On April 21, Guo Mingxi, a well-known analyst in Apple's industry chain, posted a message on social media that the real full-screen iPhone in 2024 is about to come out, using an off-screen front camera and off-screen Face ID. While under-screen front camera shooting is detrimental to under-screen conditions, the new ISP and algorithm help improve its selfie effect.
Guo Mingji's remarks are based on his previous predictions, Guo once said that iPhone phones will not use the off-screen Touch ID solution in the short term, that is, the under-screen fingerprint recognition function of the Android camp. Coincidentally, display analyst Ross Young also holds a similar view, the analyst has revealed that the iPhone16 series will not use the under-screen Touch ID scheme, but is expected to be equipped with the off-screen Face ID function.
Guo Mingxi also said that the reason for launching a true full-screen iPhone in 2024 is not because of technical problems, but because of marketing decisions. As early as 2019, there were rumors that Apple was at least testing a true full-screen iPhone and made a prototype, with its TrueDepth camera sensor for Face ID mounted in a thin bezel at the top of the screen.
At present, the Android camp has released a number of off-screen camera true full-screen mobile phones, but due to technical problems, its selfie effect is inevitably somewhat unsatisfactory. From the perspective of Guo Mingxi's revelations, for the iPhone, the technical problems are not big, mainly caused by marketing decisions. It is true that for the iPhone that still uses the bangs screen, the hole-digging screen is also good, it is reported that this year's iPhone 14 Pro version of the model may use a single hole + pill screen, the specific iPhone 16 series can use the real full screen solution under the screen, wait and see.
