iPhone 18 Pro Tipped to Test Under-Display Face ID as Lineup Enters Sample Production

A trusted Weibo tipster says Apple is prototyping LTPO 120Hz displays across the range with a punch-hole camera on Pro models.

Overview

  • Digital Chat Station reports the iPhone 18 family, including a second‑generation iPhone Air, has entered a sample/prototype production stage.
  • The leak lists unchanged screen sizes with LTPO 120Hz across all models: 6.27 inches for iPhone 18 and 18 Pro, 6.55 inches for Air 2, and 6.86 inches for Pro Max.
  • Pro variants are said to be testing under‑display Face ID paired with a punch‑hole selfie camera, while non‑Pro models retain the Dynamic Island.
  • Several outlets reiterate expectations of an A20 Pro chip built on TSMC’s 2nm process for the Pro phones, signaling a performance and efficiency jump.
  • Multiple reports suggest Apple could launch the Pro models in September 2026, with the standard iPhone 18 and Air 2 potentially following in early 2027, though plans could change during prototyping.
