  • Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September, with reported screen sizes unchanged at 6.3 and 6.9 inches.
  • Apple is reportedly testing under-screen Face ID components, which could shrink or eliminate the Dynamic Island.
  • Reports differ on whether the Pro models could instead use a single hole-punch front camera in the upper-left corner.

Apple’s next iPhone Pro models could bring a major change to the front of the device, even if their screen sizes remain unchanged. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to launch in September with 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, respectively, matching the current iPhone 17 Pro series.

The more significant change may involve Face ID. Market reports say Apple is testing a design that would move Face ID components beneath the display. If the technology succeeds, parts of the TrueDepth camera system could disappear under the screen, allowing the Dynamic Island to become smaller or possibly vanish altogether.

Reports remain divided. The Information said Apple may instead adopt a single hole-punch front camera in the upper-left corner of the iPhone 18 Pro, removing the Dynamic Island entirely.
