Instead, we discovered the promotional image below, which, of course, isn\u2019t real either. All of this shows how a narrative based on supposed leaks can spread quickly without any realistic base. But could an iPhone 18 in the iPhone 17 Pro design even be realistic? That\u2019s a perfectly valid question\u2014after all, Apple has, on several occasions in the past, passed Pro features down to the base iPhone model a year later, for instance the Dynamic Island or the Action Button.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">So it\u2019s not entirely unrealistic to assume that the camera design of the current Pro models will also be adopted in 2026, especially since the iPhone 17 camera design currently doesn\u2019t exactly fit in well with iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max. Whether Apple will simply remove the telefoto to make the next iPhone 18 as the current leaks suggest remains to be seen. A large Pro camera bar for two cameras would be a huge waste of space. So it\u2019s possible that Apple will instead adopt the iPhone Air design for the iPhone 18, which is also expected to offer room for two cameras on the iPhone Air 2 and will also be used for the iPhone Ultra.<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/iPhone-18-adopts-iPhone-17-Pro-design-How-Fake-leaks-generate-clicks.1326701.0.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iPhone 18 adopts iPhone 17 Pro design: How fake leaks generate clicks https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/iPhone-18-adopts-iPhone-17-Pro-design-How-Fake-leaks-generate-clicks.1326701.0.html Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":278615,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/Notebooks\/News\/_nc5\/iPhone-18-im-iPhone-17-Pro-Design-Wie-Fake-Leaks-fuer-Klicks-sorgen.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[80,81],"class_list":["post-278614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-17","tag-iphone-18"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278614"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278614"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278614\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":278616,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278614\/revisions\/278616"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
