It’s been rumored that Apple could be planning to reduce the size of the iPhone\u2019s dynamic island by around 50% for the iPhone 18 Pro, shrinking its width from 20.76mm down to 13.49mm. This would help enlarge the overall screen area of the iPhone’s display, although even at this shrunken size, the island would still considerably wider than the tiny selfie camera punch holes now sported by the vast majority of Android phones. As for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max’s other island – the camera island – that’s expected to remain the same as on the iPhone 17 Pro, stretching the full width of the rear panel.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve not yet had any compelling tips that suggest changes to the image sensors in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Instead, there have been persistent rumors that Apple could be planning to fit a variable aperture lens to the iPhone 18 Pro’s primary camera. Sounds intriguing, but I remain sceptical that this will have a significant impact on image quality. Several Android phones have previously used variable aperture lenses, but they’ve yet to really make an impact. With a camera phone, you almost always want as much light as possible to reach the sensor, meaning the aperture will always be set at its widest. Narrowing the aperture does theoretically give you more depth of field, but the small 1\/1.28″ image sensor in the iPhone 17 Pro’s primary camera already produces a large depth of field by virtue of being relatively small. There will be very few scenarios where you’d need to stop down the lens to increase depth of field still further, especially as this would also require longer shutter speeds and\/or increased ISO sensitivity, and therefore more image noise.<\/p>\n
