The launch of the iPhone 17 series is approaching, but the 2026 iPhone 18 series is stealing the spotlight as rumors have already started to emerge online. While we’re still more than a year away from launch, Apple is reportedly planning major upgrades to design, performance, and more. However, the latest leak suggests that the iPhone 18 Pro model may ditch one of the most popular iPhone features.
Apple introduced Dynamic Island technology with the iPhone 14 Pro models, giving the device a new, attractive look. However, with the iPhone 18 series, Apple may not include Dynamic Island due to the new Face ID technology. Here’s what we know so far about the iPhone 18 Pro models.
The iPhone 18 Pro may have Face ID at the bottom of the screen
According to a report by The Information, Apple is planning to introduce a new under-display Face ID for iPhone 18 Pro models. This will likely change the smartphone’s screen design, and may not include the popular Dynamic Island. The report indicates that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models will have a front camera in the upper left corner of the screen instead of the center. This could be a major design shift for users, especially for those who rely heavily on Dynamic Island for shortcuts, live activities, or simply for its fun aesthetics.
