US EditionApple tipped to be working on Under Display Camera tech for the iPhone 18
- Digital Chat Station revealed on Monday that Apple is testing under-display Face ID technology for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models expected in 2026.
- Apple delayed the under-display Face ID feature from earlier models due to the challenge of integrating 3D facial recognition sensors under the OLED display without losing accuracy.
- The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max prototypes are expected to have a single hole-punch cutout for the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors, whereas the base iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Air models will continue to use a more traditional multi-hole front camera design.
- Industry insiders stress that Apple must ensure the new under-display Face ID technology delivers accuracy and protection levels comparable to the existing system before implementing it broadly.
- Apple plans a split launch strategy, releasing the iPhone 18 Pro models in fall 2026 and the standard iPhone 18 variants in spring 2027, aligning the latter with the iPhone's 20th anniversary.
