ID technology to the Apple iPhone 17 Pro in 2027. According to a new report, it will remain exclusive to “Pro” model iPhones.
Performance analyst Ross Young recently shared an updated roadmap on Twitter. He added that the iPhone 17 Pro will be the first Apple device to feature under-panel Face ID technology. Young also said that “Apple to go all LTPO in 2025, with even the base model getting 120Hz refresh, finally.”
This updated roadmap shared on Twitter reveals that there will be a circular cutout for the front-facing camera along with under-display Face ID technology. This implementation is expected to last until 2027 when “Pro” iPhone models will move the camera below the display for a true “all screen” appearance.
Young previously predicted in May 2022 that the iPhone 16 Pro model would be the first to feature under-panel Face ID technology. However, he recently announced that it would be delayed by a year due to “censor issues”. This change means that the dynamic island’s two display cutouts will remain unchanged through three consecutive “Pro” iPhone generations.
Apart from the under-panel Face ID technology, the standard iPhone 17 model is expected to adopt ProMotion, which is currently exclusive to Apple’s high-end devices.
Meanwhile, Apple is also planning to bring another major change in its iPhones this year. The upcoming Apple iPhone 15 Pro is expected to come with a unique new feature – a multi-use action button instead of the traditional mute switch. According to leaked information, the iPhone 15 Pro will have a physical button on the side of the device that can be used for multiple purposes including muting calls, taking screenshots, and launching Siri.
The new button is said to be more versatile than the current mute switch, which is only used to silence incoming calls and notifications.
