After the introduction of the iPhone 17 series, the specifications and features of the iPhone 18 Pro lineup and its supposed successor, the iPhone 20 series, have recently started surfacing online. It seems Apple has grand plans for the 2027 iPhone, and new leaks are already suggesting that the iPhone 20 series could feature an invisible front-facing camera, with no visible cutouts in the display.
Apple’s 20th anniversary iPhone might ditch the Dynamic Island camera cutout
In a post on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging platform, tipster Digital Chat Station shared that Apple plans to launch its purported lineup of smartphones in 2027 with under-display cameras, which would coincide with the 20th anniversary of its iconic iPhone lineup. If true, then Apple could be planning to abandon the pill-shaped selfie camera cutout for its 2027 iPhone smartphones, which was first introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro smartphones.
The tipster also adds that this under-screen camera technology will combine 3D face recognition alongside a concealed front camera. Until now, Apple has been believed to have resisted adopting this technology until it develops a solution that addresses these quality concerns, and it seems the company has found a breakthrough.
While Android phones have experimented with similar designs, Apple is expected to overcome image-quality issues with its under-screen camera, which is usually caused by light distortion through advanced optical engineering. Moreover, the 20th anniversary iPhone could potentially feature a fully bezel-free display with curves along all four edges. The Cupertino-based tech giant is likely to skip the ‘iPhone 19’ moniker, as it did with the ‘iPhone 9’ naming scheme, when the iPhone X with Face ID technology was introduced alongside the iPhone 8 series in 2017.
