The iPhone 15 series didn’t even launch yet, and we’re getting plenty of iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 info. Ross Young, a well-known analyst, shared some display-related iPhone 16 info, adding some details for the iPhone 17 series too. It seems like the iPhone 17 Pro phones will ditch the Dynamic Island, and get under-display Face ID.
The iPhone 17 Pro series to include under-display Face ID, and ditch the Dynamic Island
So, the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus are said to include a pill-shaped cutout, the so-called Dynamic Island. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, not so much. Those two phones will finally adopt the hole punch design. In other words, they’ll have a single hole at the top, as we’ve seen on a ton of Android phones.
Apple seemingly plans to include an under-display Face ID system in the iPhone 17 Pro series. That’s why it’ll be able to ditch the pill-shaped cutout, and replace it with a single camera hole.
All iPhone 17 models are said to feature larger displays with taller aspect ratios. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro will include 6.27-inch screens. The iPhone 17 Plus and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature 6.86-inch displays.
All iPhone 17 models will feature 120Hz displays
With the iPhone 17 series, Apple finally plans to fully adopt high refresh rate screens. According to Ross Young, all four iPhone 17 models will feature 120Hz refresh rate AMOLED displays.
If you do some quick math, you’ll realize that the iPhone 17 series is expected to arrive in 2025. So, we’re still quite far away from that point, over two years, in fact. The iPhone 15 series is coming in September this year, while the iPhone 16 models are expected in 2024.
As per usual, Apple is taking its sweet time when it comes to adopting new tech. Hole punch displays are old news, generally speaking, and yet Apple will adopt them in 2025, no sooner. That’s just one example, of course. It is the way this company does things, however, so… there you go.
