Apple is Reportedly Testing Under-Display Face ID for iPhone 18 Pro, Potentially Revolutionizing Design and Security

Under-display cameras have been around for quite some time on Android, but only a few select manufacturers have implemented them, even though the technology has been available. However, if the rumors are true, this piece of tech could become mainstream in the future, as Apple is reportedly testing an under-display Face ID for the iPhone 18 Pro, which is expected to be released in 2026.

While Face ID uses 3D scanning technology that involves a set of sensors, Apple’s implementation of Face ID under the display could also mean that the camera may stay hidden beneath the display, rather than appearing through a punch hole. This would eliminate the notch or camera pill from the front entirely, making the future Apple display more visually appealing and offering more screen space.

Although the report suggests that Apple is testing the technology, this doesn’t mean they will fully embrace it right away or implement it in the iPhone 18 Pro. However, the possibility is promising—not only for Apple enthusiasts but for the entire market, as Apple is widely recognized as a trendsetter.

Under-display camera and scanning technology has been around on Android for years, but its implementation has often been a hit or miss. With Apple finally joining the trend, users can expect top-tier camera quality and security solutions.

It is also rumored that Apple is testing the same under-display Face ID for the alleged first folding iPhone. This adds another intriguing layer to the story as development on these devices is currently underway.
