iPhone 16 Pro Still on Track to Feature Under
The iPhone 16 Pro is still on track to feature an under-display Face ID sensor, according to a new report from The Elec. The device is also said to feature an under-display selfie camera, but that won’t be available until 2026.
The Elec’s report corroborates previous rumors that the iPhone 16 Pro will feature an under-display Face ID sensor. The sensor will reportedly be made by LG Innotek and will use light from the display to illuminate the user’s face for scanning.
The report also claims that the iPhone 16 Pro will be the first iPhone to feature an under-display selfie camera. The camera will be made by Samsung and will be located in the top-left corner of the display.

While the under-display Face ID sensor and selfie camera are both impressive technical feats, it’s worth noting that they may not be ready for prime time just yet. The Elec’s report says that mass production of the under-display Face ID sensor won’t begin until the second half of 2021, which means it’s likely that the feature will be delayed until 2022.
The under-display selfie camera is even further behind, with mass production not expected to begin until 2025. This means that the earliest we could see the feature on an iPhone is 2026.
It’s clear that Apple is working on some exciting new technologies for the iPhone, but it’s also clear that the company is in no rush to bring them to market. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as it gives Apple time to perfect the technology and make sure it’s ready for the mainstream.
Still, it’s exciting to think about what the iPhone might look like in a few years’ time, with features like an under-display Face ID sensor and selfie camera.
