A well-known person under the pseudonym Ice Universe posted on his page on the Weibo social network specific information about the timing of the movement of the Face ID sensors below the surface of the iPhone screen. According to him, we will have to wait a long time. The under-screen Face ID system will first appear on iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max smartphones, which should be released only two and a half years later. And even last year such a system was attributed to the iPhone 15 Pro.

Earlier, South Korean publication The Elec, citing sources in the supply chain, said that Apple will place Face ID sensors under the screen on iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max smartphones next year. In addition, it was reported that the under-screen Face ID system will be on all iPhone 17 models in 2025.

As Android manufacturers continue to popularize under-display front cameras, it’s likely that this will actually happen. But Apple is known for taking its time, and a loyal audience can buy new smartphones every year, even without radical changes.
