Apple is testing an iPhone 19 Pro with a quad-curved OLED display that hides Face ID beneath the screen while retaining a visible punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera, according to leakers tracking the company's design roadmap.

This prototype is Apple’s most recent effort towards making its dream come true before its iPhone turns 20 years old in 2027, but there lies a problem with integrating the front camera while maintaining its image quality.

The quad-curved design is expected to have a curve on all four sides of the screen, giving it a virtually borderless appearance that was once synonymous with flagship phones running Android operating systems. 

Apple decided against introducing the curves to favour a flat-screen design but has since reversed its decision for an uninterrupted display experience.

Apple’s Face ID technology has almost been completely integrated into the under-display area, but the selfie camera is still an issue for few users. Apple has dedicated a lot of time and resources to integrating the Face ID sensor into the device without compromising image quality.

Reportedly, Apple will use a similar approach to its iPhone design strategy back in 2017, where the iPhone 8 and iPhone X were simultaneously launched to celebrate its tenth-year anniversary. Under the new plan, Apple will introduce a punch-hole camera on the iPhone 19 Pro and eliminate all cutouts in the 2027 iPhone.
