    iPhone 16 Pro may feature under-display Face ID San

    Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro model will reportedly feature under-display Face ID technology to provide a more usable display area. The tech giant is likely to place the parts needed for Face ID authentication directly under the iPhone’s display next year, reports MacRumors.

    The TrueDepth camera for Face ID won’t be visible under the display when it is not in use, instead it will appear seamlessly blended with the surrounding screen area.

    The hole in the display for the front camera is expected to remain on the iPhone 16 Pro, however, the overall display area and sense of immersion are likely to be improved.

    Since the under-display technology is not yet ready, the display cutouts will not change from the iPhone 14 Pro to the iPhone 15 Pro later this year. The iPhone maker is likely to adopt an underpanel camera (UPC) once it implements under-display Face ID technology, thereby eliminating all of the display cutouts on the iPhone currently in use, the report said.

    Meanwhile, in August last year, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had said that “high-end iPhones in 2024 would adopt an under-display front camera alongside the under-display Face ID”.

    iPhone 14 series likely to have autofocus front camera

    Tech giant Apple is likely planning to unveil its upcoming iPhone 14 series with upgraded front-facing camera with autofocus. According to Gizmo China, details about the front-facing camera of the Apple iPhone 14 series models have leaked online as analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed what improvements will be made to the front camera of the devices. As per the new report, all four models—iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max will have an upgraded front-facing camera sensor with f/1.9 aperture and support for autofocus.

    In comparison, all the models in the current-generation Apple iPhone 13 series come with a front-facing camera sensor having an f/2.2 aperture and fixed focus. With a wider aperture, the smartphones will be able to capture more light. It is also said that the camera upgrades will result in an improved depth-of-field effect for the Portrait Mode photos and videos. On the other hand, the autofocus support for the front camera will enhance the focus during FaceTime calls or video calls using third-party apps. The Apple iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max are also expected to come with an upgraded rear camera configuration and possibly feature a 48MP wide lens as the primary sensor with support for 8K video recording. This is expected to result in a thicker camera bump for the smartphones, as revealed in the recently leaked renders, the report said.   Source: IANS
