Apple’s next iPhone, the iPhone 18, could bring its biggest design update in years. A new leak reveals changes that may surprise users.
Dynamic Island Gets Smaller
The pill-shaped Dynamic Island, introduced on the iPhone 14 Pro, will shrink. According to leaker Ice Universe, the cutout will go from 20.76 mm to 13.49 mm on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. That’s about a 35% reduction.
Reactions online are mixed. Some say the change won’t affect daily use. Others think it’s still too large.
Possible Brightness Upgrade
The iPhone 18 could also be brighter than ever. Reports suggest Apple’s high brightness demands may prevent supplier BOE from making panels. This could lead to a major jump in outdoor visibility and HDR performance.
Specs Rumors
The iPhone 18 is expected to feature an A20 chip and a C2 modem. The camera system may get a full redesign with improved controls.
Launch Timeline
The next iPhone is likely to launch in early 2027. Apple may continue refining its display technology with this release.
Mixed User Reactions
While some fans are excited, others feel the changes are minor. Many users debate whether it counts as a true upgrade or just a tweak.
Looking Ahead
Apple’s design evolution continues. After the notch and Dynamic Island, future iPhones may feature punch-hole or under-display cameras.
