In abstract:
- Macworld reviews that the iPhone 18 Professional’s digital camera cutout could not look dramatically completely different from present fashions, regardless of earlier rumors suggesting main modifications.
- Solely the infrared flood illuminator will transfer underneath the show, whereas the principle digital camera and different Face ID parts stay in a compact central module.
- This association might create a smaller, pill-shaped cutout slightly than the numerous design overhaul beforehand anticipated.
Earlier reviews concerning the iPhone 18 Professional have said that Apple goes to put a number of the Face ID sensor array beneath the show and transfer the digital camera to the upper-left nook, which prompted some hypothesis about whether or not the dynamic island interface parts would transfer, too. Which may not be the case.
Now we’re listening to that such reviews are solely half-right, and the results of a mistranslation. Distinguished leaker account On the spot Digital on Weibo cleared issues up at this time. It says that solely the infrared flood illuminator is transferring to the left and will probably be underneath the show. The opposite parts—dot projector, infrared digital camera, and common digital camera—will probably be in a extra compact module within the heart. For instance, it included what appears like a mockup picture of the TrueDepth module, exhibiting the IR flood illuminator effectively off to the aspect and linked by a ribbon cable.
Since this report, frequent leaker ShrimpApplePro and Ross Younger of DSCC have each corroborated On the spot Digital’s model of occasions.

You’ll be able to see how the present TrueDepth module is a compact array of a number of sensors, and it developed over time. However the supposed iPhone 18 Professional model has one element off to the left of the under-display IR illuminator within the nook, and a smaller grouping to the appropriate, which ought to result in a smaller pill-shaped cutout within the heart.
After all, if the separated element is underneath the show anyway, it begs the query about why it’s separated in any respect? Why not preserve them as one meeting—the pill-shaped cutout would nonetheless be the identical measurement, because the IR illuminator can be underneath the show wherever it’s positioned. Maybe Apple can have different parts that must go close to the middle alongside the highest fringe of the iPhone 18 Professional, and this association creates the mandatory room for them.
We gained’t actually know the reply till the iPhone 18 Professional ships and the teardowns start. However when the iPhone 18 Professional arrives in September, don’t be stunned if it appears quite a bit just like the iPhone 17 Professional.
