iPhone 18 Pro Dynamic Island Comparison With iPhone 17 Pro Reveals 35% Reduction, Current Generation Cutout Measures 20.76mm

Apple is moving closer to a ‘full-screen’ iPhone design with the launch of the iPhone 18 later this year, and the company is expected to look to the use of LTPO+ panels to help achieve its under-display Face ID implementation. In short, with the TrueDepth camera and all its components expected to be integrated under the OLED panel, Dynamic Island will likely be trimmed, but by how much? According to the latest comparison, quite a lot, both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are reported to have experienced a decline of 35 percent.

Based on the latest Dynamic Island size reduction, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max Dynamic Island measures 13.49 mm

New details shared on the yeux1122 blog mention a size reduction for Dynamic Island, although that doesn’t mean that Apple will adopt a front-facing cutout like its Android competitors. However, this means that the pill-sized cutout will likely be smaller, with Apple perhaps not wanting to switch to a punch-hole design due to the negative impact it would have, with the perception that the company is copying its competitors. A 35 percent reduction in the size of the Dynamic Island means the cutout will measure 13.49mm, down from 20.76mm, enabling a higher ‘screen to body’ ratio for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models.

The design changes are expected to attract buyers, but Apple could lure more customers by placing more emphasis on hardware specifications. For example, the A20 and A20 Pro are slated to be the company’s first 2nm chipsets, but more importantly, Apple could market its implementation of the architecture and compare it to the A19 and A19 Pro to generate more interest. Additionally, assuming Apple manages to get iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max prototypes running, that means the company has addressed the issue of Face ID’s inability to authenticate accurately when behind the display sheet.

The iPhone Fold prototype reportedly shipped with an in-display front camera, suggesting that Apple may have perfected the technology and is ready to show it off in its first foldable phone. However, knowing that Apple, the California-based giant, may scrap the idea of ​​under-display Face ID if performance doesn’t live up to its expectations, so remember to treat these details with a pinch of salt, and we’ll be back with more updates.
