Overview
- Reports based on a Weibo leak suggest iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will move Face ID sensors under the screen, allowing a much smaller or absent Dynamic Island on those models.
- Coverage indicates the standard iPhone 18 and a thin iPhone Air 2 would retain the current Dynamic Island design.
- Multiple outlets citing the same leak say all iPhone 18 models are expected to adopt LTPO displays with 120 Hz refresh rates, with screens around 6.27 inches for iPhone 18/Pro, 6.55 inches for Air 2, and roughly 6.86 inches for Pro Max.
- An analyst note from Jeff Pu, reported by 9to5Mac and Xataka, outlines a staggered plan that would debut iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max and an iPhone Fold in September 2026, with iPhone 18 and Air 2 following in early 2027.
- The same note describes the foldable as featuring 5.3-inch outer and 7.8-inch inner displays, an A20 chip, Apple C2 modem, 12 GB RAM, dual 48 MP rear cameras, a titanium–aluminum build and Touch ID instead of Face ID.
