- The iPhone 18 might have under-display Face ID
- With the iPhone 19, Apple may transfer the selfie digicam underneath the show too
- The firm can also be apparently testing a 200MP digicam
Apple doesn’t often change up the design of its telephones yearly, however the subsequent three years may very well be completely different, as a leaker has shared a roadmap pointing to vital visible modifications with every upcoming era.
Digital Chat Station (through NotebookCheck) has shared a claimed roadmap detailing how Apple may alter the design of every iPhone from the iPhone 17 by to the iPhone 19. First up, with this yr’s fashions we’ll apparently see the long-rumored horizontal, rectangular digicam block. No surprises there.
But then in 2026 with the iPhone 18, Apple will apparently conceal Face ID underneath the display screen, so there’s only a punch-hole digicam cut-out, after which with the iPhone 19 in 2027, the digicam can even apparently be hidden underneath the display screen, permitting for an all-screen design with no cut-out.
Numerous sources have urged that that is one thing Apple is engaged on, and a few agree with this timeline – actually way back to 2023 we heard that the iPhone 19 may get an under-display digicam. Still, that’s a great distance off so we’d take this with a pinch of salt.

What we additionally may see someday within the subsequent few years is an iPhone with a 200MP digicam – which might be a match when it comes to megapixels for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and way over the 48-megapixels present in present iPhones.
According to the identical supply (this time through @Jukanlosreve) Apple is testing a 200MP sensor, but when it’s solely being examined there’s no assure it’ll ever be used. We additionally wouldn’t count on to see it on the iPhone 17 sequence, since that is the primary we’re listening to of it, and we’d suppose such a giant spec change would have usually been leaked lengthy prior to now.
Digital Chat Station doesn’t say which mannequin may get this, however we’d assume then that we received’t see it earlier than the iPhone 18 on the earliest. And with all these leaks it’s completely attainable that solely the Pro and Pro Max fashions will truly see these modifications, no less than initially, although the supply doesn’t specify.
