Display industry analyst Ross Young revealed that the iPhone 18 Pro will not be equipped with under-screen Face ID technology, which is contrary to a previous report by The Information. Previously, The Information believed that the iPhone 18 Pro would use a single-hole screen with the front camera located in the upper left corner.
Ross Young pointed out that Apple moved some Face ID components to the bottom of the screen, so the area of the Smart Island of the iPhone 18 Pro series will be reduced, but it has not reached the level of a single hole-punch screen.
As for the 20th anniversary edition of the iPhone to be released in 2027, Ross Young believes that
the phone will continue the small Smart Island design of the 18 Pro, and its front hole shape will be similar to that of the Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro (as shown in the figure below).
Ross Young predicts that Apple will move all Face ID components to the bottom of the screen in 2028, and the display will only retain the hole for the front camera. As for the truly full-screen iPhone that everyone is looking forward to, he believes that Apple will not achieve a technological breakthrough until at least 2030, which is three years later than previously expected.
Ross Young stressed that he is confident in the authenticity of the leak. If the leak is true, it will take another five years before the release of a true full-screen iPhone.
