The Elec: First iPhone with UD camera to launch after 2026

by California Digital News


Apple has relied on its Dynamic Island pill-shaped cutout for the past two iterations of its iPhone Pro models but the long-term goal is transitioning to an “all-screen” iPhone with no physical display cutouts. That day is not relatively close according to the latest report from Korean news outlet TheElec which suggests that the first iPhone with an Under Display Camera (UDC) is expected to launch after 2026.

LG Innotek is now in “advanced development “of its UD cameras which feature the company’s proprietary freeform optic lens system. This new development will ensure optimal light passthrough for better image quality which is one of the current bottlenecks in UD cameras. Apple reportedly received UDC samples from its suppliers but deemed them unsatisfactory.
