Apple reduces the "gap" in the iPhone. Face ID is going under the screen.

Apple is preparing one of the biggest visual changes to the iPhone in years. The upcoming 18 Pro model 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 it's a change that users will notice immediately.

Dynamic Island finally smaller

The cutout on the screen is set to be reduced by over 30 percent – from about 20.7 mm to 13.5 mm. Apple will hide the infrared illuminator and Face ID dot projector under the display. Only a hole for the 24 Mpix front camera will remain on the surface. Dynamic Island will still be centered and will retain its system animations, but will take up less space while watching videos or gaming. Rumors 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, allowing for physical control of the amount of light and naturally adjusting 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 and 12 GB of RAM, which is expected to improve the performance of AI functions. The Pro Max version will feature a battery exceeding 5100 mAh and a new C2 modem with enhanced satellite connectivity. Apple is also preparing a new color option in a deep red shade.

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