Apple’s next-generation iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max models will feature a slightly smaller Dynamic AMOLED display, but the devices will not include a lower-resolution display, according to the SCREEN ID, according to Weibo account Instant Digital .
There were conflicting rumors about whether the iPhone 17 Pro models would have a smaller Dynamic AMOLED display, but the size of it remained unchanged. Now, the rumors are back on the table for the iPhone 18 series, and there’s a decent chance that it’ll be true this time, as Apple is reportedly working on a 2020-based iPhone.
There are rumors of iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro models, so it feels like one of those features that’s always a year or two away. Indeed, if the latest information shared by Instant Digital is accurate, under-screen Face ID won’t debut until the iPhone 19 Pro models or later. The cycle repeats itself.
None of the iPhone 18 models will have an under-display front camera, the account added. Instead, the devices will have a smaller dynamic island and a visible front camera, according to information they shared on Weibo today.
Instant Digital has about 1.5 million followers on Weibo, a popular Chinese social media platform. The account has previously accurately leaked details about upcoming Apple products, such as the iPhone 17 Pro models featuring a vapor chamber cooling system, the yellow finish of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 Titanium Milanese Loop. However, the account doesn’t have a perfect track record, and some of the other iPhone 17 rumors it shared in recent months have not materialized.
We’re still a year away from the iPhone 18 series, so stay tuned because there will be plenty more rumors about the upcoming devices.
