Apple will release its first full-screen iPhone in 2024, hiding the front facing camera and Face ID under the display, according to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
I think the real full-screen iPhone will come in 2024. High-end iPhones in 2024 would adopt an under-display front camera alongside the under-display Face ID. A low-light condition is detrimental to front camera quality, and ISP & algorithm are critical for quality improvements.
Notably, Kuo believes Apple is holding back the update for marketing reasons rather than technical hurdles.
My prediction is the same - under-display Face ID coming in 2024 (iPhone 16), and this time schedule is less of a technical issue and more of a marketing purpose.
This year's new iPhone 14 Pro will allegedly get a new 'pill + hole' cutout design in place of the notch, moving a little closer to a full screen design.
