Rumors are swirling about the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max, with the latest speculation suggesting that the device will feature a smaller Dynamic Island. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Pro Max model will sport a slimmer display cutout that incorporates metalens Face ID components, reducing its overall size.
Metalenses are cutting-edge optical lenses that use nanostructures to manipulate light at a microscopic level. With the ability to control incoming light's phase, amplitude, and polarization, metalenses can lead to slimmer camera modules and improved performance in smartphone cameras.

This new metalens Face ID technology is also rumored to be making its way to future iPad Pro models and a speculated foldable iPad device set to launch next year. However, this information is still speculative and should be taken with caution.
