Apple iPhone 18 Pro may come with this display change

An alleged image of the upcoming Apple iPhone 18 Pro has leaked online, hinting at a smaller dynamic display island. Shared by X user called @earlyappleleaks, the alleged image shows a prototype ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ with a noticeably smaller ‌Dynamic Island‌. The image shows another iPhone’s flashlight placed over the corner of the display, revealing a small circular punch-hole beneath the screen, which is believed to house a relocated Face ID sensor. The leak adds weight to previous reports about the Cupertino-based company decreasing the size of Dynamic Island on iPhone 18 Pro.

According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is experimenting with a deep red colour option for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. This move of the company is followed by Cosmic Orange variant on the iPhone 17 Pro. For those unaware, the Cosmic Orange colour of iPhone 17 Pro Max gained a lot of popularity in China, where the customers linked it to Hermès’ signature orange. Gurman notes that red is currently the flagship colour in testing, though Apple may keep orange in the lineup as well.

“Apple is now considering a deep red color for its next lineup.

Given the success of orange, I wouldn’t be surprised if the company keeps that option around and just adds the red as an additional choice. But red and orange might be a little too close on the color wheel to have both,” the Bloomberg report said.

Apple generally announces new iPhone models at its Fall event in September. This is rumoured to change in 2026. According to reports, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in the typical September timeframe. However, the standard iPhone 18 may be skipped at the September event this year. As per reports, it may be unveiled next year in March along with iPhone Air 2.

Apple’s new A20 Pro chip, which will be the company’s first processor manufactured using a 2nm process, is expected to power the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Additionally, the chip will employ “Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module” (WMCM) packaging, making it more compact, powerful, and energy-efficient than earlier iterations.

Moreover, Apple may switch from third-party chips to its own modem for the first time in the Pro models. This modification should greatly extend battery life, especially when paired with the A20 Pro’s powerful processor.
