Apple has just been granted a patent for an embedded or under-display Face ID.

While there hasn't been official word on if and when an iPhone will have an under-display Face ID camera, there have been rumors suggesting that such a feature will be included in Apple's iPhone 16. Also, if the under-display camera or Face ID is implemented in a future iPhone, this could very well mean that Apple's recent Dynamic Island notch design may soon come to an end. An old iPhone model that Apple declared obsolete years ago is now selling for thousands of dollars, as online interest in the device has surged by 979%, according to recent data. The phone in question is the iPhone 4, which was first released in 2010 and removed from stores in 2013. Google Trends shows a sharp rise in searches for the iPhone 4, driven mainly by social media content. Some listings on eBay show the iPhone 4 priced as high as $12,000, while other auctions confirm that select units are actually selling for high amounts.
