All Four iPhone 17 Models Just Tipped for ‘Metalens’ Upgrade
- In June 2025, GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu disclosed that metalens technology will be incorporated across the entire iPhone 17 lineup to enable a smaller Dynamic Island.
- This update follows earlier reports that only the iPhone 17 Pro Max would receive metalens, a shift driven by advances in ultrathin nanostructures focusing light precisely.
- Metalenses replace traditional curved lenses by integrating Face ID components in a smaller form, potentially making the Dynamic Island slimmer without losing functionality.
- Jeff Pu stated the metalens integration will allow the Face ID sensor size to shrink across the lineup, with the Dynamic Island maintaining its interactive resizing ability depending on app usage.
- While analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects the Dynamic Island to retain a similar size in the upcoming iPhone models, Pu anticipates a shift toward a smaller design that increases the screen-to-body ratio by late 2025.
