Even Mark Zuckerberg recommended putting stickers on webcams and that guy really knows how to spy on people.
A camera lens will always have glass covering it, so there should be no difference. The front camera lens isn’t as high end as the rear because it doesn’t need to be, and there are probably space constraints as well.
They haven’t struggled — you’re thinking about it in terms of someone upgrading every year — some do, but that is not the expectation.
literally thousands of enhancements and updates both hardware and software wise that they can still do... Just look at all the things Android phones can do which iPhones still don't do. For example one that I am personally waiting for is true multi-tasking where you can run 2 apps at the same time on the Max/plus size phones at least...... And even though this is a software feature.... You just know Apple will make it exclusive to the new hardware when they release it.
I really really hope that Apple leaves an always visible software Dynamic Island. 🤣
I wonder how Apple solved the existing issues with under screen cameras where image quality is worse and there is still a visual artifact showing their location. Apple fans love to complain about the slightest issue so Apple better get it right.

Meh. I just want faceID under the display. The selfie cam can stay as a hole punch and I'd be happy.
Probably none of this is happening soon enough to save me from the dynamic island but at least the 16 Pro/Max are getting larger so the dynamic island cuts off a lower percentage of the screen.

It wouldn’t make sense for the camera to be underscreen but still have cutouts for the Face ID sensors; its going to be an all or nothing situation. I suspect Dynamic Island will still exist for things like Live Events, but not be always visible.
DI can be easily replicated via software only... I'm sure its here to stay for a long time.
Hopefully when or if Apple implements this that the quality will not be a comprise. Honestly, if it’s a quality compromise, then I don’t want it. Can’t return to the crappy camera of the early 2000s.
Maybe they can call it “Climate Change Island”, because it’ll reveal or hide itself (“sink below the screen”) depending on activity (i.e., climate activity).
Lol
Dynamic Island isn't going anywhere. It just won't be visible when it's completely idle.
I do wonder if we'll get some colour on it given the whole reason it's black is to disguise the camera after all.
My guess is that the dynamic island will stay, but it will come out of nothingness and could disappear completely unlike the current one.
Exactly.
If even a fingerprint can decrease the quality of a picture, imagine how much more of a decrease that a screen can do.
Apple's Korean suppliers have begun developing smartphone under-display cameras (UDC), paving the way for the first iPhone with a true "all-screen" appearance.
How confusing ..
