Revealed the timing of the release of frameless iPhone

Apple will release a completely frameless smartphone no earlier than 2024. This is reported by the Korean edition of The Elec.

Media journalists have found that Apple suppliers are having trouble creating a completely bezel-less front panel, in which the Face ID biometric sensor will be hidden under the screen. Experts believe that the American company will be able to introduce the first full-screen phones in 2024. They will be the premium models of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, the basic iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will remain with the monobrow.

At the same time, even in devices of 2024, the selfie camera will be visible on the screen. iPhone display manufacturers believe that the front camera can be hidden under the front panel no earlier than 2026. Presumably, at the same time, Apple will release a series of iPhone 18 smartphones. Insiders have noticed that the disclosed release dates for new devices may shift.

The authors of the note noted that at the moment the Dynamic Island screen cutout is present on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, while the more affordable iPhone 14 and 14 Plus have a classic “monobrow”. All iPhone 15 series phones are expected to get Dynamic Island.

Previously known insider ShrimpApplePro said that Apple will limit the charging speed of the iPhone in the case of third-party USB-C cables. Thus, the company will be able to earn on the sale of accessories even after abandoning the proprietary Lightning connector.
