As per a new report, Apple could be making the first truly notch-less iPhone in 2024, which would be the iPhone 16, or at least one variant of it. Read more below.
Apple has stuck to its signature notch in phones for every non-SE iPhone since the iPhone X. While some iPhone users don’t mind the intrusion on top of their screens, others have been waiting for Apple to move beyond the notch to a true-fullscreen display. Now, noted Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo suggests that could happen in 2024.
Further, he has indicated that the future iPhone 16 could go with an under-display camera and Face ID approach to achieve the notch-less design. “I think the real full-screen iPhone will come in 2024. High-end iPhones in 2024 would adopt an under-display front camera alongside the under-display Face ID,” Kuo stated on his Twitter account.
“A low-light condition is detrimental to front camera quality, and ISP & algorithm are critical for quality improvements,” he added.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had stated earlier this month that the first notch-less iPhone could hit the shelves in 2024. As per a report by XDA Developers, Kuo stated in a more recent tweet replying to DSCC’s Ross Young that “under-display Face ID” was coming to the iPhone 16 and that “this time schedule is less of a technical issue and more of a marketing purpose.”
Kuo’s most recent tweet on the matter further confirms the details he had shared earlier. It should also be noted that he has mentioned ‘high-end iPhones in 2024’. This suggests that only the Pro series could get the above mentioned changes, while the non-Pro variants may still feature some kind of a notch.
The iPhone 16 is still two years away, and for now this there’s no guarantee that Apple will indeed introduce a full screen device. There are a number of factors, which could cause an eventual change in plans.
