- Base iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are tipped to retain the Dynamic Island, with display sizes around 6.27 inches and 6.55 inches respectively, while the Pro models stay near 6.27 inches and 6.86 inches.
- All four models are consistently reported to feature LTPO OLED panels at 120Hz, matching the broader move to uniform high‑refresh displays across the range.
