Analyst: Apple delays under-display Face ID until 2026

Analyst Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants says that Apple will likely introduce a Face ID sensor that can be placed behind a screen in 2026. Previous leaks from DSCC showed that this sensor should have been available in 2025.

Ross Young shared his findings with an X user. The analyst provided no sources, no causes for the delay and no further details about the future introduction of the sensor.

Young shared a roadmap in May 2023 showing that Apple wanted a Face ID sensor from 2025 that can be placed behind a screen. This sensor would be the first to be placed in iPhone 17 Pro models. The roadmap also stated that Apple wants to equip all iPhones with a variable refresh rate screen by 2025. It is not clear whether those plans are still going ahead or have been postponed.

Ross Young is considered a reliable analyst in the field of screen developments. Its track record on unannounced smartphones is virtually spotless.
