New claims have emerged regarding future generations of the iPhone. It is reported that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models, which the company will introduce in 2025, will feature a transparent back panel, allowing the device's internal components to be visible. Additionally, the Face ID system is expected to be placed under the screen, with only a small camera cutout remaining on the front.
Referring to the information disseminated regarding device design, the editorial office reports that Apple is considering these solutions as the first phase of a "radical visual simplification" approach. It is reported that the company has already patented an iPhone concept consisting entirely of glass, with a touch-sensitive surface across the entire body. This model is planned to be released in 2027.
Experts note that the new constructions raise questions regarding both manufacturing difficulty and the device's impact resistance. Nevertheless, it is emphasized that Apple's long-term strategy is to gradually minimize physical buttons and visible sensor elements.
