Apple\u2019s iPhone 18 lineup is still months away from its expected September launch, but leaks around the design of the upcoming Pro models continue to surface. Earlier reports hinted at a major front-panel redesign, including under-display Face ID and a left-aligned Dynamic Island. However, a new leak now challenges those claims.<\/p>\n

According to fresh information, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to retain a centre-aligned selfie camera<\/strong>, housed within a smaller Dynamic Island<\/strong>, rather than shifting the cutout to the left side of the display. The standard iPhone 18 Pro is tipped to feature a 6.27-inch display<\/strong>, while the Pro Max variant could arrive with a larger 6.86-inch panel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dynamic Island Design May Evolve, Not Disappear<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Weibo tipster Momentary Digital<\/em> (translated from Chinese) claims that earlier reports suggesting a left-shifted Dynamic Island were the result of mistranslation. Instead, the leak states that only some Face ID components may move toward the left<\/strong>, while the selfie camera remains centred within a reduced Dynamic Island cutout.<\/p>\n

This contradicts previous speculation that Apple might eliminate the Dynamic Island altogether in favour of a single punch-hole camera design on the iPhone 18 Pro series.<\/p>\n

Display industry analyst Ross Young<\/strong> has also weighed in, noting on X that not all Face ID elements are expected to move under the display<\/strong> just yet. As a result, Apple is likely to stick with a smaller notch-style solution rather than a fully under-display system. Young adds that this design approach could remain unchanged through 2026 and 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Display and Hardware Expectations<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Leaks suggest the iPhone 18 Pro lineup will feature LTPO OLED displays with a 120Hz refresh rate<\/strong>. While Apple is expected to continue refining the Dynamic Island in future models, a complete removal may still be a few generations away.<\/p>\n

On the hardware front, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are rumoured to ship with 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM<\/strong>, an 18-megapixel front camera with a 6P lens<\/strong>, and Apple\u2019s C2 modem<\/strong>. The rear camera setup could include three 48-megapixel sensors<\/strong>, covering wide, periscope telephoto, and ultra-wide photography.<\/p>\n

Apple first introduced the Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14 Pro series in September 2022<\/strong>, replacing the traditional notch and enabling live activities, alerts, and system interactions. With the iPhone 18 Pro series, Apple appears set to refine this design rather than abandon it entirely.<\/p>\n

Apple is expected to officially unveil the iPhone 18 Pro series in September<\/strong>, continuing its annual launch cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
