If the total disappearance of the Dynamic Island seems inevitable, the complete integration of these components under the iPhone screen would not happen until 2027. Before that, only the sensors dedicated to Face ID would initially be affected. time, before Apple was able to offer a design where the front sensor would also be housed under the Oled screen of its mobiles.
The site The Elec, often well informed, specifies that LG Innotek has reached an advanced stage of development of an Under panel camera (UPC in English), after the filing of several patents linked to this technology. The South Korean supplier would rely on a new generation of lenses allowing it to circumvent the main problem of under-screen cameras, that is to say the lack of light reaching the photo sensor hidden under the panel. Always according to The ElecLG Display, a subsidiary of LG dedicated to screens, would work in parallel on the development of panels allowing more light to pass through, to support image quality.
As we have seen with the sensors of the type used by Samsung on its latest Z Fold, for example, it is difficult to provide photos that match the selfie photo modules currently used, which is why Apple is would initially focus on the integration of its Face ID module under the screen of future iPhones. If we should not hope for UPC under the screen of future generations of iPhone before 2027, the sources of The Elec seem convinced that the Face ID module will precede it by several years.
