Apple Approaches Full-Screen iPhone Design with iPhone 18
As the anticipated launch of the iPhone 18 nears, Apple appears poised to unveil its much-discussed ‘full screen’ design. The integration of LTPO+ panels is expected to facilitate the incorporation of an under-display Face ID system.
The TrueDepth camera, along with its components, is projected to be embedded beneath the OLED panel. Consequently, the dimensions of the Dynamic Island may be notably reduced.
Recent comparisons suggest that both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could see a substantial size reduction of approximately 35 percent.
Dynamic Island Size Reduction Details
Insights from yeux1122’s blog reveal that although the Dynamic Island will be diminished in size, Apple is unlikely to adopt a punch-hole front-facing cutout akin to its Android counterparts.
The prospective reshaping suggests a smaller pill-shaped cutout, allowing Apple to preserve its distinctive design ethos.
Such an alteration would reduce the cutout size to 13.49mm from its previous 20.76mm, thereby enhancing the ‘screen to body’ ratio for both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models.
While this design innovation is likely to captivate new buyers, Apple may further entice consumers by accentuating its hardware attributes. Notably, the forthcoming A20 and A20 Pro chipsets are anticipated to be the company’s inaugural 2nm processors.
Apple could strategically highlight architectural advancements when juxtaposed with the A19 and A19 Pro, thereby piquing greater interest.
Additionally, should Apple successfully navigate the prototype phase of its iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, it could effectively resolve the issue of Face ID’s authentication reliability when concealed beneath a display surface.

Furthermore, rumors suggest that a prototype of the iPhone Fold may feature an in-screen front-facing camera, indicating that Apple could be on the cusp of perfecting this technology for its inaugural foldable device.
However, considering Apple’s rigorous standards, it’s prudent to approach such speculations with skepticism. The company may ultimately decide against employing under-display Face ID if it fails to meet performance expectations. Additional updates will follow as more information becomes available.
