The next Pro iPhone will see a significant change to the design of the screen, according to a new report. In recent years, the display has changed in size, but not in one vital element: the Dynamic Island. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the lozenge-shaped area near the top of the display that first appeared on the iPhone 14 Pro which debuted in September 2022. It replaced the larger cut-out found on all Face ID iPhones from the iPhone X onwards. It\u2019s now found only on the iPhone 16e in Apple\u2019s current range. <\/p>\n

Dynamic Island Set For Its First Major Redesign<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t changed since it appeared, but a new report claims it will be different this fall on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Earlier this month, there had been rumors<\/a> of the camera in the screen shifting to the left, but this was later claimed to be a mistranslation of reports. So, what is happening?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dynamic Island cutout width on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max has been reduced from 20.76 mm to 13.49 mm, representing a reduction of approximately 35%,\u201d reported Ice Universe, a prolific leaker with a strong track record, on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Smaller Cutout, But A Big Visual Difference<\/p>\n

While that\u2019s obviously not the same as a single, circular lens peeping out, it\u2019s a big enough change to be instantly noticeable. Cue comments of, \u201cOooh, you\u2019ve got the new Pro iPhone,\u201d perhaps. <\/p>\n

It may be that the flood illuminator, a component that makes Face ID work, will be hidden under the display rather than visible through it, and that could account for the smaller size.<\/p>\n

Which iPhones Will Miss Out On The Change?<\/p>\n

A previous leak had commented that whatever change is coming to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max would not come to the iPhone 18 or iPhone Air 2. I believe this about the iPhone 18 \u2014 the regular iPhone didn\u2019t see the first Dynamic Island until a year after it had arrived on the iPhone 14 Pro \u2014I\u2019m not sure I think that it will miss the iPhone Air 2 as well. First, because that phone, according to some reports, won\u2019t launch until 2027 and secondly because it\u2019s marketed as a premium iPhone. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be updating this story as more details leak. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The next Pro iPhone will see a significant change to the design of the screen, according to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[87515,146831,143206,80580,146833,119561,146830,146829,146832,2306,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-389247","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple-iphone-18","9":"tag-apple-iphone-rumors","10":"tag-dynamic-island","11":"tag-iphone-18-leak","12":"tag-iphone-18-pro-dynamic-island-change","13":"tag-iphone-18-pro-max","14":"tag-iphone-design-leak","15":"tag-iphone-display-design","16":"tag-iphone-face-id-under-display-face-id","17":"tag-mobile","18":"tag-technology","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom","21":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
