There’s been a lot of buzz about the iPhone 18 Pro and its Dynamic Island feature. People are curious about how the selfie camera and Face ID will fit in. Recent discussions have left many wondering if the Dynamic Island will even be necessary anymore, but new information sheds light on the situation.
Apple aims for a sleek design that hides both the selfie camera and Face ID components under the display. Jony Ive, a former Apple design chief, envisioned this seamless look as “a single slab of glass.” The challenge? It’s easier to hide Face ID than the selfie camera, mainly because Apple prioritizes photo quality.
Some reports suggested that the iPhone 18 Pro would only have a small punch-hole for the selfie camera, potentially moving it to the left side of the display. YouTuber Jon Prosser supported this view with video renders, as did the Korean site ET News.
However, a leaker known as Instant Digital claims there was a misunderstanding in those reports. They revealed an image showing the selfie camera will stay in the center, along with a visible but smaller cutout for Face ID components. Display analyst Ross Young confirmed this, emphasizing his earlier hints about it.
So, what can we expect from the iPhone 18 Pro?
- The selfie camera will remain centered.
- There will be a smaller cutout for the camera and Face ID.
- The Dynamic Island feature will stay just like before.
This updated design seems to please the majority of users, as seen from recent social media reactions. Many are expressing their excitement for the upcoming iPhone, eager to see how these changes play out.
In the world of tech, users’ opinions can shape products. Apple listens closely to feedback from its community, which has always been a hallmark of its success. As we await the launch, it’s fascinating to see how public opinion and expert insights shape what we carry in our pockets.
