the iPad could be the first device to get Apple’s long-rumored lower display face id technology instead of iPhoneaccording to insightful visualization analyst Ross Young.
The comments, made in the latest episode of The MacRumors Showprovide information about Apple’s future plans for the iPad. Young thinks Apple’s under-display TrueDepth camera could come to the ‌iPad‌ before the ‌iPhone‌, making it easier to sneak the technology under a larger screen with fewer pixels per inch.
This under-display implementation is also said to be more feasible because the ‌iPad‌ is manufactured in lower volume than the ‌iPhone‌. He added that, in theory, this new feature could come out as early as next year, long before the technology is available. is expected to appear on the iPhone.
In addition, Young stated that obtaining sufficient volume of coverslips has been a key limiting factor in Apple’s failure to achieve foldable iphone on the market so far. The company isn’t expected to face such issues with a larger foldable ‌iPad‌ or MacBook, so a larger foldable Apple device could also hit the market before a foldable ‌iPhone‌.
It is unprecedented for Apple to introduce new technology to the ‌iPad‌ instead of the ‌iPhone‌. For example, while innovations like ‌Face ID‌ and touch id were the first to come to the ‌iPhone‌, True Tone, increased amounts of memory and storage, ProMotion refresh rates, and the LiDAR scanner first came to the ‌iPad‌.
At the beginning of this year, young said which expects the “‌iPhone‌ 18 Pro” in 2026 to be the first ‌iPhone‌ with ‌Face ID‌ under the display and camera. With news that the technology could come to the ‌iPad‌ first, customers can expect a iPadPro model to arrive with the technology at an earlier date, perhaps between 2023 and 2025.
