Apple might drop one of its flagship iPhones next year to make room for a foldable model, and the iPhone 18 lineup could get a major facelift with under-display Face ID tech. A leaker on Weibo claims Apple is testing this setup using micro-transparent glass splicing, which would let them ditch the pill-shaped cutout for a simple punch-hole camera. The company is apparently working toward a completely uninterrupted screen without any visible holes or notches.
Under-screen cameras usually produce garbage image quality since the display gets in the way, but Apple could probably fix that with software tricks. The whole thing ties into their rumored plan for a totally bezel-free iPhone launching in 2027, which might skip the iPhone 19 name entirely and jump straight to iPhone 20 for the anniversary.
