Apple may release a new iPhone model with under-display camera technology after 2026, maybe replacing the present Dynamic Island, raising discussion in the tech community about the future of iPhones.

The Dynamic Island, a pill-shaped region at the top of the iPhone display that holds the Face ID camera, is now standard on all iPhone 15 models. It's a flexible place for displaying material and adding functionality to Apple's latest iPhone series. The reports about a potential under-display camera variant adds to the excitement surrounding iPhone technological progress.

• LG Innotek is working on an under-panel camera (UPC) technology to solve the issue of low light transmission in under-display cameras as compared to typical selfie cameras. The technology is designed to increase image quality by letting more light to flow through the display area, lowering the quantity of information reaching the camera lens and sensor.

• LG Innotek's revolutionary solution uses 'freeform optic' lens technology to increase under-display camera performance by solving challenges with limited light transmission and improving overall performance.

• Since 2021, LG Innotek has been strongly investing in freeform optic technology, submitting patents on the optical system, camera module, and mobile terminal, indicating its dedication to advancing and protecting its ground-breaking innovations. According to the source, iPhone models featuring under-display camera technology may not be released until after 2026, potentially owing to Apple's thorough assessment of improvements such as LG Innotek's freeform optic lens technology for best performance and picture quality.
