Phones Canada recently reported that a microchip facility in the UK owned by U.S. semiconductor company Coherent faced closure after losing its biggest customer, Apple. The facility produced components for Apple’s Face ID, but Apple stopped placing orders due to changes in the upcoming iPhone models.
The latest news suggests that the under-display Face ID may debut this year with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. DSCC’s roadmap originally indicated a 2025 release for this feature, but recent developments hint at an earlier arrival.
Key points from the article include:
– The microchip facility closure in Britain following Apple’s decision to stop ordering components for Face ID.
– Speculation about under-display Face ID coming to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max this year.
– DSCC’s roadmap predicts an all-screen iPhone in 2027 with under-display Face ID and front-facing camera.
– Features expected in the upcoming iPhone 16 series, including 5x optical zoom, new 48MP cameras, and A18 Pro processor built on TSMC’s N3E node.
The potential inclusion of under-display Face ID in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max could be a game-changer for Apple enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting developments!
