Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple is reportedly planning to introduce under-display Face ID in the iPhone 18 lineup using new “micro-transparent glass panels,” which would allow the Dynamic Island to shrink noticeably. Early models next year—the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the foldable—are expected to get this first, while the base iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 will arrive months later, giving Apple time to decide whether the technology can expand to the full lineup.
