Apple would already be testing a PRO iPhone 16 model equipped with a “punch” at the front. This echoes several rumors, notably corroborated by researcher Ming-Chi Kuo, and according to which this format could appear very soon in the apple firm. Today is still theDynamic Islandwho sits at the front ofiPhone 15and iPhone 15 pro.
The advantage of the punch is above all to offer a better size/screen ratio. The front sensor is then more discreet. But it is not an easy task, because Apple TrueDepth Technology is quite imposing and therefore less easy to hide than in competition. It is this system that allows biometric unlocking, thanks to the recognition of faces (Face ID).
Not even for next year?
Despite this prototype, it seems to be studying internally, no iPhone 16 pro withoutDynamic Islandcould not finally see the light of day in 2024. However, Apple could reveal an iPhone 17 pro with the punch, about a year later. The release date of the high -end iPhone is generally set in September.
In any case, it is not uncommon to see Apple test so much upstream certain new features. The mixed reality headsetVision Pro, for example, had already been talked about more than five years before his official presentation. Besides, the device is not yet available for the general public. And as in the case of this future potential smartphone, we do not know the exact date of marketing.
The camera would even soon be invisible
With this, let's not forget that other corridor noises suggest that Apple also works on a version of the iPhone with a completely “full” slab. Understand that the camera would actually be hidden under the screen, this time. To do this, it would be necessary, of course, that the display is transparent.
Other smartphone brands have already succeeded in this feat. This is for example the case of Samsung with one of his folding mobile phones, or the Chinese Oppo. But Apple still refuses to officially confirm its interest in novelty.
