The devices will feature a smaller Dynamic Island display cutout, an advanced A20 Pro chip, enhanced cameras, improved battery life, a simplified Camera Control button, and Apple's in-house C2 modem.

The iPhone 18 Pro models will retain the same screen sizes and overall dimensions as their iPhone 17 Pro predecessors.

Leaks from case manufacturers and prototype images suggest this change results from relocating some Face ID components, such as the flood illuminator, beneath the display. This would minimize the visible punch-hole area while maintaining functionality for notifications and interactive features introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro.
