Apple reduces the "notch" on the iPhone. Face ID is placed under the screen.

Apple is preparing one of the biggest visual changes in the iPhone for years. The upcoming model 18 Pro is set to receive a noticeably smaller cutout on the screen, as part of the Face ID system will be hidden under the OLED matrix. It's not a revolution, but a change that users will notice right away.

Dynamic Island finally smaller

The cutout in the screen is set to be reduced by over 30 percent – from approximately 20.7 mm to 13.5 mm. Apple will hide the infrared light and Face ID dot projector under the display. Only the hole for the 24 MP front camera will remain on the surface. Dynamic Island will still be centrally located and will maintain its system animations, but will take up less space when watching videos or playing games. Rumours of a complete removal of the island have not been confirmed. Apple is moving towards evolution, not radical revolution.

Greater leap in camera and performance

The iPhone 18 Pro is set to feature a camera with a variable aperture, which will allow for physical control over the amount of light and naturally adjust the depth of field. Additionally, there will be a new telephoto lens and a sensor from Samsung. The heart of the device will be the A20 Pro chip manufactured using a 2 nm process, along with 12 GB of RAM, which is expected to enhance the performance of AI functions. The Pro Max version will feature a battery exceeding 5100 mAh and a new C2 modem with expanded satellite connectivity. Apple is also preparing a new colour option in a deep red shade.

Apple does not completely eliminate the notch, but significantly reduces it and adds real improvements in the camera and performance. The iPhone 18 Pro promises to be the most refined generation of the Pro line in several years.
