Upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Addresses Significant Screen Issue, Drawing Parallels with Popular Android Devices
pared-down, user-friendly take on iPhone 18 Pro's rumored upgrades
Get ready for the iPhone 18 PRO, folks! The iPad 17 is on the horizon, but whispers about the Apple future have us buzzing, and here's what's happening with the iPhone 18 series. First up, there are some big changes a-coming to the iPhone 18 Pro display—this is what a recent leak's all about.
Digital Chat Station spilled a few deets about the iPhone 18 Pro and the Pro Max on Weibo. Get this—both phones will hang onto the same screen sizes as the iPhone 16 Pro series: 6.27-inch for the Pro, and 6.86-inch for the Pro Max. So, don't hold your breath for any major resizing on these bad boys.
Now, here's where things get interesting: They'll also lend a hand to Face ID under the screen, and boast an HIAA "single-hole screen design" (yup, think hole-punch camera). In other words, this might be the first iPhone EVER with a regular hole-punch cam. Thanks to Face ID components finally hiding under the display!
The iPhone's marching forward
The selfie cam itself probably won't disappear until 2024's 20th anniversary iPhone. A whisper trail suggests this special device will flaunt a screen bursting with no disruptions from a cam, cutouts, notches, or their ilk. Here's hoping the under-display cam performs better than we've seen on other phones!
Also unclear? Whether Apple'll keep the Dynamic Island pill-shaped notch in their pocket, since it was meant to hide those persistent camera sensors on the iPhone display. But, considering the Pill's alleged expansion for Live Activities, they might just revamp it instead of sayonara.
There's still much we don't know about the iPhone 18 series, 'cept its display deets. However, word on the street is Apple might separate the release of Pro and non-Pro models, with standard iPhone 18 and 18 Air appearing a whopping six months later than the Pro models.
