Ross Young, Counterpoint Research VP, casts doubt on a fully all-screen 20th-anniversary iPhone in 2026, despite expecting advancements. He predicts under-screen Face ID in some 2026 iPhones (likely iPhone 18 Pro models), but with a smaller, albeit still present, Dynamic Island. This contradicts some reports suggesting a solely front-facing camera hole. Multiple sources indicate a smaller Dynamic Island is likely for 2026, with a fully under-screen Face ID potentially arriving in 2028.
