The iPhone 18 Pro's design has been a hot topic, but the latest leak reveals a twist! Will Apple keep its iconic Dynamic Island?
A recent leak by Weibo user Instant Digital claims that the iPhone 18 Pro will retain its centered Dynamic Island, but with a twist. This news contradicts previous rumors about a left-aligned camera hole, which were apparently due to translation errors. The real change is more subtle: Apple is relocating a small Face ID sensor, the infrared flood illuminator, to the left side under the display.
But here's the interesting part: the main selfie camera, dot projector, and infrared camera will remain in a smaller, pill-shaped Dynamic Island at the center. This design choice is a middle ground between the current iPhone layout and the fully under-display Face ID concept that has been rumored.
And this is where it gets technical: the leak includes an image of the Face ID module, showing that only the flood illuminator can be hidden under the screen without impacting performance. The other sensors require direct exposure, hence their placement in the Dynamic Island.
This clarification puts an end to the debate about Dynamic Island's fate. iPhone 18 Pro users can anticipate a familiar yet refined look, with less black space around the display.
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max in September, with advanced features like variable aperture cameras, a powerful new chip, and an in-house modem.
So, are you team Dynamic Island or under-display Face ID? Let us know in the comments! The debate continues as we eagerly await Apple's official reveal.
