iPhone 17 May Have Under Display Face ID

Introduction

Apple is one of the biggest smartphone companies in the world. Every year, millions of people wait for the launch of the new iPhone. This year, there is exciting news about the iPhone 17. Reports suggest that Apple may finally introduce under-display Face ID technology in the iPhone 17 series. This means the notch on the front screen may completely disappear.

In this article, we will discuss what under-display Face ID is, how it works, why Apple is planning this change, expected design improvements, other features of iPhone 17, its possible release date, and what this means for iPhone users.

1. What is Under Display Face ID?

Under-display Face ID means that the sensors used for Face ID will be hidden under the phone’s screen. Currently, Apple uses a notch to keep these sensors. The notch has:

  • Infrared camera

  • Flood illuminator

  • Dot projector

  • Front camera

With under-display technology, all these sensors will work through the display. The screen will show no cutout or notch, giving a full-screen experience.

2. How Does Under Display Technology Work?

Under-display technology allows the screen to become partially transparent where the sensors are placed. When you unlock the phone using Face ID:

  • The screen area becomes transparent for a moment

  • The sensors scan your face through the screen

  • The phone unlocks instantly

This technology is already used in under-display fingerprint scanners, but under-display Face ID is more advanced as it uses multiple sensors for secure unlocking.

3. Why is Apple Planning This Change?

Apple always focuses on giving users the best display experience. Removing the notch will:

  • Make the screen look bigger and cleaner

  • Improve viewing experience for videos, games, and reading

  • Keep Apple ahead of its competitors in design innovation

Many Android brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, and Oppo have already launched under-display camera phones, but their quality is not yet perfect. Apple wants to ensure high-quality performance and security before launching under-display Face ID.

4. Design Changes in iPhone 17

If Apple introduces under-display Face ID, the iPhone 17 will have:

No notch on the front screen
Full-screen display with slim bezels
Possibly a small cutout for the front camera or a fully under-display camera if technology is ready

This design change will make the iPhone look modern and premium. Many users have complained about the notch since iPhone X. Finally, Apple is solving this issue with advanced technology.

5. Other Expected Features in iPhone 17

Apart from under-display Face ID, the iPhone 17 series is expected to come with:

1. New A19 Bionic Chip
The iPhone 17 will have Apple’s new A19 Bionic chipset, which will be faster and more power-efficient than the A18.

2. Improved Cameras
The rear camera setup will have:

  • A new 48MP main sensor with better low-light performance

  • Ultra-wide and telephoto lenses with improved clarity

  • Better front camera for selfies and video calls

3. Longer Battery Life
Apple may use stacked battery technology to increase battery capacity without making the phone thicker.

4. iOS 19
The iPhone 17 will run on iOS 19, which will have many AI-based features, better widgets, and improved privacy controls.

5. Slimmer and Lighter Design
Apple is working to make the iPhone 17 slimmer and lighter by changing internal components and using new materials.

6. Release Date

Apple usually launches its new iPhones in September every year. Based on this pattern, the iPhone 17 is expected to be launched in September 2025. The official date will be announced by Apple in August or early September before the launch event.

7. Expected Price

The price of iPhone 17 will depend on the model and storage variant. Reports suggest:

  • iPhone 17: Starting at $999 USD

  • iPhone 17 Pro: Starting at $1199 USD

  • iPhone 17 Pro Max / Ultra: Starting at $1299 USD

In Pakistan, prices may start from Rs. 300,000 to Rs. 450,000, depending on taxes and PTA approval.

8. Benefits of Under Display Face ID

Better Design: No notch gives a clean, modern look
More Screen Space: Full display for gaming and videos Same Security: Apple will keep the same Face ID security level
Future Innovation: This will open the door for other under-display features like camera and sensors

9. Challenges for Apple

While under-display Face ID is a great innovation, Apple has to solve some challenges:

Display Transparency: Making the screen fully clear for sensors without reducing display quality
Speed and Accuracy: Ensuring Face ID works as fast and accurate as current models
Production Costs: This technology is expensive, which may increase the iPhone price

Apple is known for its perfection in features. That is why it took them so many years to work on under-display Face ID technology before introducing it to the market.

10. What This Means for iPhone Users

For iPhone users, under-display Face ID will be a major design upgrade. People who don’t like the notch will finally get a full-screen iPhone. It also shows that Apple is moving towards a truly bezel-less iPhone in the future, with all sensors and cameras hidden under the screen.

11. Competition

Many Android brands like Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi, Vivo, and Honor are working on under-display cameras and sensors. However, none of them have yet achieved the perfect quality needed for daily use. If Apple succeeds with under-display Face ID, it will set a new standard in the smartphone industry.

Conclusion

The news that iPhone 17 may have under-display Face ID has created excitement among Apple fans. If this technology is introduced, it will be one of the biggest design changes in iPhone history since the removal of the home button.

The iPhone 17 will come with:

 Under-display Face ID
 New A19 Bionic chipset
 Improved cameras
 Longer battery life
 Slimmer design

Apple always takes its time to launch new features only when they are fully ready. This makes users trust Apple for quality, security, and performance.
