Description:
A roadmap details when Apple might move Face ID and the selfie camera under the screen, and we're also hearing a 200MP camera could be in the works.
FULL STORY ======================================================================The iPhone 18 could have under-display Face ID With the iPhone 19, Apple might move the selfie camera under the display too The company is also apparently testing a 200MP camera
Apple doesnt usually change up the design of its phones every year, but the next three years could be different, as a leaker has shared a roadmap
pointing to significant visual changes with each upcoming generation.
Digital Chat Station (via NotebookCheck ) has shared a claimed roadmap detailing how Apple might alter the design of each iPhone from the iPhone 17 through to the iPhone 19. First up, with this years models well apparently
see the long-rumored horizontal, rectangular camera block. No surprises
there.
But then in 2026 with the iPhone 18, Apple will apparently hide Face ID under the screen, so theres just a punch-hole camera cut-out, and then with the iPhone 19 in 2027, the camera will also apparently be hidden under the
screen, allowing for an all-screen design with no cut-out.
Numerous sources have suggested that this is something Apple is working on, and some agree with this timeline in fact as far back as 2023 we heard that the iPhone 19 might get an under-display camera . Still, thats a long way off so wed take this with a pinch of salt. A Samsung-rivaling snapper Wow, Apple is testing a 200MP image sensor! pic.twitter.com/jDeVnzXqK6 May 27, 2025
What we also might see sometime in the next few years is an iPhone with a 200MP camera which would be a match in terms of megapixels for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra , and far more than the 48-megapixels found in current iPhones.
According to the same source (this time via @Jukanlosreve ) Apple is testing
a 200MP sensor, but if its only being tested theres no guarantee it will ever be used. We also wouldnt expect to see it on the iPhone 17 series, since this is the first were hearing of it, and wed think such a big spec change would have typically been leaked long before now.
Digital Chat Station doesnt say which model might get this, but wed assume then that we wont see it before the iPhone 18 at the earliest. And with all these leaks its entirely possible that only the Pro and Pro Max models will actually see these changes, at least initially, though the source doesnt specify.
