iPhone 18 Pro to Get Unusual Front Camera Location Modeled on Old Android Smartphones

According to the insider Digital Chat Station, published on the Weibo platform, Apple intends to radically change the screen design for the flagship iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max devices. The main innovation will be the integration of 3D face scanning technology under the display, similar to modern Android devices. Proximity and light sensors will also be hidden under the screen.

Despite these technological improvements, the front camera will remain visible, but will receive a non-standard location – a round cutout will be placed in the upper left corner of the screen, which is reminiscent of the design of some Android smartphones released before 2020.

More affordable models of the line – iPhone 18 and 18 Air – will retain the Dynamic Island familiar to users. It is expected that the announcement of the next generation of Apple smartphones will take place in 2026. These changes may be the most significant update to the design of devices in recent years, although they will evoke associations with outdated solutions from competitors.
