Summary
Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro is now expected to ship with three long-rumored upgrades: a variable-aperture main camera, a smaller Dynamic Island and Apple’s in-house C2 modem.
The display cutout is rumored to shrink by about 35%, marking the first major reduction since Dynamic Island debuted on the iPhone 14 Pro in 2022.
The camera change follows more than two years of reports and could expand photographic control, while the C2 would extend Apple’s modem push after the first in-house C1 arrived last year.
The additions point to a broader iPhone refresh cycle, with separate leaks also indicating larger 6.4-inch and 7-inch Pro displays for Apple’s next redesign.
