iPhone 18 Pro to Unveil Major Display Redesign, Leak Reveals
The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is set to feature a substantial redesign of its display, a significant shift from previous models. According to recent leaks, this new model will introduce a major alteration to the Dynamic Island, a unique screen feature first seen in the iPhone 14 Pro. The iPhone 18 Pro and its larger counterpart, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, will showcase these changes this fall.
Dynamic Island: A Noteworthy Redesign
The Dynamic Island, which occupies a lozenge-shaped area at the top of the screen, hasn’t undergone any significant modifications since its introduction in September 2022. Current information reveals that the width of the Dynamic Island cutout will shrink from 20.76 mm to 13.49 mm. This represents a reduction of approximately 35%, as reported by trusted leaker Ice Universe on X.
A Visible Improvement
This adjustment, while not transforming the Dynamic Island into a single circular lens, will create a noticeable distinction in the design. Consumers may find themselves quick to recognize the new Pro iPhone based on this alteration. Additionally, there are suggestions that Apple may conceal components like the flood illuminator—vital for Face ID functionality—beneath the display, contributing to the more compact design.
Which Models Will Feature the New Design?
It is important to note that this design change will not extend to all models within the iPhone 18 series. Leaks indicate that the standard iPhone 18, along with the iPhone Air 2, will not benefit from this display redesign. Historically, the regular iPhone has lagged in adopting new features, as evidenced by the delayed introduction of the Dynamic Island from the iPhone 14 Pro to the base model.
In contrast to standard models, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will cater to users seeking the latest in design and technology. The iPhone Air 2, which is projected to launch in 2027, is also expected to maintain its premium positioning in the Apple lineup, making a redesign less likely.
