- The iPhone 18 could have an under-game identity document
- With the iPhone 19, Apple could also move the selfie camera under the screen
- The company also apparently tests a 200 Mp camera
Apple generally does not change the design of its phones each year, but the next three years could be different, because a leak has shared a roadmap pointing towards significant visual changes with each generation to come.
The digital cat station (via Notebookcheck) shared a claimed roadmap detailing how Apple could change the design of each iPhone from the iPhone 19 to the iPhone 19. First, with this year’s models, we will see the long -term horizontal rectangular camera block. No surprise there.
But in 2026 with the iPhone 18, Apple will apparently mask the face ID under the screen, so there is just a punch camera cut, then with the iPhone 19 in 2027, the camera will also be apparently hidden under the screen, allowing a all -screen design without cutting.
Many sources have suggested that it is something on which Apple works, and some agree with this calendar – in fact as far as 2023, we have heard that the iPhone 19 could get a camera under -game. However, it’s far away, so we take this with a pinch of salt.

What we could also see in the coming years is an iPhone with a 200 MP camera – which would be a match in terms of megapixels for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and much more than the 48 megapixels found in current iPhones.
According to the same source (this time via @jukanlosreve), Apple tests a 200 Mp sensor, but if it is only tested, there is no guarantee that it will ever be used. We do not expect to see it on the iPhone 17 series either, because it is the first that we hear about it, and we think that such a big change of specifications would generally have been disclosed well before.
The digital cat station does not say what model could get this, but we assume that we will not see it before the iPhone 18 at the earliest. And with all these leaks, it is quite possible that only the pro and pro max models will really see these changes, at least initially, although the source does not specify.
