According to information posted on MacRumors, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will continue to maintain screen sizes of 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively - similar to the iPhone 17 Pro line. However, the most notable upgrade point lies in the front design, when the Face ID facial recognition sensor system is likely to be brought down to the screen.
Information revealed by the Digital Chat Station account on the social network Weibo shows that "hiding" Face ID under the screen will help Apple reduce the hole, thereby expanding display space. The front camera is said to move to the left side of the screen, but it is still unclear whether Dynamic Island will continue to be maintained on the iPhone 18 Pro duo or not.
The source also said that Face ID technology under the screen will only appear on iPhone Pro models. Two versions of the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are forecast to still retain the old design. This is considered a way for Apple to continue to clearly classify between product lines.
Regarding the rear camera, according to information published by ETNews, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max may be the first iPhone models to be equipped with camera clusters capable of changing the aperture. This feature allows adjusting the amount of light entering the sensor depending on the shooting environment, helping low-light photos to be sharper and limiting light burning when shooting outdoors. Flexible aperture control is also expected to improve the depth of field and improve portrait shooting quality.
In the opposite direction, Apple is facing significant pressure from the supply chain. Many sources say that the shortage of high-performance memory components globally is causing difficulties for the production process of the iPhone 18 Pro line.
According to IBTimes, in the context of increasing component costs and increasing memory demand, the possibility of Apple having to adjust the selling price of iPhone 18 is very high. Analysts predict the increase could range from 50 to 100 USD, depending on the results of negotiations between Apple and supplier partners.
