Apple iPhone 16 Pro models could come with an under-display Face ID

According to a report published in The Elec (via MacRumors), Apple may bring an under-display Face ID to the upcoming Apple iPhone 16 Pro. The technology will sit under the screen and will blend in with the whole display. It will only reveal the cutout designed for the front-facing camera once it's turned on. 

There were plenty of rumours about this technology being used in the Apple iPhone 14 Pro as well as the Apple iPhone 15, but these didn’t pan out. This is mainly because the technology has not been worked out completely yet. 

Samsung under-display cameras

Samsung is also rumoured to be experimenting with this technology. It had been added to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, however, when the display is turned on, the camera is still noticeable and it ends up shooting poor-quality images. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 did improve this a little bit, but not much. 

How will Apple’s under-display Face ID work?

Apple’s Face ID uses TrueDepth infrared camera in order to analyse and map the features of one’s face, and because of this, creating the technology has been challenging. At this point, the IR is believed to be glitchy and it would not be possible to analyse one’s face correctly.

Rumours indicate that the Apple iPhone 16 Pro models will have the new technology, however, there are still chances that it may take some time for the technology to be developed correctly. As a result, we may see this in the Apple iPhone 17 or later models.

The Apple iPhone 14 is available for just 46,990 on Flipkart

The iPhone 14 was launched in September last year along with the iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The real issue with the iPhone 14 is its resemblance to its predecessor, the iPhone 13. 

The Apple iPhone 13 is available on Apple’s website at a price of ₹69,990 but on the other hand, on Flipkart, interested buyers can purchase the iPhone 14 for just ₹46,990. Here’s how. 

Flipkart reduced the price of the iPhone 14 from ₹79,990 to ₹73,990, essentially a discount of ₹6000. Flipkart is offering a ₹4000 instant discount on HDFC credit cards and along with that, it is offering a huge exchange offer of ₹23,000. After doing the maths on all these offers, the iPhone 14 is available at ₹46,990 only on Flipkart.

iPhone 14 specifications

iPhone 14 comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display and features a dual camera setup with a 12-megapixel main camera along with a 12-megapixel 120-degree ultrawide lens. It is powered by an A15 Bionic chipset and runs on iOS 16 but can be upgraded to iOS 16.2. The iPhone 14 has a 3,279mAh battery which can be charged to 50% in 30 mins, Apple claims.

The design of the iPhone 14 is very similar to the iPhone 13. The display and the notch are exactly the same as the iPhone 13 and even cases of the iPhone 13 can be used for the iPhone 14. But iPhone 14 is a little lighter in weight and has a very minor difference in thickness as compared to iPhone 13.

BIS issues new quality standards for USB Type-C, VSS, and digital television reception

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has set new quality standards for digital television reception, video surveillance systems (VSS), and USB Type-C chargers, according to the government. 

Digital television reception standards

The Consumer Affairs Ministery said the first on the list is the Indian standard IS 18112:2022 specification for digital television receivers with built-in satellite tuners. 

"TVs manufactured as per this Indian standard would enable reception of free-to-air TV and radio channels just by connecting a dish antenna with LNB mounted on a suitable place, at roof top/side wall of a building," it said.

Adherence to these new standards will facilitate the transmission of more information about government initiatives, educational content (from Doordarshan), schemes, and a repository of Indian culture programs so that the same can reach a larger part of the population and benefit them. 

At this moment, TV viewers have to buy a set-top box in order to view different free and paid channels. The set-top box is also needed to facilitate the reception of free-to-air channels that are transmitted by Doordarshan. This applies to non-encrypted channels too. Now, Doordarshan is trying to phase out analog transmission. The free-to-air channels will be broadcasted by using digital satellite transmission by Doordarshan itself. 

"To enable the reception of these free-to-air channels without use of set top box, there is a need for television receivers with in-built suitable satellite tuner," the ministry added.

USB Type C standards

The second standard that has been published is Indian Standard (IS/IEC 62680-1-3:2022). This applies to USB Type-C receptacles, plugs, and cables, and adopts the existing global standard IEC 62680-1- 3:2022.

This will result in reducing the total number of chargers per consumers, and people will not have to buy different chargers for different devices. This will also help with reducing e-waste and ensure sustainable development. 

VSS Standards

The third standard that has been published is IS 16910 series of Indian standards for "Video Surveillance Systems (VSS)". This adopts the International Standard IEC 62676 series.

This standard offers guidelines for components of a VSS system, including interfaces, camera devices, system requirements, and tests that check the quality of the camera.
