It’s been a big week for iPhone Fold rumors, with a reputable leaker just posting an update to the iPhone 18 Pro that involves two potential design changes.
The latest update shows that the iPhone 18 Pro design has not yet been finalized
Today, Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station provided an update on what we can expect from the iPhone 18 Pro design in two new posts.
The address of the first post will be changed to Dynamic Island for iPhone 18 Pro.
Reports from multiple sources indicate that Apple is moving some Face ID components below the iPhone 18 Pro’s display. This will reportedly allow for a dynamic island that is about 35% smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro.
But previously, Digital Chat Station was the only one to question this change. He said a smaller Dynamic Island was Apple’s original plan, but the company is considering reusing the mold from last year’s iPhone, and changes to the Dynamic Island will be minimal.
Today he has a new update. Here is the translated post:
Current feedback from the supply chain suggests an A/B testing scenario. One option retains the existing screen mold, while the other features a “mini dynamic island” with a Face ID RX component placed below the display.
So it seems like both options are still being considered by Apple, but no decision is yet to come. If the smaller dynamic islands don’t materialize, one of the most notable rumored design changes will be removed from the iPhone 18 Pro.
In a follow-up post, the leaker answers questions about the rear camera.
The design of the rectangular plateau is said to be the same as last year. However, at the back, there will be “tweaks to the body materials and design details.”
This likely refers to a previously rumored modification that provides a more uniform design across the aluminum and glass cutouts. The iPhone 17 Pro has a two-tone design instead of a seamless look. This year, the color variations are also different.
Apple is unlikely to make any major changes this year as the iPhone 17 Pro offered a bold new design. Rather, these latest leaks are in line with the iterative changes expected in most iPhone updates.
How much does the iPhone 18 Pro’s design influence your upgrade decision? Let us know in the comments.
