Apple is reportedly planning to upgrade its metalens technology for all four iPhone 17 models, including the Pro Max version. This change promises to significantly reduce the size of the Dynamic Island.
Metalens are flat lenses that use metasurfaces to focus light toward the image sensor. The technology is a significant improvement over curved lenses commonly used in smartphones.
According to analyst Jeff Pu, Apple will integrate metalens into Face ID on all iPhone 17 models, reducing the overall size and thickness of the system. This upgrade could lead to a smaller Dynamic Island, although its exact dimensions remain unknown.
Apple’s plans for the Dynamic Island are still speculative at this point, with some analysts predicting it will remain largely unchanged in size. The company is expected to officially announce its iPhone 17 lineup in September.
