Apple Reportedly Testing Under-Display Face ID for iPhone 18 Pro Models

Apple is reportedly testing under-display Face ID technology for its upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models, according to a recent leak on Weibo. The company is said to be utilizing 'micro-transparent glass panels' to enable this feature, potentially allowing for a smaller Dynamic Island on the device.

The leak, shared by the Weibo account 'Smart Pikachu,' suggests that the under-display Face ID will be exclusive to the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Air are expected to retain the current Dynamic Island design without under-screen Face ID.

This development aligns with previous reports indicating that Apple is working on integrating Face ID components beneath the display to achieve a more seamless screen design. However, the company has not officially confirmed these plans, and the final design of the iPhone 18 series remains subject to change as development continues.
