Nine upgrades to help the iPhone 18 Pro stand out

A Tom’s Guide opinion piece argues the iPhone 18 Pro must adopt nine upgrades to differentiate itself from rivals: a larger camera sensor, an under‑display camera (and possibly True/Face ID implications), improved zoom, silicon‑carbon batteries for higher energy density, faster charging, stronger durability (potential IP69 rating and better materials), a variable aperture lens, an under‑display Touch ID, and AI enhancements for photography. The piece notes these changes face space and design trade‑offs as Apple aims to outshine foldables while boosting camera performance.

Apple’s 20th‑anniversary iPhone 20 Pro plan teeters on display and biometric hurdles

Apple reportedly aimed to launch an iPhone 20 Pro next year to celebrate the iPhone’s 20th anniversary, featuring a bezel-free, notchless, potentially buttonless edge-to-edge display and even a foldable design. However, hardware limits—particularly around under‑display cameras and under‑display Face ID—along with crease issues on prototypes—are throwing the plan into doubt, and Apple may have to scale back, delay, or even abandon the ambitious features for the 20th anniversary launch.

"Apple's Next iPhone to Feature Under-Display Camera for Truly Bezel-Less Design"

Apple's Korean suppliers, LG Innotek and LG Display, have begun developing under-display cameras (UDC) for future iPhones, aiming to achieve a true "all-screen" appearance. The UDC technology sits beneath the display and does not result in a visible hole when the camera is not in use. LG Innotek is developing a special multiple lens system to improve image quality and brightness, while LG Display aims to increase the UDC's light transmittance. Apple is expected to adopt under-panel Face ID technology in 2025 and incorporate the UDC in 2027.

"Google's 'Holy Grail' Tech Puts Pixel Smartphones Ahead of iPhone in Underscreen Camera Race"

Google has revealed a new under-display camera technology in a recent patent application, which could potentially give its Pixel smartphones an edge over iPhones and Samsung Galaxy handsets. The technology aims to eliminate the notch or "Dynamic Island" from the display, providing users with an uninterrupted full-screen experience. Google's solution involves using specialized regions of the display that block or distort light in different ways, maximizing camera quality. By combining the output from each sensor using digital image processing and machine learning, the negative impact of shooting through a screen is reduced. While there is no guarantee that Google will produce such a camera in the near future, if successful, it could become a compelling reason to choose a Pixel device over an iPhone or Galaxy smartphone.

The Future of iPhone: Face ID and All-Screen Delayed

The iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to be the first iPhone model to feature Face ID technology under the display, with a circular cutout for the front camera until 2027. The standard iPhone 17 models will adopt ProMotion. However, the Dynamic Island will remain unchanged for three successive generations of iPhone 'Pro' due to "sensor issues". Under-display camera technology has limitations, including visible artifacts and lower image quality compared to traditional cameras.
