Leaks suggest that the iPhone 18 Pro series, which is set to hit the market in 2026, is likely to receive some major upgrades. Among these, the most eagerly awaited one is the possible introduction of under - display Face ID on an iPhone.

To make this a reality, Apple is currently working on an innovative "micro - transparent glass" solution. This approach aims to hide the Face ID components beneath the screen, thus minimizing screen cutouts and elevating the overall visual experience.

The technology entails the use of specially processed glass materials in certain sections of the OLED display. By doing so, it enhances the transmittance of infrared light, effectively overcoming the main technical obstacle associated with placing Face ID components under the screen.

If this technology is successfully put into practice, the iPhone 18 Pro series will boast a more uninterrupted display area and a sleeker front - facing design, offering users a brand - new visual feast.
