Apple’s long-term iPhone redesign roadmap leaks with under-display Face ID planned for 2026
Apple has retained a familiar design language for the iPhone Pro models over several generations, with a square camera housing on the rear. However, the tech giant is expected to bring a major design overhaul for the next-gen iPhone models.
A new leak shared by renowned tipster Digital Chat Station reveals expected design changes for the next three iPhone generations. It’s unclear whether this applies to the standard model or just the Pro models.
This year, Apple will be launching the iPhone 17 series. The leaker suggests that this year’s model will have significant changes to the rear design. Instead of a square camera module, the phone is expected to feature a large rectangular camera housing.
The 2026 iPhone, which we expect to be called the iPhone 18, is said to bring major changes to the front. The leaker claims that Apple will adopt a punch-hole selfie camera cutout, and the Face ID will be under the screen. The 2027 iPhone 19 is said to make it even more advanced, with both the selfie camera and Face ID placed under the screen, resulting in a notch-less iPhone.
It's worth noting that the above information is unconfirmed and based on a leak, so it should be taken with a grain of salt.
