It\u2019s been a big week for iPhone Fold rumors, but a reputable leaker just posted iPhone 18 Pro updates related to two potential design changes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Latest updates indicate iPhone 18 Pro\u2019s design is not yet finalized<\/h2>\n

\"iPhone<\/p>\n

Today in a pair of new posts, Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station offered updates on what to expect from the iPhone 18 Pro\u2019s design.<\/p>\n

The first post addresses changes to iPhone 18 Pro\u2019s Dynamic Island.<\/p>\n

Reporting from several sources has pointed to Apple moving some Face ID components under the iPhone 18 Pro\u2019s display. This will reportedly enable a Dynamic Island that\u2019s about 35% smaller than on iPhone 17 Pro.<\/p>\n

Previously though, Digital Chat Station was the lone voice of doubt about the change. He said a smaller Dynamic Island was Apple\u2019s initial plan, but the company was considering reusing molds from last year\u2019s iPhones, which would mean minimal changes to the Dynamic Island.<\/p>\n

Now today, he has a new update. Here\u2019s the translated post:<\/p>\n

Current feedback from the supply chain suggests an A\/B testing scenario: one option retains the existing screen mold, while the other features a \u201cMini Dynamic Island\u201d with the Face ID RX components positioned beneath the display.<\/p>\n

So both options are apparently still being considered by Apple, with a decision yet to come. If the smaller Dynamic Island doesn\u2019t happen, it would remove one of the most notable rumored design changes from iPhone 18 Pro.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a follow-up post, the leaker replies to a question about the rear camera.<\/p>\n

He says that the rectangular plateau design will be unchanged from last year. However, the back will feature \u201cminor adjustments to the body materials and design details.\u201d<\/p>\n

This likely refers to the previously rumored modifications that will provide a more uniform design across aluminum and glass cutout. The iPhone 17 Pro has a two-tone design rather than a seamless look. Color options this year will be different…<\/p>\n
