According to a report by The Information, Apple is planning a significant redesign for its upcoming flagship phones—iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The report suggests that Apple may introduce under-display Face ID for the first time, coupled with a new screen layout that replaces the pill-shaped cutout with a single punch-hole camera.

iPhone 18 Pro series to feature under-display technology

The redesign involves relocating the front-facing camera to a small punch-hole in the upper-left corner of the screen while embedding the Face ID components beneath the display. This change could eliminate the current Dynamic Island setup, though it’s still unclear whether Apple will completely abandon it or adapt it to the new layout.

Apple’s progression from the notch on the iPhone X to the pill-shaped cutout on the iPhone 14 Pro series aims to maximize screen real estate. The move to a single punch-hole brings the iPhone’s appearance closer to what’s common in the Android space, though Apple continues to stay committed to 3D face authentication instead of adopting under-display fingerprint sensors.

The report also reveals that Apple may stagger the launch of the iPhone 18 series, with the Pro models likely to debut the new under-display Face ID design in 2026. Alongside the Pro models, the brand may also announce the iPhone 18 Air and its foldable iPhone. In contrast, the standard iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18e might debut in spring 2027 with the existing “2+1 punch-hole” configuration.
