Industry Analyst Kuo: 2024 ‘iPhone 16 Pro’ to Feature Under-Display Face ID and Under-Screen Front Camera

Apple industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has tweeted that Apple could debut its first truly full-screen iPhone in 2024. The “iPhone 16 Pro” could be the first Apple handset to feature an under-display Face ID and an under-screen front camera.


“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,” tweeted Kuo.

Kuo’s tweet links to a previous tweet in which he agreed with display analyst Ross Young’s who said that under-screen Face ID is coming to the iPhone 16, while Touch ID is no longer in the plans.


Kuo’s earlier tweet suggested that Apple’s roadmap for adopting under-display Face ID in 2024 was “less of a technical issue” and was more likely a marketing decision. However, his latest thoughts on the matter appear to suggest that current hardware and software limitations could also be a factor in the decision.

Apple’s higher-end iPhone 14 models are expected to debut this fall while lacking the much-maligned display notch, replacing it with a pill-shaped cutout as well as a hole-punch camera.
