Before the the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro, rumours had been swirling that Apple<\/a> was planning to finally do away with the infamous ‘notch’. Housing the camera and FaceID tech, this black cutout was seen as a blight on the supposedly all-screen design \u2013 but was an under-display camera finally coming?<\/p>\n

Alas, it wasn’t to be. Instead, in 2022 Apple gave us the Dynamic Island \u2013 a floating notch that blends with the UI to change size and display information. But that under-screen camera might just appear on the iPhone 18. Which, after the reported failure of the iPhone Air<\/a>, could represent the redesign the iPhone actually needs.<\/p>\n

As spotted by WCCFtech<\/a>, Apple is reportedly testing a punch-hole camera on the iPhone 18 Pro. According to a well regarded Apple leaker known as Pikachu, “Apple is testing in-screen Face ID through a process involving the splicing of micro-transparent glass.”<\/p>\n
