iPhone 18 Pro Series Rumored to Keep Old Dynamic Island Design

Apple’s next iPhone lineup may not change the Dynamic Island as much as fans expected. For months, rumors suggested the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max would feature a smaller Dynamic Island thanks to an under-display Face ID sensor. Many assumed this was a done deal, but a new report indicates otherwise.

According to the source on Weibo, the iPhone 18 Pro series will keep the same Dynamic Island design as the iPhone 17 Pro models. The shift to an under-display Face ID sensor is now expected to arrive in the following generation. The source did not explain Apple’s reasoning, but industry observers suggest cost considerations could be a factor.

Using a new under-display sensor might increase production costs, which could push prices higher. Apple may want to maintain last year’s pricing or keep any increase minimal, especially as global RAM prices rise. Avoiding more expensive components helps protect profit margins while keeping the devices familiar to users.

The source also confirmed that the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will retain the same screen sizes and shapes as their predecessors. The main upgrades will focus on performance and camera improvements. The phones are expected to use the A20 Pro chip, built on a 2nm process, feature a variable aperture camera, and offer larger batteries. The Pro Max could see battery capacity rise above 5,000 mAh.

Whether these improvements will drive strong sales remains uncertain. Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in September, alongside either the iPhone Fold or the rumored iPhone Ultra.
