Apple’s range of iPhone 17 smartphones is expected to come up later this year, and the company is expected to re -design the rear camera module on its upcoming handset. These design changes have also been seen in the alleged dummy model which have previously appeared online. Now, a tipster claims that the successors of the iPhone 17 lineup will also come up with various changes in their designs. Previous reports have suggested that Apple is working with an under-display camera on a full-screen iPhone, and a tipster has leaked Apple’s timeline for such a device.
Apple’s iPhone Redesign Plan for upcoming iPhone Model (Expected)
Upcoming iPhone 17 models will come With a remarkable change For the rear camera module, according to a post by the digital chat station (translated from Chinese), on Weibo which cites sources in the Apple’s supply chain. The triple rear camera module is placed in a wide horizontal camera section – previous reports that also estimate that the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max models will arrive with a redesign rear panel.
While the iPhone 17 Pro model is expected to come in the second half of 2025, according to Apple Tipster, the future iPhone is also working on major changes in front of the model. The first notable change is expected to appear on the iPhone 18 model in 2026. These handset will be equipped with a hole punches cutout for selfie camera, while other sensors required for face ID are placed under the display.
According to the digital chat station, the face ID sensor under the display in 2026 is expected to be part of the Apple’s plans to launch an all-screen iPhone under the display. The company plans to launch an iPhone without a display notch in 2027, with the handset equipped with under display selfie camera and face ID sensor.
If these claims are correct, the iPhone 19 model may be the company’s first all-screen smartphone. It is worth noting that companies like Nubia have already launched a handset with under-display selfie cameras, but there is a considerable performance difference between regular selfie cameras and their under-display counterparts.
It is worth taking these claims that Apple will offer remarkable design changes to the upcoming iPhone model with a grain of salt over the next three years. The company is known to introduce gradual design changes, and it is not currently clear that under-display camera technologies will be enough to replace the company’s current selfie camera within the next few years.
