Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the high-end iPhone in 2024, the iPhone 16 Pro, will have a camera and Face ID under the display. This would mean that the device would completely do without a notch.
Once again, Ming-Chi Kuo has extrapolated from his previous reports instead of releasing new information. The analyst has now tweetedthat he expects a “true full-screen iPhone” for 2024.
I think the real full-screen iPhone will come in 2024. High-end iPhones in 2024 will have an under-display front camera in addition to the under-display Face ID. In low light conditions, the quality of the front camera suffers. ISP and algorithm are crucial to improve the quality.
This tweet follows a tweet from early April in which Kuo agreed with analyst Ross Young that under-display Face ID will arrive in 2024.

Kuo said at the time that he believes the "timeline is less of a technical issue and more of a marketing goal." The new tweet repeats that claim regarding Face ID, adding the prediction that the front selfie camera will also be moved under the display. Kuo is unclear on how that will happen, saying that "the quality of the front camera will be affected in low light." But the analyst also says that an image signal processor (ISP) and the right "algorithm are critical for quality improvements." While not relying on direct supply chain sources, he may be implying that the delay to 2024 in this case is to give Apple time to overcome technical hurdles. Whether Kuo will be right once again remains to be seen, of course. (Photo by bigtunaonline / Bigstockphoto)
