The buzz around the iPhone 17 is getting louder, and this time it's not about design or camera features. One of the most eagerly anticipated changes could be the inclusion of under-screen Face ID—a change that can transform the way we interact with Apple's flagship device.
A Seamless Display Like Never Before
Apple fans have been pining for a real edge-to-edge display with no cutouts or notches for decades. Competitors Samsung and OnePlus have already experimented with the under-display camera, but Apple has been taking its sweet time in typical company perfectionist fashion. The iPhone 17 might finally deliver: Face ID sensors embedded behind the display, eliminating the need for a Dynamic Island or notch.
If this occurs, it may bring in the cleanest iPhone design to date. Technology experts believe this will also introduce a new benchmark in biometric security as Apple has been seen employing a new form of under-panel sensor that works well even in low-light settings.
How Face ID Is About to Evolve
The iPhone's Face ID technology has always been cutting-edge. But under-screen technology may make it quicker, smarter and more secure. Insider suggests the iPhone 17 could feature a dual-mode Face ID that incorporates infrared and ultrasonic mapping to be more precise. That could mean being able to unlock your phone at shallower angles and even through sunglasses or masks—something customers have been asking for years.
As the competition barrels toward full-screen devices, Apple's next move with the iPhone 17 could leapfrog the industry once again. Under-screen Face ID is more than a surface-level improvement—it's a statement.
