Design and Dynamic Islands

The iPhone 18 Pro appears in an unofficial video showing a design almost identical to the previous model, with lines and materials consistent with the Pro range. The images, attributed to Front Page Tech and Jon Prosser , indicate a continuity of aesthetic language for the alleged iPhone 18 Pro Max , which would remain a larger version of the same project. The focus, therefore, would not be a structural redesign, but micro-refinements invisible to the average user.

The most obvious difference concerns the management of the Dynamic Island : according to the clip, it doesn't disappear but changes position, "moving" from the top left corner of the display. This choice is linked to a repositioning of the front sensors, with the aim of further freeing up the central area of ​​the screen. Its contextual hub function for calls, navigation, sports scores, and real-time notifications remains unchanged.

The Face ID facial recognition system would be located under the display, a solution already predicted by previous rumors. This integration would allow for a cleaner front without sacrificing biometric responsiveness, while the new position of the Dynamic Island aims to safeguard content enjoyment and reduce visual distractions in the central interaction areas.

Expected colors and variants

Rumors attributed to Front Page Tech and Jon Prosser indicate that Apple is evaluating new finishes for the iPhone 18 Pro . Burgundy , brown , and purple shades are reportedly being tested , promising to refresh the 2026 palette without disrupting the line's premium identity. The color options emerge from renders based on supply chain information and do not alter the materials or geometry of the frame.

According to the leak, at least one of these could join already leaked colorways, including silver, orange, and blue , composing a broader catalog for the launch expected in September 2026. The approach would be incremental: saturated and warm colors to differentiate the Pro models, while maintaining classic shades for those looking for aesthetic continuity.

The color strategy aims to consolidate the range's positioning through subtle contrasts and finishes that enhance the hardware, with particular attention to metal rendering and interface consistency. The final selection will depend on production testing and alignment with supply chain partners.

Front camera and hardware news

The video attributed to Front Page Tech and Jon Prosser suggests moving the front-facing camera to the top left corner, with the Face ID system integrated under the display for a cleaner panel and less visual intrusiveness. This solution promises to preserve the speed and reliability of unlocking, leaving Dynamic Island to serve as a contextual interface that extends from the new position.

Among the technical updates mentioned is a variable aperture camera system, designed to optimize photos and videos in varying lighting conditions, reducing noise and improving depth of field control. There's also talk of a simplified Camera Control button for easier access to creative functions and 5G satellite connectivity designed to improve reliability in scenarios with limited terrestrial coverage.

According to the leak, the user experience will focus on consistency and micro-optimizations: less invasive interfaces, more intuitive controls, and an enhanced image pipeline without disrupting the form factor. The release schedule remains aligned with the traditional autumn cycle, pending official confirmation on the final hardware configuration and the scope of advanced photography features.
