The next iPhone release from Apple is expected this September and will include the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The design of these models will have been finalized by now, so the latest leak gives a clue to the display.

iPhone 18 Pro Leak: A New Look For The Display
The report suggests that the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max — plus the iPhone 18 which is expected to come later, in spring 2027 — will have similar bezels to the current models, but introduce a smaller Dynamic Island.
“The iPhone 18 series retains the same bezel design, except for a smaller central island; the overall bezel size remains the same as the iPhone 17 series,” said Ice Universe, a leaker with a decent track record, on Weibo. The original post is in Chinese, I’ve used a machine translation.
Dynamic Island is the software response to the cut-out at the top of the display. The cut-out houses the front-facing camera and the apparatus that powers Face ID.
How The iPhone 18 Display Could Change
Dynamic Island presents extra data when needed in a way that disguises the cut-out so it’s hard to spot. It delivers extra information, for example, showing apps like Apple Music running in the background with album art at the edge of the island.
To achieve a smaller Dynamic Island, Apple will almost certainly need to shrink the cut-out that sits beneath it. In fact, that’s what’s really at stake here: the data the Dynamic Island is, as the name suggests, changeable, so it can still take up bigger parts of the display when needed.
Impact On iPhone 18e And iPhone Fold
There are several unknowns when it comes to what the new leak means. For a start, even if it comes to the iPhone 18 in spring 2027, I doubt the phone expected to launch alongside it, iPhone 18e, will have it. More likely, it will replace the larger cut-out on the iPhone 17e with the current-sized Dynamic Island.
