Apple plans major changes for the iPhone 18 Pro models coming in future years. The company will ditch the pill-shaped notch that has appeared on recent phones. A small circular hole will replace it to house just the front camera.
The iPhone 18 Pro will have a 6.27-inch screen. The larger Pro Max version will feature a 6.86-inch display. Both phones will use advanced OLED technology that adjusts refresh rates between 1Hz and 120Hz to save battery power.
Face ID sensors will move underneath the screen instead of sitting in the notch. This change gives users more screen space since the display can stretch further. Apple has tested this technology for several years but moves slowly when making design changes.
The under-screen Face ID system might not work as well as current versions. Cameras placed under displays often produce lower quality images. Apple could cancel these plans if the technology does not meet their standards.
The iPhone 19 series might get an even cleaner look with no visible cutouts at all. That phone line will mark Apple's 20th anniversary of making smartphones. Engineers continue working on the technology but face technical challenges.
