iPhone 18 Pro's Smaller Dynamic Island Revealed
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- New images from multiple sources suggest that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro will feature a significantly smaller Dynamic Island, potentially shrinking by as much as 35% compared to the iPhone 17 Pro.
- A prototype image shows a small circular punch-hole cutout under the display, likely indicating that Face ID components are being relocated beneath the screen to enable the smaller Dynamic Island.
- Screen protector leaks corroborate the smaller cutouts, with manufacturers seemingly confident in the design as production of accessories has already begun.
- While some sources have expressed skepticism, most evidence supports the Dynamic Island reduction, which is expected to be implemented across the entire iPhone 18 lineup, though bezels will remain similar to the previous generation.
- Apple is anticipated to announce the iPhone 18 Pro models and its first foldable iPhone this fall, with the standard iPhone 18 expected to launch early next year under a new split-cycle release strategy.
