Ross Young, a display industry expert with a successful track record of accurately predicting future Apple, suggested that it is unlikely that the company will integrate Face ID components under the iPhone display until 2025.

According to Young’s recent tweet , the launch of Apple’s first device with under-display Face ID has been delayed until at least 2025 due to unresolved sensor issues. The product was originally expected to launch in 2024 – however, these delays may mean it remains an aspiration for a while longer. This means that the upcoming “iPhone 17 Pro” could be the first model to feature Face ID under display . However, he still assumes there will be a tiny cutout for the front-facing camera at the top.
Young's revised timeline conflicts with a report from Korean news source The Elec, which said the iPhone 16 Pro will feature technology next year. Given the accuracy of Young's predictions, it's likely that the technology won't arrive for at least another two years.

Recently, speculation has been mounting that Apple will expand the Dynamic Island feature to all four iPhone 15 models, after first implementing it on the iPhone 14 Pro series last year. When iPhones with under-display Face ID technology become available, users may still be able to use the Dynamic Island software.
Just recently, Young claimed that it could take until 2026 for Apple to introduce an iPhone with a full-screen display and Face ID, as well as with the front camera integrated underneath.

Face ID is the latest trend in biometric authentication. It is a system designed to securely unlock iPhones and other Apple products. The most obvious advantage of Face ID is its convenience. Instead of having to remember complicated passwords, you can simply unlock your device with your face. However, some experts have raised concerns about privacy violations when using facial recognition systems like Face ID.
