Apple is continuously working on developing and testing new prototypes for their iPhone models before they are ready for mass production. The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are currently undergoing testing, and there are reports suggesting a major redesign to the front of the device. In particular, it is speculated that the front-facing camera sensor might be accommodated via a cutout in the display, deviating from the pill-shaped cutout design seen in recent models.
According to sources, news about the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max comes from a tipster known as “Majin Bu” (@MajinBuOfficial). Interestingly, some of Apple’s competitors, such as Samsung and LG, have already adopted similar design solutions for their smartphones, aiming to maximize the screen real estate in that area.
It is common practice for businesses to extensively test various prototypes of their products before moving forward with mass production. This allows them to identify any flaws or areas that can be improved upon from previous generational models. However, it is important for Apple to carefully consider several crucial factors before implementing such a significant change.

One of the key considerations is Face ID, a popular feature that utilizes a combination of sensors in the front camera to quickly and accurately recognize the user’s face. With the possible adoption of a cutout design for the front-facing camera, these components would need to be relocated. This would require careful integration to maintain the effectiveness and reliability of Face ID.
It is worth mentioning that previous rumors have already suggested the possibility of Apple incorporating Face ID under the display in their next generation of iPhones. However, several companies have attempted to implement selfie cameras in this manner, and it has often resulted in compromised quality. The same challenge exists for face recognition sensors as well.

Considering that the pill-shaped cutout for Dynamic Island was only introduced in the iPhone 14th generation, it is unlikely that this change will be implemented in the immediate future. Therefore, according to the source, it is expected that this new design will not be seen in action until the iPhone 17’s generation.
In conclusion, Apple is currently testing prototypes of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, exploring the possibility of a major redesign for the front of the device. The front-facing camera sensor may be accommodated via a cutout in the display, similar to the design used by some of Apple’s competitors. However, there are important considerations, such as the integration of Face ID and the need for high-quality camera performance, that Apple must carefully evaluate before implementing such changes. As a result, it is anticipated that this new design might not be introduced until a future generation of iPhones, most likely the iPhone 17.
