There are many indications of Apple’s intention to incorporate Face ID facial recognition into the iPhone screen. This team was pointed out by many as the debut vehicle of this technology, however, it seems that it will not be so.
The thesis is raised by the renowned analyst Ross Young. His latest predictions suggest that the first device with Face ID sensors integrated into the screen will be the iPad Pro.
The iPad Pro with Face ID on the screen will arrive between 2023 and 2025
Ross Young’s latest prediction catches a lot of people off guard, as everyone expected the first model with Face ID on the screen to be the iPhone. It will not be so, at least if the predictions of this analyst are fulfilled.
In conversation with the MacRumors team, Young reveals that the iPad Pro will debut this technology. In addition, he advances that the first model with Face ID will be launched on the market between 2023 and 2025.
These data reveal that Apple may take up to three years to achieve this long-awaited feat. Until then, many engineering and quality tests will have to be carried out so that the results meet the quality parameters required by the company.
The iPhone will be the next model to house this technology
If all goes well, Ross Young reveals that the next product to host Face ID on the screen will be the iPhone. Something that has been speculated for some time, but should take longer than expected.
This analyst points out that this migration will not take place before 2026. That is, the first model to boast of this technology will be the iPhone 18 Pro, which will arrive at the end of the summer of this year.
Until then, Apple will have plenty of time to perfect one of the technologies most desired by its fans and users. The goal is to get an iPhone with a screen without any interruption.
The disappearance of the notch will come this year with the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro. This approach will be replaced by two cutouts that will house the front camera and all sensors related to Face ID.
