In a new post on Weibo<\/a>, the leaker said the smaller Dynamic Island will be adopted across the full iPhone 18 series, while the bezels on the next-generation devices will remain identical to those on the iPhone 17 series.<\/p>\n

Going forward, Apple is planning a split-cycle launch strategy for the iPhone. Pro models will be announced in the coming fall season \u2013 likely alongside the company’s first foldable iPhone<\/a> \u2013 while the regular iPhone 18 will arrive early next year. <\/p>\n

One leaker has cast doubt<\/a> on reports that the iPhone 18 Pro models will have a narrower Dynamic Island, but most reports<\/a> do support the claim<\/a>. <\/p>\n
