On April 21, foreign media MacRumors reported that Tianfeng International analyst Guo Mingxi predicted that Apple may launch the first true full-screen iPhone in 2024. Among them, the iPhone 16 Pro will be the first device equipped with off-screen Face ID and off-screen camera, completely saying goodbye to bangs and digging holes. If the news is true, then the iPhone 16 Pro will definitely sell out.
Guo Mingxi said that he believes that the true full-screen iPhone will come out in 2024, the high-end iPhone will use the off-screen camera and the off-screen Face ID, and Apple will improve the photo quality of the front-facing camera in low-light environments through ISPs and algorithms. However, at present, this is only a prediction, and it is not guaranteed that Apple will really be mass-produced in 2024, after all, the speed of Apple product upgrades is understood by everyone.
Apple doesn't seem ready to ship off-screen Touch ID technology on future iPhones, and display industry analyst Ross Young said the same. The iPhone 16 may carry face ID under the screen, but there will be no Touch ID, and it seems that the desire to have both is impossible to achieve. Although Touch ID is more convenient to use, it is really not as secure as Face ID, which may be one of the reasons why Apple does not want to use it.
For the product in two years, everyone can only think about it now, there is no way to make accurate predictions, and no one knows what Apple will plan in the future. However, off-screen camera technology is the trend of future development, and some Android models have taken the lead in using it. Although the display effect and image quality are still a little unsatisfactory, these should not be too big problems in 2024.
This year, the high-end model of the iPhone 14 series will cancel the bangs and replace it with a digging screen design. This is an epoch-making upgrade for Apple, because Liu Haiping has been used for 5 years. According to Apple's style, the design of the hole-digging screen will certainly not be used for only one year, and the bottom guarantee will have to be used for three generations. Therefore, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 must still be a hole-in-the-screen design, but there is still a certain possibility that face ID will be tried on the iPhone 16 Pro.
Everyone has been looking forward to the full-screen iPhone for too long, and now there are finally some less accurate revelations, and the possibility of the future is still there. However, there is still no information about the Type-C interface iPhone, is it impossible to see it in my lifetime?
