For a long time, a notch-free iPhone has been a dream for Apple fans. While the company is slowly moving toward that goal, recent rumors about the iPhone 18 Pro have created quite a bit of confusion. Some recent reports suggested a radical redesign where the selfie camera would move to the corner, potentially killing off the Dynamic Island as we know it. However, new information from reliable industry sources has finally set the record straight.
The dynamic island is staying centered on the iPhone 18 Pro
The confusion started with leaked supply chain data. The report that Apple might hide the Face ID components under the screen earlier than expected. This led to speculation that the central “pill” cutout would disappear, leaving only a small hole for the camera. Some even predicted that Apple would shift this camera to the left side of the screen. This would noticeably change how the interface looks and feels.
The latest updates come from respected display analysts, including the highly reliable Ross Young. They suggest a much more conservative—and logical—evolution. Instead of a radical move to the corner, the iPhone 18 Pro will likely keep its selfie camera exactly where it is: dead center.
Apple is really trying to make the Face ID sensors hard to see. However, the technology isn’t quite ready to disappear entirely. The technology to make the camera practically imperceptible is there, but the company needs to achieve it without compromising security or speed.
A refinement, not a revolution
For the iPhone 18 Pro, we can expect the cutout to become noticeably smaller, but not invisible. So, the Dynamic Island will remain a core part of the software experience. It continues to be a way to hide the hardware while providing useful shortcuts and notifications.
This news might disappoint those hoping for a truly “all-screen” iPhone next year. Still, the “island” will occupy less space on the screen, giving users a bit more display real estate while maintaining the familiar symmetry that has defined the iPhone for years. It turns out that the “single slab of glass” vision is still a few years away. Meanwhile, the next step in that journey will be a smaller, sleeker version of the design we already know.
