Even before Apple launches the iPhone 17, rumors have already started circulating about the iPhone 18. While the next iPhone lineup is expected to have some subtle design changes, it is anticipated that Apple will innovate in the following models.
Leaks shared by the site The Information reveal that the iPhone 18’s display will undergo a pretty radical redesign, including completely removing the Dynamic Island.
According to sources, Apple plans to place only a small notch on the side of the screen and remove the pill-shaped Dynamic Island that was first introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro lineup.
The tiny camera cutout would be in the top left corner, a design that has been adopted by Android phones for quite some time. The advantage is that the user would have more usable screen space by removing any “obstacles” from the display.
But what about Face ID? It’s true that the iPhone’s notch isn’t just for decoration – besides the front camera, it also houses the Face ID sensors used to unlock the phone, grant access to password-protected apps, and approve purchases.
That’s why the rumors suggest that if Apple does decide to ditch the Dynamic Island, they would place the Face ID sensors under the screen. This would give the phone a more sophisticated and minimalist design.
It’s important to note that Apple usually doesn’t reveal much about its future devices, and while the information comes from reliable sources, everything should be treated as a rumor until the company officially confirms the leaks.
