The iPhone 17 is expected to be released in the coming months, and more and more information is emerging about upcoming changes to the smartphone series. One of the most interesting innovations will be the improved Face ID system, which could change the appearance of the devices. According to sources, Apple plans to introduce metalins technology to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. This will allow the integration of Face ID components (receiver and transmitter) into a more compact structure, which will reduce the size of the Dynamic Island and increase the screen area.
What is known about the new product
Metalins will be a step towards a completely under-screen facial recognition system. Apple will gradually reduce the size of the Dynamic Island, approaching a display without cutouts. Metalins technology can be used not only in smartphones, but also in the iPad Pro and the folding iPad, which indicates Apple's strategic approach to the unification of technologies. However, the innovation will likely only apply to the iPhone 17 Pro Max model, as other models will retain the current Dynamic Island design.
Metal lenses will not only reduce the size of Face ID components, but also maintain or even improve recognition quality, which is important for device security. Thus, the changes in the iPhone 17, in particular in the Pro Max, emphasize Apple's commitment to continuous improvement, combining innovation, functionality and aesthetics.
