iPhone Fold: Face ID in great absent on this 2026 generation?

Apple would be facing a size dilemma. The apple brand is completing the development of its first “iPhone Fold”. The long -awaited folding smartphone on the Cupertino side could arrive for the end of 2026, or the early 2027 at the latest.

But according to several rumors, published in recent weeks, some technical points would still be under discussion on the side of the Apple Park. The thinking heads of the apple would in particular be debating the presence, or not, from the front ID in the smartphone.

Indeed, facial recognition technology, present on all iPhone without exception since its presentation, would see its presence questioned. In a new report, Apple Ming-Chi Kuo analyst indicates that the apple should not use Face ID onl’iPhone FoldFor a simple question of space.

With such a fine screen, Apple would not have the technical possibility of integrating such technology. For Kuo, the size constraints prevents Apple from integrating its Face ID module into the first generation iPhone Fold. If these words prove to be exact, Apple could then give up its “Dynamic Island” technology, and the iPhone Fold simply would have the right to a camera with a punch in the center of the screen, as folding smartphones at Android already offer it.

Apple would have decided

In recent hours, it was the user of the Weibo social network, known by the pseudonym of eyes1122 who has returned oil to the fire. In a short message posted on X, he explains that the punch is not only an option mentioned by Apple. This is the solution that will be presented in just over 18 months.

With such technology, the iPhone Fold would still get closer to theGalaxy Fold de Samsungand Google's Pixel Fold. Difficult then to justify a price twice higher, as some rumors already suggest.
