No Major Design Changes Coming to iPhone 18 Models, Leaker Claims<\/a><\/p>\n

The iPhone 18 lineup will not feature signifiant design changes, according to the leaker known as “Fixed Focus Digital.”<\/p>\n

The Weibo user claims that since the iPhone 17 lineup proved to be successful with high sales, the \u200ciPhone 18\u200c models likely won’t have major changes to their appearance. Rather than promoting design changes, Apple is apparently likely to heavily emphasize advancements made with the A20 and A20 Pro chip, which will likely be the first 2nm Apple silicon chips. This upgrade is anticipated to be a key point of discussion around the new devices later this year. <\/p>\n

The iPhone 17 Pro models saw a major redesign, following two years of the same design across the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro. The \u200ciPhone\u200c 12 Pro, 13 Pro, and 14 Pro also largely shared the same design, as did the \u200ciPhone\u200c X, \u200ciPhone\u200c XS, and \u200ciPhone\u200c 11 Pro. Successive generation-over-generation flagship \u200ciPhone\u200c redesigns would be unprecedented, making it highly likely that the \u200ciPhone 18\u200c Pro will look very similar to the device currently on sale. <\/p>\n

The \u200ciPhone 18\u200c Pro and \u200ciPhone 18\u200c Pro Max are expected to launch later this year, featuring a smaller Dynamic Island, the C2 modem, a simplified Camera Control, a 24-megapixel front-facing camera, and an upgraded main camera with a variable aperture. The \u200ciPhone 18\u200c is expected to follow in early 2027, touting many of the same upgrades.<\/p>\n
