As we have already informed in recent months and, above all, in recent weeks, the entire iPhone range that will come out this year will present important changes in terms of design. However, it will not be until 2027, with the iPhone 18 Prowhen Apple decides to break your schemes and opt for a model with a fully renewed screen design.
As revealed by a report from The Informationthe iPhone 18 pro and iPhone 18 pro max would arrive with a system Face ID completely hidden under the screen. In this way, we would only see a small “notch” or circular hole in the upper left corner of the panel, leaving behind the dynamic island.
iPhone All screen: This would be
This filtration, also backed by the renowned Ross Young screens analyst, suggests that Apple is actively working on a total integration of its biometric sensors. If confirmed, we would be before the greater aesthetic evolution From the iPhone from the Redesign of the iPhone X in 2017, when the start button disappeared and Face ID was introduced for the first time. The idea of hiding all facial recognition technology under the panel is not new, in fact many manufacturers have already installed it, but so far for Apple there was more a utopia than a reality.
The most striking novelty is the location of the only visible element: the Selfie Chamber, which would pass to a discreet hole in the upper left of the device, as in many Android deviceswinning screen space. Apple, faithful to its design principles, would have expected to have refined technology to make this change without compromising the user experience.
Now, the big question is what will happen to the dynamic island, that animated interface that Apple has driven from the iPhone 14 Pro as a way of giving life to the frontal cut. If the Face ID module disappears and only one camera remains in a corner, it is not clear if Apple will maintain this function as a software layer or if it will be completely eliminated. It could even reinvent himself to adapt to this new location, although that would imply redesigning many animations and behaviors of the operating system.
The iPhone 18 Pro will be a revolution
Of course, all this remains information without officially confirming by Apple, and there are still many months left until the iPhone 18 Pro are presented, predictably in September 2026. Some Android mobiles have already tested with cameras under the screen, but the photographic quality has been affected. If Apple has found a formula to maintain the quality of the Face ID and the front camera without compromising the design, it would be a very significant advance.
It still remains to be seen how the public reacts and if this redesign becomes the new iPhone standard. What seems clear is that Apple is willing to finally eliminate the dynamic island and offer a visual experience without distractions. And that, coming from Cupertino, is not anything. Are you prepared to say goodbye to the most famous island of technology?
